[slavhew]

any thots on shinra and izaya? :3

IM SO SORRY I FORGOT TO ANSWER THIS GJKGD

I wanted to type up this like, long heartfelt post because these two make me insane in the membrane. I love them platonic and romantic both because either way at the core of their relationship there is a tragedy of two people who could've been inseparable, and then separated.

And I think it's a TRAVESTY that they didn't animate the breakdown Izaya had at the thought of Shinra dropping him. It makes the scene where Shinra waxes poetic about Izaya being fragile in the last arc make sense the way it just doesn't in the anime.

I dont think anything speaks on my thoughts better than my Actual thoughts during my last Durarara phase so! Have the raw screenshots :] ft. Friends

Anyone want some doujins?

I’m getting rid of a tonne of my old ones. They’re for Lucky Dog 1, Supernatural and Durarara (shizayaaaaa). Not really looking to make money off them, I’d just rather someone who wants them could have them. xD Hit me up if you’re interested

[fandomzines]

Do you know if there are any DRRR!! zines?

Sorry but I don’t know any DRRR!! zines! :’D

[coralsweep]

fic rec list nobody asked for 1/5

I applied a bunch of filters on my bookmarks on AO3 and picked some out. There’s a few different fandoms on here, and the next fic rec lists will have different fandoms as well, because I’ve read for so many lol. I haven’t included all the tags or anything, though, so please read those and take care :)

BNHA

putting in the hard work now by pvwork - 500 words, Midoriya Body Horror

Your body is at once a prison and a spaceship. It'll take you far, but you can't ever leave.

of weight by Anonymous - 300 words, Midoriya-centric

You think about giving up, sometimes.

always by valdera - 1.1k, Bakugo & Midoriya

Destiny is a piece of shit, Bakugou reminds himself, and so is Deku. Neither of those will get the better of him.

(a study on bakugou katsuki, destiny, deku, and everything that connects the three)

Little Matron by mochacreams - 1k, Momo Character Study

Momo remembers the first time she tried making a matryoshka doll. She remembers the chipping paint and oblong body shape and cracked bottoms. She laughs, looking back, at the ones she’d created without faces and the others that had no heads at all. Practice makes perfect.

Show & Tell by babbeige - 700 words, Hawks Character Study

he's the toy being shown and told, undesirable parts of him hidden and hushed, because the audience wasn't there for his dirty secrets and sad truths. they're there for the golden, the heavy cast of liquid perfection covering his sunspots, jagged scars and sinking into his wounds. bleeding into his blood stream, and turning him golden and pretty inside out.

hes good at following orders, at playing the golden boy trapped in his perfect golden cage. the golden boy craving freedom and needing someone to break open his prison.

but the reality is, the cage door is wide open, gold bars spread far enough for him to slip out, and yet he's staying in his cage like a stupidly loyal pet.

my god, i’m so lonely by Kaleid369 - 2.5k, Hagakure Character Study 

Tōru is four years old when her Quirk first manifests. It happens slowly, gradually, and she doesn’t notice until it’s too late.

It starts with her hands.

Hagakure Tōru grows up far too fast.

Graves of the Firefly by Yomi_is_tired - 190 words, poetry

hope has died to-day.

raise your hand to catch the sunlight (clench your fist around the dark) by livtontea - 1.9k, poetry on various characters

A collection of my bnha poems because,, i got back into it lmao

the cities like shimmering novas by Heronfem - 1.9k, Hawks & Amajiki 

Suneater and Hawks have an unexpected discussion overlooking Doutonbori canal, making Tamaki reflect on just what kind of hero he wants to be.

like stars into existence by shantealeaves - 4.2k, Momo & Mei

“Is she good?”

Tenya stared at her for a moment. “She’s the best,” he finally said—and it was clear his silence came not from second-guessing the recommendation, but from not understanding how she could ever doubt it.

Pro Heroes Yaoyorozu Momo and Hatsume Mei form an unexpected partnership. Written for the Big Damn Heroes Zine.

Noragami

apotheosis by celestial_nova - 860 words, Hiyori-centric

when zeus gazed upon semele, she burst into flames; for what more is a human, in the face of a god, than predestined ash?

