Entrapdak Zine a Go-Go baby!

~~~~~

Edit July 2nd 2021:

The deadline has now past in every time zone and the Zine is now being processed with final checks being made. The first issue will be ready by the latest Monday 5th July.

~~~~

Oh hello again Everyone, sorry about the delay on getting back to this, don’t worry I’ve not forgotten about this project!!

Without further delay here’s the rough layout for our Entrapdak Zine:

A Digital Zine containing content created by the fans for the fans

A 100% Free Zine

Preferred Language is English

Age Rating:

This Zine will contain content rated Y7 and PG13 rated

There WILL BE NO NSFW or 18+ content

I forgot to share earlier that I compile the Viewtiful Joe Fanzine every year, I will be adapting VJ Zine’s Issue 4 layout which I think is nice and clear with full credit for everyone who makes a Submission for this Zine.

Theme:

Keeping in the spirit of Entrapdak the theme if you wish to use it is:

“Imperfectly Perfect”

This theme is a suggestion so if you’d rather make an Entrapdak piece without this them please feel free to do so.  I want you to have fun!

Allowed Characters:

As long as both Entrapta and Hordak are the main focus and the piece follows Age Rating it will be allowed.

Other allowed characters in the Entrapdak family include Emily, Imp and the Clones (also known as Spacebats)...yes weirdly this also  includes Horde Prime.

Other She-Ra characters will be allowed but Entrapdak is to be the core element.

Okay so Submissions! What’s sort of stuff is allowed?

Sex Swap AU, Species Swap AU, Furry AU, Toony AU, Anime AU, Fankid AU, Coffee Shop AU, married AU, just besties AU just to name the few that pop into my head! Oh yeah Canon lab partners Entrapdak too...hehe nearly forgot about that one XD. Make something Entrapdak related and have fun!!

Fan Art guidelines:

Fan art can include rough sketches, screencap redraws, comics (appox 1-10 length), coloured sketches or full colour pieces. Fan art can be in the digital or traditional medium.  Traditional fan art can either be submitted as a photo or scanned, which ever you prefer.

Preferred sizing for Digital art:

Height 2048px by 1536pm DPI 132 

Portrait layout is preferred

PNG is preferred but I will understand if you only wish to send a workable JPEG

HERE’S A PREPARED PSD FILE IF YOU’D LIKE TO USE IT 

Larger images may end up with a white border on the edges due to the PDF publishing settings.  I’ll try my best to avoid this if I can!

Fan Writing guidelines:

This includes fan fiction, analysis eassys, poetry or whatever else you’d like to write about.  I would ask this content to be between 1k-10k words in length. If you have a favourite font please let me know and I’ll try my best to print your writing in that font.

How to Apply:

Make your content and email it to entrapdakzineisluvd[at]gmail.com by JULY 1ST.  

Please make sure to include your Social Media contacts and which name or username you wish to be identified by.

I will reply to confirm I have received the content and that’s it I take care of the rest!

FAQs:

Why no Application form?

I don’t want anyone to feel like they are applying for a job here, this is supposed to be fun.

Will there be Guest Artists or Guest Writers?

If they apply sure, I’m not advertising who applies to be a part of this ZIne until it’s ready to be published.  I don’t want anyone to feel intimidated just because a certain person has chosen to participate.

Can I submit more than one piece?

If you’d like to certainly!  If you’d like to submit up to three pieces, sure go for it!

Unless you are submitting a 10k piece or writing or a full 10 page comic I will recommend you just submit that and take a break cos THAT’S a lot of work!

May I post a preview of my work to my Followers?

Sure! Bonus points if you link them to this post so that they can take part if they wish

May I post my work online?

I would ask if you could please wait until the issue featuring your work is published. Of course this does not apply if you are chosen to submit and older work - in this case may I ask that you edit or add to said post to mention the work was also used in the Zine?

Is this only for people with a [insert certain social media account here]?

Nope, this is for anyone who wants to take part.  I only ask for a social media contact so that others who like you work for the ZIne may follow you on your preferred social media platform.

I want to submit but I don’t want to share my email address or social media accounts

Sure I’m happy to offer this solution to anyone who wishes to remain anonymous for whatever reason

simply upload work to a file sharing website (Google Drive or Dropbox is preferred) 

Send the link via the Tumblr Anon Ask feature on my Tumblr (this will NOT be published publicly).  

If you feel up to it please state a colour, number and choose to be a Clone or an EKS - this will be your ONLY identifier.  Failure to state any will result in a random combination chosen

Ah I can’t get this done before the deadline - it’s almost ready!!!  I need another day!!!!

Contact me, either through the submitting email over via my Tumblr or Twitter DMs. I might be able to work something out.  Worse comes to worse it’ll just have to go in the next issue...

More Entrapdak Zines??

Sure why not? If the community still wants them I’ll keep compiling them ever three or so months.  I’ve seen what us nerds can do!

Where can I find the finished Zine?

All finished Zines will be hosted on a shared Google Drive link.  Please share it with your other Entrapdak friends when it is ready.
