Spring Oc Festival Zine Applications

"I told you!" - nagged Konan as she tried her best to not step on her yukata.

It was that time of the year again, the one full of sneezes, flowers and small petals floating in the air. With it many were those who came and gathered at the parks to enjoy the breeze, the company and admire what nature had to show them. At least he remembered to bring the food. "Listen you two," their laughs charmed him, "For once I remembered to come dressed appropriately, isn't that enough?"

They laugh as their view started to get flooded with different people. Some of them they have seen many times, some were new, but all of them were called by the same thing: The beauty of Spring.

Here's the project I've been cooking with some friends! With input from the people on the discord (link in the google form)

This is a Naruto OC x Canon oriented Zine, the signups are open until mid December.

Main mod: @naruto-ocs-love / @succikko-draws

Both OCxCanon Bibles for XAero and VenSabi, since I dunno if I want to put them up on itch or not- although just here is probably fine. With the current pic open, right click and open in new tab to see the full sized image.

I might do a poll for the other CanonxOC couples I have if these do well enough. :p

If you're not familiar with how to fold a mini zine like these, here's a quick tutorial that I reblogged not long ago: here

Updates!

Hello everyone!! Our carrd and schedule has been updated! Please make sure to check it all out! https://scarletroseszine.carrd.co

Hi there! I notice in your FAQ, avatar characters are not permitted because they’re still considered canon. I was wondering if this is still the case with player characters in games like FFXIV & Dragon Age or Tavs in Baldur’s Gate, since those tend to be more customized/individual but could still be considered canon-adjacent? Thanks in advance for your help!! I’m really looking forward to this project 💛💛

Hey, thanks for reaching out!

Tavs and DA protagonists will be fine due to how customizable they are and you can build their stories, hence an OC.

Looking into the information I have with the players of FFXIV, they do fall into the avatar category so we will be not be including them. Durges will be a no since they are an established canon character in the Baldurs' Gate series.

We hope that makes sense.

Kind think I might want to make a digital zine? Either FusionFall ships or FuFa Acercup. I just don’t know anything about organizing people, being in charge, or like where to host said zine so people can look at or purchase it 😫

[milkymosaic]

It's a day of double-milky goodness! 😆 Excited to say that I have a Guilty Gear fic in this free zine that's out today!

When Tor and Leo end up in a debate over whether matcha or coffee is the best fuel for pulling an all-nighter, the only way either of them knows how to settle it is with a little friendly competition! Whoever does a better job at getting all their work done in one caffeine-chugging night before an important meeting will be declared correct. Sleep is for the weak!

Grab yourself a cup of whatever puts a pep in your step and check out "Guilty Gear: XL Boost" along with many other amazing works of art, poetry, and fiction. ☕️💖🍵

☕️ Brew yourself a cup of happiness and enjoy Caffeine Rush today.

Astorvember 2024 — Day 30: The Future of Hyrule (Post-Calamity)

And it seems this years Astorvember has come to an end. While in the end I did nothing for the final week, I had to make something for the last day.

And since this prompt is post-calamity, gaze upon my post-calamity boy again.

Like I said, the AU started backwards, from this part, because I used to imagine what it would be like if Astor was playable and then that turned into how he would interract with the main gang.

And I gave him some friends :3

The stallhorse is his childhood dead horse, which he was reunited with during the calamity.

The evil egg was fixed up by Robbie later on (as he and Purah did his arm too anyways) and lost all the malice inside of it. So it’s just a weird robot dog thing with sass.

The cat is a senior stray he found that he got so terribly upset at how beaten down it was that he decided to take care of it.

And the possum is just there because Astor got compared to rats and possums all these 4 years. Originally he did have rats but things changed along the way and now it’s a possum. This one is just for me, in honor of the old joke.

———

This is just off topic but,

I’m really happy with this year’s Astorvember. I had lost motivation for art a bit before november so I’m really happy with how consistent I was, even if in the final days I didn’t do anything. I also got back to my sketchbook thanks to this so yay.

I only wish I had more time to really render in stuff and maybe make more prompts.

But also!!! I really, really loved seeing everyone’s contribution and headcanons!! All of the art and writing was gorgeous and great <3

And I’m glad that towards the end we all sorta went down the oc x canon route. Selfshippers/yumeshippers stay winning!!!

I love this tiny fandom alot and I’m grateful that it’s still going and I’m grateful for all the old and new people still here <3 And that we’re making a zine wooo thank you emo for the extended deadline🙏🙏

Terms of Participation and Creation Guidelines

Terms of Participation

To participate as a contributor in this zine, every creator must:

Have an email for correspondence (Discord is preferred for quick and group communication but is optional).