The Half-Life of Recovery by rabbitprint - 7.3k, Takemikazuchi & Kiun

Spoilers for vol. 17, Takemikazuchi backstory. Pre-series.

Even though Takemikazuchi's surviving shinki have not been memorialized by gravestones, they are just as much his victims -- and neither side can forget.

what is reflected by ali_summerset - 1.2k, Kazuma Character Study

"He doesn’t know what to make of Iki Hiyori at first."

Kazuma contemplates his similarities with the half-ayakashi human girl.

oh nostalgia, i don't need you anymore by swanfrost - 5k, Yato Character Study

yato’s shinki always have the tragic habit of quitting on him. and like a coward, he lets them go.

“that’s just proper etiquette,” kofuku says, nodding in approval at yato’s apparent respectability. but every time yato has to face a slobbering ayakashi empty handed, every time he instinctively reaches to call for a name he doesn’t have the right to say anymore —

yato wonders how long it will take for him to become forgotten.

yato, yukine, and the question: what is the duty a god has to his shinki?

DRRR!!

Cuardaigh by odette (thimble) - 700 words, Graphic Depictions of Violence. 

You know that the sky is blue, the grass is green, and blood is as red as you are a Dullahan. You ride on a steed blacker than night, your purpose is hidden, somewhere, in your immortal bones, and for the first time you fear everything and revere nothing.

Your name is Celty Sturluson.

But that is all you know.

[liberationzine]

What is the theme of this Zine?

Dark, Mysterious, or powerful, this is a zine looking to make the best out of the already incredibly cool Paranormal Liberation Front. We want to see our villains at their worst and by that, we mean in the limelight of their villainy. Whether it’s the full blast of Power that Dabi creates with his quirk or the sheer political power that Re-Destro holds, all forms of villainous propaganda are welcome here. Help us in our endeavor to gain more followers to become truly Liberated.

Please note that this means we focus on their success and power. While many villains have despair inducing history that lead to where they are now, that is not the focus of this zine.

Zine Specs

Physical Zine with Physical Merch For profit, with funds going to production first. → If you are under the legal age for your country, you agree that you have your parents permission or are choosing to opt out of monetary compensation. Final dimensions and specs to come.

Financial officer for various clubs, collected member dues, kept club accounts, sold t-shirts and coordinated fundraisers

Where will the funds go?

This is a for profit zine, with the funds going to manufacturing first. Ideally, we will be able to send all contributors a full bundle, but this depends on the sales. All contributors will definitely receive the PDF file for the zine free of charge! Merchandise will definitely be offered at production cost to contributors as well.

What are the restrictions on this zine?

This zine is SFW This mean no obsessive gore or nudity. Small amounts of blood are okay! This zine will NOT have shipping Romantic/fluffy pieces will not be allowed! Please stay on theme. This zine will not include theories I.e. [ Redacted ] is the missing Todoroki child.

What are the restrictions on contributors?

All Contributors must have or be willing to make a Discord account.

Contributors retain the right to their work and can redistribute AFTER zine sales close. We will send out a notice when it is okay for contributors to do so.

You may apply for merch, writing,  AND illustration, but you will likely only be chosen for one. Please keep that in mind!

Portfolios with BnHA art is nice, but NOT required.

Traditional art is accepted, but it must be scanned in high quality and at least 300 DPI.

Additionally you must be able to adjust value/color/etc in Photoshop or give permission/work with a mod to do this.

Contributors will be picked on skill alone.

Although bigots, racists, homophobes etc. will be automatically crossed off our list :^]

Contributors will be assigned a base character and will need to clear the inclusion of other characters with a mod to ensure we don’t have, Toga for example,  in everyone’s piece. It’s just to keep track of the character diversity in the zine.

Characters from the entire Paranormal Liberation Front will be included in the zine

Characters will be assigned based on the quality of pitch delivered to their respective mods (Art mod, or Writing mod for Illustration/Merch, or Writing respectively).

Contributor REQs Show us your best art/style that you plan to use for the zine. We have a preference to see good art and writing rather than BnHA pieces. We are judging strictly on your skills as an artist!

