Art I Forgot Existed: Part III

I made this painting a long time ago for the SPN Quaranzine, back then I didn't post it because I wanted to share it during spring, but it has been almost four years now, and every year I forget to post it till it's too late. So I'm posting this now on a cold October day, while it's heavily raining outside my window, to remind myself (and you) that spring always comes back.

My entry for Volume 5 of @supernaturalquaranzine​. Hope you enjoy.

Summary: It must have been a week since the cat appeared on his patio for the first time. The little sneak tried to break in every night, but Dean had avoided that nightmare scenario so far. He would have happily invited the little fuzzball inside to keep him company, but his stupid allergies prevented it.

Dean entered the newly opened coffee shop downtown. Taking in a deep breath, he inhaled the notes of coffee and freshly baked pastries. It was heavenly, until he couldn’t smell anything at all.

“Are you okay?” the stranger asked. The name tag on his chest indicated that he must work here. Castiel Dean read, but he barely noticed any of it, because, right in front of him, stood the most intriguing man he had ever laid eyes on. Tall, dark, and freaking handsome.

FANDOM INVOLVEMENT

Different fandoms have different ways to show their support to the content, while also giving back to the community or other fans.

I've been active in online fandom spaces since I was 13, enjoying different media and talking to different people. Some of them are still in my life after all these years, some aren't. In recent years, I've felt more confident in sharing my writing and my art, due to the fact that they are, first and foremost, a way to interact with other fans and share my love (and hate, let's be honest) for the source material.

This has allowed me to meet new friends and find like-minded people to work with to bring something new and good into the world.

This will be a list of all the zines or projects I got involved in as a creator so far (updated as I get into new things, I guess!) that gave back to the community in some way. I'll write down a short explanation of the project, as well as info on how to get it, if possible, and what I made for it.

SUPERNATURAL QUARANTINE FANZINE VOL. 4: "FAMILY DON'T END WITH BLOOD"

Info about the Zine:

@supernaturalquaranzine

The Supernatural Quarantine Fanzine is a PDF-only charity fanzine based on the CW show Supernatural. It will feature stunning artworks and written pieces, as well as digital and printable merchandise.

The zine goes live on Gumroad. Each time a new issue comes out, the previous volumes become available again. The zine is "pay what you want" starting at $1, and the collective of writers and artists decide together which charity to donate the money to at the end of the campaign.

Furthermore, the zine also has a Society6 store. All proceeds from you buying the goodies are also donated to charity.

After a few months, when the campaign is over, the authors can post their work on AO3 or somewhere else.

Vol. 4's sales went to the Legacy of War’s Mobility Fundraiser and all the info regarding what the zine contains can be found HERE.

Credited in the post as "demonicsoulmates" (my previous tumblr name), I contributed with a Debriel one-shot: "Of New Houses & Found Family", which can now be found on AO3.

The zine mods also announced HERE, at the end of the campaign, that thanks to other fans buying the zine, that we were able to raise £75 (Approx. $90) for Legacy of War’s Ukraine Effort.

SUPERNATURAL QUARANTINE FANZINE VOL. 5: WITCHES/FAMILIARS

You can find the info about the zine right above :) I liked the experience, so I participated again!

With Vol. 5, the idea was to choose either an animal to adopt, or a animal rescue center to support, in the name of the SPN Family. The info can be found HERE. I will put a link to the info regarding the donation when available.

Again credited as "demonicsoulmates", this time I contributed both as a writer and an artist. As a writer, I contributed with a Ducifer one-shot: "Graveyard Confessions (Love is a Healing Spell)", which can now be found on AO3. As an artist, I contributed to Ducifer stickers that directly go with my story. These are not available (yet?) if you don't buy Vol. 5.

Hoping to participate in more projects like this (and in the next volume of the Quarantine zine), I'll keep you updated!

Well, mine is more a wing-comic story, sweet, funny and full of feathers! Hope you enjoy it! ^_^

THANK YOU so much for everyone who supported the SPN Quarantine Zine!

Bloom - an SPN Quarantine Zine Vol.2 piece

2,3k / Dean+Cas / Saileen / Canon-compliant until 15x19, disregards anything after / Grief+mourning+angst, but ends so happily and in love, I promise <3

Summary: Castiel's death destroyed the future Dean was hoping they'd have, so he decides to build something Cas could come back to.

💐 💙 💚

I had the honor of working with the absolutely amazing @hitori-alouette and their art for this is truly stunning. It captures the magic and warmth and love I tried to write about, and you have to see it.

Read my fic Bloom on AO3 here.

As we did previously, we are also making all previous volumes for purchase again! For charity transparency, all proceeds from these sales will go to Legacy of War’s fundraiser.

Volume One can be found HERE Volume Two can be found HERE Volume Three can be found HERE

Finally, as requested:

For full transparency - While SQZ welcomes Gen and majority of the ships in Supernatural, there is usually a significant amount of Destiel content. With this volume being dedicated to Bobby’s Quote “Family Don’t End in Blood” there is more Gen content in this volume, however we cannot guarantee what will be included in future volumes. We put out an open call for content providers, and we work with those who apply. We have not turned away a single applicant yet. If you would like to provide content, please keep an eye out for the Call for Applicants for Volume Five in Mid-Summer 2022. We’d be more than happy to have you.

Volume 4 Theme and Charity Announcement!

Good Day! The members of the SQZ Collective are happy to announce the theme for Volume Four, and the Charity that will be receiving the proceeds! First, the theme! In times like these, where the world is in chaos and people are hurting, that we have each other. That’s one of the most important things, and we believe most of us can agree that a certain Bobby Singer said it best: Family don’t end with blood.

All the pieces in Volume four will use Bobby’s quote as inspiration. Our members are already at work, coming up with ideas for fic, art, and merch.

So then, who’s going to get the proceeds from Volume Four? As a collective, we took several recommendations from those directly affected by what’s happening in Ukraine. After several days of voting, we have decided that we will be donating to the Ukrainian Red Cross. 

The Zine will be launching on May 9th, 2022. Keep an eye on our Tumblr and Twitter pages for more information! And, as always. For full transparency: While SQZ welcomes Gen and majority of the ships in Supernatural, previous volumes of the Zine have skewed towards Destiel content. We put out an open call for content providers, and we work with those who apply. We have not turned away a single applicant yet. If you would like to provide content, please keep an eye out for the Call for Applicants for Volume Five. We’d be more than happy to have you.

Volume Three of The SQZ is live, with a Winter Holiday Theme! The members of SQZ voted and decided for all proceeds to go to the @aclu via the ACLU Foundation.

We still have our Society6 store - all proceeds from items purchased via the store will go to the current volume’s Charity. So all proceeds will go to the ACLU. We are also making Volumes One and Two available for purchase again!

Volume One can be found HERE Volume Two can be found HERE

As a reminder: We let our authors and artists choose what they wanted to submit, as long as it follows the three rules originally set - no incest, no underage (adult/minor), no explicit. That was Sam’s main rule, and as Sam started the Zine, we continue to honor that request.
