I'm meeting jodie and mandip at a convention next week! Will definitely be taking the tote bag with me :)

Omg, that’s amazing! They’ve both now got copies of the zine, so hopefully they recognise it when they see it!

Love in Full Bloom - Preorders open now!

I am so excited and thrilled to be a writer for @aerti-zakkurazine Love in Full Bloom, an Aerti and Zakkura charity fanzine! Preorders are open now, and proceeds will go to the Trevor Project!

Preorder yours now - and check out all the adorable goodies you can get, too!

does the milgram team allow fan projects like zines?

It’s a nonprofit for-charity zine, so it’s in the end no different than making a big collection of fanart! I’d assume it’d fall under the laws that allow dojinshis in Japan, but again, it’s non profit and outside Japan!

Questions can be directed @milgramcf too!

hi loch !! i have SUCH a random ask for you. i believe you moderated the Law And Order: A Symmarah Fanzine. i wondered if there was any way to buy the PDF nowadays?

Yup, that was one of my last fanzine projects before COVID hit lol

Unfortunately, due to the nature of for-profit fanzines and payment details for the contributors changing in the years since, I'm unable to offer the fanzine for sale in any form. The art and fanfics were all uploaded online, so I encourage you and other Symmarah fans to check it all out <3

Una polilla haciendo nada, 2024, fanzine de fotos y capturas con insertos de un libro de contabilidad. Aprovecho que cuelgo esto para agradecer a toda la gente del @gutterfest por organizar increible antigutter. A @edidionesdelpubis por ser el mejor colectivo vecino. A Tatiana Antoni por animarse al Derroche. Y a todo el mundo que se paso por ahí porque estuvo bien guapo ¡Muchas gracias! También avisar que este miércoles hacemos una improvisación con Piece of quiet (donde quizás leeré esto y otras cosas) en Gracia Territori Sonor. Aquí la info detallada (también en storis): Miércoles 22 de mayo a las 20h en la Calle Igualada 10 (Gràcia, Barcelona).

Eso es todo por hoy, gracias, ¡Abrazo!

FAQ - great questions, keep asking!

Q: What kind of content are we looking for?

A: Answer here!

Quick content info: SFW (PG-PG13) zine focused on Zack Fair. Please read the full content info post here.

~~~~

Q: What are the expectations for contributers (writers/artists)?

A: Creators will be making a brand-new piece(s) for the zine, based on what they think they will realistically be able to complete for the project deadlines (TBD, keep in mind the publishing date is est. early 2025 but can absolutely change). There are no prompts and there is no theme other than Zack Fair. A discord will be created (and staff are always here via asks) to help each other come up with ideas and encourage one another's projects!

In addition, one person may submit up to 4 contributions for the zine, in the form of mix-and-match or the same grouping. I.e. 4 pieces of art, 4 fics, or 2 pieces of art and 2 short-form pieces of writing, etc. These details can be ironed out on an individual basis, and not all pieces may appear in a physical zine.

Finally, pieces for this zine are expected to be kept hidden from public view until the zine is finalized (a.k.a. not posted on any social media or Ao3 except for teasers/ads for the zine, details TBD [do not post any ads on Ao3 they do not allow that]).

~~~~

Q: Are there going to be length limitations?

A: For the digital zine, no, outside of fics being limited to one-shots. If a physical zine gets designed, then those one-shots will be limited to a certain page number TBD.

~~~~

Q: Will proceeds go to charity if this becomes a purchase-only zine?

A: Yes! First, it has to be determined if this is will be a purchased item or not. If it does, then we will pick a charity.

~~~~

Q: Do I get any perks as a contributor?

A: A free digital zine, even if the final edition ends up being purchase-only. Any merch is TBD (we will have to see if funds are available to buy all contributors a copy of a physical zine, if it gets produced).

~~~~

Q: Who is leading the project?

A: So far, just @sherlockwolf. Feel free to browse their tumblr and AO3 (same username) to get a feel for how they interact with FF7!

~~~~

Q: Will the discord have mods?

A: Yes! Once it is set up, there will be a mod application process for 2 additional mods. Details about the discord will be sent out later on to those who are accepted onto the project at the end of September.

~~~~

Q: Are collabs between writers and artists allowed?

A: Absolutely! There is a section in the discord server for this and those collabs will have to be communicated between the involved writer, artist, and project lead.

Realised I never posted the insta promo graphic they made me for KC Zine Con 8

promo graphic from KC Zine Con insta for my virtual table on the website for KC Zine Con 8 - has an image of a dymo label maker (the modern type that looks a bit like an alien from Alien) and some dymo label text strips sitting on a collage of Dennis Wilson, plus the text "Jenna Appleseed Thoughts Of You Fanzine Thoughts Of You, a digital charity fanzine about Beach Boy Dennis Wilson. all profits go to a homelessness charity. 2 issues ft unofficial t-shirts & unusual merch, Dennis as the true surfer of the beach boys, archive interviews, coverage of virtual zinefests (inc KC Zine Con 6 & 7), odd vinyl cover art, thoughts on what Dennis & some of his songs mean to me & fans, cartoons, & dennis' support & connection with homeless people. cw: contains brief mentions of abuse & mental illness. KCZC Virtual Tabler" in all caps on a green background.

it bums me out to see (esp younger) artists talking abt quitting in the wake of this dumb ai shit or worrying that there will be no place in the world for their art in the future... i know it's hard but u HAVE to trust other humans to care abt art. u have to trust ppl to give a shit

i've spent the past few weeks near-constantly simmering abt this shit but then i spent literally one weekend seeing the artist/fanzine alley at a convention + going to a screenprinting fair and my soul is healed tbh. u have to zoom out. ppl have always given a shit and they always will

it's one thing to have the courage to make art. it's another to have the courage to trust other ppl to respond when u are vulnerable enough to share it. i know that most of the time the latter is way harder, bc it's not rly in ur control. but u have to!! sorry!! or uve already lost

u have to have a high enough opinion of humanity as a species to recognize that we love creating art + we love experiencing art + we always have + we always will. it's mandatory. scream abt it if u want but after ur done screaming u have 2 go back to the hard work of loving the world