Illustrators

We’re looking for an understanding of anatomy and design principles. Things like composition, color, perspective, hierarchy, rhythm. The application itself will ask for a medium portfolio 7-15 pieces. This can be a google drive folder, or a personal website etc. (just not a cluttered social media). Literal backgrounds are not required; however, we are still looking at your backgrounds and compositions. We’re looking for how a piece works altogether. That being said, pieces with backgrounds have higher potential as it allows detail, setting, and perspective. Please note, we love a contributor who can follow directions on 7-15 pieces.

Merch

We’re looking for similar things to the illustrators, but obviously designed for merch. If you want to make charms show us what you can do as a charm. If you want to make buttons, show us your button designs. Ideally 10+ designs, but more is welcome in your portfolio.

Writers

We’re looking for contributors with solid characterization, grammar, wordflow, and know how to convey a mood. We will be asking for three writing examples of 1k-3k. You may also include a portfolio if you so desire. Portfolios may be a direct link to your Archive of our Own account or hosted on google drive, caard, wix, or another similar website. Please do not give us a link to a tumblr tag. Examples do not need to be BNHA, but they cannot be NSFW. Show us fics similar to what you want to write for the zine. Please remember that for the zine itself, we want your pieces to feel like a form of power propaganda!

[durararazine]

Hello loves! It's been awhile! We hope you are all safe and healthy. We wanted to give you all an update on leftover sales. Shipping from the UK is still very high and we are continuing to put off leftover sales until the prices lower. Thank you for your patience! - Mod Kanra

[arcvzine]

Hello everyone!   

I’m Erine (@rose--whip) and I’ll be the organization mod! This will be my first YGO zine, but I have been a longtime fan since I was in elementary school. I’m really excited to be able to help out with this project. Some of my zine experience as a mod includes Yu Yu Haute Couture and Urban Legends: A DRRR Zine 

I’m looking forward to working with everyone on this project.

[erazr]

Would you ever consider rping in the drrr fandom again?

RPing, you mean with ask blogs like I used to? I don't think I have that level of commitment right now but I'd like to doodle Drrr again as soon I'm free from zine work :')

I loved owning ask blogs and they're fun but they can be pretty intense

[olderthannetfic]

#thank you so much#i think it’s just the history of it that I love#In addition to wanting to hear about queer media

Look at me automatically answering all asks as if they’re anonymous. Drrr. 🤦

Yeah, there are a billion publishers. Basically, find any old queer book, look up the publisher, and then look up whatever else the publisher has put out. A few more academic books will be coming from university presses, but the vast majority of older queer stuff was published by queer publishers.

I have a trashy old romance novel that’s actually zine fic with the serial numbers filed off, and it seems to be from Prowler/GMP. So here, for your reading pleasure, is a history of GMP:

https://gmppubs.wordpress.com/a-short-history-of-gay-mens-press/

The description on the front page is very typical of gay presses of yore:

“Gay Men’s Press was an independent publishing house for our community.

Between 1980 and 2000 it produced nearly 300 books.

Its output spanned fiction and poetry, art and photography, scholarly and practical, memoirs and guidebooks.

It made a lasting contribution to gay culture.”

Tiny publishers that did a little bit of everything were the norm.

Could you talk a bit more about what you know with which indie publishers specialize in certain genres? (I don’t really have any interest in publishing myself, more looking for new books.)

--

What kind of books, nonnie?

Indie publishers spring up all the time. They specialize in just about everything.

Back when I was a babyqueer in the 90s, most of my nonfiction book collection came from Cleiss Press, publishers of sexology, erotica, and queer books.

New age and neopagan woo often comes from Llewellyn Worldwide.

If you mean queer speculative fiction, many of my faves are self published, and a lot of the "press" names are just their name for their own business.

Blind Eye Books is a venerable example of a small press that has actually made it into the modern day publishing queer specfic. Their success seems to be due to a combo of consistently high quality product from a small stable of regulars and not overextending themselves.

But when I look for books, I just go on amazon, put in a bunch of search terms like werewolf+gay+FBI, and see what turns up.

The lack of a central index of BL and yuri-ish titles is a real pain in the ass, frankly.