Reply to check-in emails in a timely manner. We want to make sure everything is running smoothly and everyone will meet deadlines. If something happens and you are unable to meet a deadline you must notify a moderator as soon as possible.

Follow the Creation Guidelines (listed below) for their piece.

If you choose to join the Discord server, you must follow the rules of the server (listed in the #rules channel, but generally: be courteous and play nice with others).

Agree to not post any w.i.p’s, snippets, previews, or finished pieces until it is time to do so, as mentioned on the Timeline. Moderators will announce when it is time.

Creation Guidelines

All pieces should be centered around a relationship of the artist’s/author’s choosing, featuring any of the characters from the Trolls movies, specials, and/or shows. Examples of relationships include, but are not limited to: romantic love/ships, family, friendships, frienemies, found-family, and pet/creature companions.

The zine will be kept PG, so be mindful especially if you choose a romantic relationship.

Original characters (oc’s) are allowed, but we encourage creators to focus their pieces on canon characters. Oc’s are best for background extras (such as in a big group shot), side characters, and icons for the credits page. We understand that not everybody will be familiar with every oc, and we don’t want the material to be too confusing.

Canvas size for all artists will be 2400px x 2400px, or 8in x 8in. The final format of the zine will be styled like a scrapbook, hence the square shape.

For all digital artists, it is recommended to work in RGB color, set your canvas to a minimum 300dpi, and saved as .PNG instead of .JPG/.JPEG when finished for best quality.

Word count for fanfics will be between 1500 and 5000 words. This is a flexible limit, which means it’s fine if you go a little over or a little under, but please keep to the word count as close as you can manage.

All pieces must be edited and/or polished before final submission. This means we expect final pieces to be reviewed for errors, fics are edited, and artworks are colored and/or lined cleanly (depending on the artists’ personal style). We want our creators to be proud of what they submit!

FAQ

Updated: Dec 13, 2024

What is this zine about?

This is a fanzine that is a celebration of Until Dawn's 10th Anniversary on August 25th, 2025. This is a general themed zine with more focus on canon. We are looking at having art (digital and traditional) and short fanfiction represented in the zine.

Who is running the zine?

Mod Zadra and Mod Theo, our meet the mod posts are here!

Will this be a physical or digital only zine?

This will be a physical zine with physical merch! We will have a digital zine and digital merch as well.

What kind of merch will be available for the zine?

We are hoping to have a phone wallpaper and desktop wallpaper as digital merch, and then 2-3 stickers, a double sided bookmark, and a small postcard sized print as physical merch! This will be somewhat dependent on our artists and who is willing and able to contribute to the merch.

What is and is not allowed in zine pieces?

Allowed:

-Gore

-Some non-canon elements (such as non-canon ships)

Not allowed:

-Explicit 18+, nsfw content

-Use of the name of the creature from the game

-OCs and/or Crossovers with other media

What is the expectation for contributors?

Contributors are expected to communicate via email or discord, they will create one complete piece to go in the book or act as merch in 3 months time from when they are accepted into the zine. Exact details and specifications needed for their piece along with templates will be sent via their acceptance email

Page Artists: Create one, 6 x 9" (1875 x 2775 px) portrait oriented piece to go in the book Writers: Write a one-shot fic between 1 - 3k words to go in the book

Merch Artists: Create at least one piece of any merch listed below:

-Phone Wallpaper, 1080 x 1920 px

-Desktop Wallpaper, 2560 x 1440 px

-Sticker design of any size so long as it fits between 1" x 1" to 3" x 3" (300 x 300 px to 900 x 900 px)

-Postcard print design, 4" x 6" (1200 x 1800 px)

-Double sided Bookmark design, 1.5" x 7" (450 x 2100 px), for each side

How much will the zine cost?

At the moment we're not certain, it will depend on the number of applicants we get and how big the actual book will be (a bigger book with more pages costs more to print). We will know for certain once we know our number of contributors and what they'll be making, likely one month from when acceptance emails are sent out. From our manufacturer and budget estimations, a physical zine with physical merch (the most expensive option) will not exceed $20 USD not including shipping

Where will our money be going?

The cost of the zine will go to cover printing the physical book and merch items, as well as shipping them out to you. This is a non-profit zine and any profits we earn will be going to NiGiNan Housing Ventures as a charity donation!

You can learn more about them on their website or their instagram

How can we contact you?

You may either send an ask to this blog or send an email to untildawn10thanniversaryzine@gmail.com, any questions we have received will be tagged as q&a
