What could POSSIBLY have brought you to SUCH an ASSUMPTION angry face emoji

What prsk zines have you participated/know about?

there isnt many prsk zine unfortunately but the ones that i'm aware of that should be completed by now is that one general project sekai zine (called Untitled i think), a prsk travel zine, a prsk fashion zine (i bought this one), and a prsk vocaloid song zine (i also bought this one). The ones that are ongoing is an anhane zine that just closed applications as well as a ruitoya zine, a ruikasa zine thats finished preorders, an akitoya zine thats still has preorders open (BUY IT NOW!!), and an emukasa zine that just opened applications! the only one i participated in is the akitoya zine

Just for curiosity... You're gonna make a Bluesky account now that the app doesn't require an invitation anymore 👁️?

I'm contemplating cuz on one hand that's Twitter but it has an effort to moderate but on the other hand, the site being public will let in hundreds upon hundreds of the same twats that ruined Twitter for people long before Elon bought it

[maebird-melody]

Have I somehow managed to curate my dash such that I am constantly seeing applications open for new zines and there’s always been that many, or are we living through a zine renaissance?

keep forgetting to post my zine pieces

OH hey! Are you still thinking about selling sketches to raise funds towards housing flexibility?

I’m sure the blog flagging set you back in thinking about this, so no pressure, I’m just curious

Hi! Yes, I am, let me actually publish this because I've been meaning to do an update on that! Side note: thank you to the people who sent me some kofi tips when I first announced that, your kindness was very sweet and appreciated and it went straight into that savings fund. <3

Because I picked up an instructor position at the clay studio, that's going to (hopefully minimally) change my taxes for this 2023 fiscal year. So before I do start offering sketches I need to make an appointment with a tax person to go over all that and make sure I understand how that's all going to work before adding in extra freelance earnings. I wanted to get that done by now but there have been extra family things happening that are going to continue to happen through the year (nothing bad, just relocating my grandmother and since I'm one of the closest/time available grandchildren I've started getting pulled into that lmao). I will also be participating in the second @broadsandbroadswords zine which will take some of that time, but I enjoy these projects and my buddies running that zine are awesome and amazing and I want to help.

So earliest prediction I think would be April? End of March if I can get some other things squared away. I still would really like to do that, it's been a hot minute since I've gotten to do some commissions! I believe they would be bust or half-body sketches in black and white only in limited slots, so nothing terribly fancy but hopefully more accessible to a wider group of people looking for art. I'll be making noise about that when the time comes!

there should be a lady noire zine and i should be a special guest

[oh-gh0st]

now i miss my sonic ocs. i had so much fun....

[fintrafeatherfall]

momentary heart to heart

sorry for joining the mcsm fandom then disappearing for two weeks to cook up my first full on colored comic outside of zine work, the wither storm possessed me momentarily

IN ALL SERIOUSNESS THOUGH this was intended to be just a practice on my block-y/minecraft/chibi????? style thing???? and then I just went super hard on it for no reason, literally was not even intending to color it when I first thought this up LMFAO

ANYWAYS the concept here is that this is a sort of “missing scene” type deal, I’d like to think they stayed in Crown Mesa for a day or two to recover before going back through the portal after all the PAMA chaos. The added horror of PAMAs chipping doing physical damage besides just the chipping of their minds is a really interesting concept to me so there will definitely be more of that !!!! but there’d be some physical AND mental healing Lukas and Petra would need before heading off again me thinks. even if Petra is stubborn about receiving the help at first…

ALSO APOLOGIES IF ANY OF THE DIALOGUE IS OOC AT ALL? I’m not remotely a writer despite loving to make comics, dialogue is what I struggle with most, and I’ve been mostly writing dialogue between the same two characters for like. 4 years now so branching off into other wildly different personalities is gonna be a learning curve bear with me LMAO

ALSO HERES THE PANELS SEPARATED TOO!! I’m an instagram artist by heart so I always like. subconsciously layout my comics for instagrams shitass cropping LMFAO

HEY YOU!! YES YOU LEVI LIKER

if you like Leviathan Obey Me you should check out my darling friend Panda's upcoming Levi zine, @lvlup-levizine!! it'll be free and anyone of absolutely any skill level can join so you wont need to stress about being accepted and whatnot :D also it would probably make Panda very happy and thats a really good reason just by itself (but also you get to draw/write about Levi which is a nice bonus i guess)

MOTORSPORT HALLOWEEN FEST

👻 Celebrate the best (spookiest scariest sluttiest) holiday of the year — open to all motorsport RPF writers, artists, creators, and fans!

👹 ao3 collection

💀 join the discord

⬇️ INFO & FAQ

What kind of creative/artistic works are allowed?

Any and all! Fic, art, zines, moodboards, gifs, edits, playlists, meta — if it’s motorsport RPF and Halloween-themed, it’s welcome!

What counts as motorsport?

If one of your main characters can be tagged under a motorsport fandom (e.g. any of the Formulas, IndyCar, MotoGP, etc.), you’re good!

What counts as Halloween-related?

Halloween-related can mean full-blown horror (serial killer in the paddock!), spooky (haunted car?), or, if that’s not your vibe, about Halloween more generally (Halloween is the one day a year when a driver can dress up like a total slut 😏). We’re happy to have you whether you turn your favorite driver into a friendly ghost or put them in a Saw trap.

Please just be sure to warn/tag your work appropriately, and please archive lock your fic if you're posting to Ao3!

Do I have to post to Ao3?

No! If you’d prefer, you can also post on tumblr. Just be sure to tag us @motorsport-halloween so we don’t miss it!

How do prompts work?

Anyone can leave a prompt on Ao3, but you don’t have to claim a prompt to participate — you can do your own thing and then post to the Ao3 collection or to tumblr when it’s time!

When is my fic/art/other work due?

Sign-ups and prompting will open July 15 so everyone has plenty of time to create! Completed works will be posted October 15-31 — the mods will reach out to participants at the beginning of October to schedule posting, so that we can have two full Halloweeks of fun!

How do I post to the collection?

Instructions are here!

Can I invite my friend / mutual / discord server to participate?

Please feel free to invite anyone in the motorsport RPF fandom (as long as they are 18+!)

What if I realize I can’t finish/need more time?

That’s fine! No worries if you need to drop out or need an extension.

What if I’m still confused?

Send us an ask on tumblr @motorsport-halloween or DM one of the mods, @powerful-owl @racecrafting or @officialmood!

OTHER TIPS

The @motorsport-halloween tumblr will be posting prompts and Halloween vibes for inspiration! We won’t be posting anything wildly disturbing, but we will use the following tags to be on the safe side: tw: blood tw: body horror tw: trypophobia

If there’s something else you’d like us to tag (within reason) please send us an ask or DM one of the mods! We want everyone to be able to participate, no matter your comfort level with the more horror-y aspects of Halloween!

The Ao3 HTML script can be found here

If you’re posting to Ao3, make sure you change the date from the date of your draft to the date of publishing!

New Trolls Zine Interest Check

In light of finding put that there was a Trolls zine (I think about Broppy specifically?) circulating on Twitter/X, I’m beginning preparations for a new zine focused on folks here on Tumblr. I was disappointed to find out about it after their applications were closed and I wasn’t able to participate and I know I’m not alone. If you are in any way interested to see this zine get off the ground, please reblog so others don’t find out too late like I did!

I don’t have a name picked out yet but the theme I’m proposing is: relationships (i.e. family, friends, romance, even pets). I wanted a theme that could allow for characters and dynamics more than just romantic ships and would set it apart from the Broppy-centric zine currently running (but also could still include some Broppy, as its a main ship).

I am also looking for anyone interested in joining solely as a moderator, about 2-3 people preferably. As this is my first time running a zine, anybody with experience running a zine and/or working with the digital files would be a great help! You can mark on the survey that you’d like to be a mod or message me. If there is also enough interest from fanfic authors, we will need beta readers to apply later to help with editing.

Tagging people Ive seen who showed interest: @spooky-pop @v-poreons @potatoisvibing
