Lout of the Count's Family Zine - Sample #2: Lost in a Child's Paradise

Hope everyone's doing well! This post is to promote a pay-what-you-want charity zine related to Team One from the webnovel/manhwa Lout of the Count's Family I had the pleasure to write some pieces for. Please check it out!

“Team Leader! You can’t just run off like that!” said a panicked company worker. Roksu ignored him, storming off from the meeting room he just came from, his pursed lips and crossed brows showing his great ire.

The worker, apprehensive of what the heads of the company would say, tried to chase after Roksu, widening his steps for a chance to catch up, but to no avail.

“Too bad. Tell the higher-ups that today is my day off. If they don’t let me have it properly, I’ll quit,” said Roksu as he walked out of the organization’s building, his long tan coat flowing behind him.

He couldn’t believe he was called in for an “urgent task” that could’ve been easily handled by any other team at a lower level than his own. It was his day off, for goodness sake! He was supposed to be picking up his niece from daycare, not dilly-dallying with any sort of menial task, especially on this important day.

Once he reached his company building’s parking lot, Roksu got into his car, closed the driver’s door with a loud SLAM, and secured his seat belt. His phone connected to the Blacktooth speaker of the car, starting to blast an old movie soundtrack he found in the MeTube playlist of the original Kim Roksu. 

Although the music somewhat calmed him, Roksu was still annoyed by the earlier encounter with the company worker, so he aggressively drove out of the lot, his brows furrowed and his grip on the wheel tight.

While driving to the daycare, he received a call from Sohoon.

“Team Leader, did you just leave the building?”

Roksu groaned. He knew that concerned tone meant Sohoon was going to nag at him for being rude to that random worker. So, he used his secret weapon.

“Please, dongsaeng-ah. I’m kind of busy at the moment. Can I call you back later?”

There was a long pause on the call before Roksu heard a flustered huff from Suhyeok’s end.

“Heh heh… d-dongsaeng?… Jeez, Team Leader. You… Seriously, you have to tell me more about this later, okay? Minah sunbae is also gone... Why am I the only one working today? :(”

“Thanks, dongsaeng-ah. See you later,” replied Roksu, smiling amusedly at his subordinate’s whining.

With another huff, Sohoon ended the call.

Even though that short call lifted Roksu’s spirits a little because he got to tease Sohoon, Roksu was still a little bitter and quietly complained to himself about how he was going to be late as he drove faster to his destination.

Eventually, a one-story pale yellow building came into Roksu’s view. In the space in front of the building was a large yard with patches of grass surrounded by a painted white fence. From the yard, high-pitched shrieks of laughter were heard as little children were playing games like soccer and hopscotch. Outside the gate, other guardians were also picking up their children, walking hand in hand with them to get to their cars and go home or another destination.

Roksu double-checked his bag to make sure that he brought his wallet and ID. Having one annoying inconvenience was enough for the day. He didn’t want another problem at the daycare with some random daycare worker thinking he was a threat or kidnapper. It wasn’t his fault that his dark clothes and height made him look scary to the children. Though, that was a story for another day.

After parking safely in front of the daycare, Roksu slowly got out of the car.

“Uncle Roksu!!” shouted an excited high-pitched voice.

Beware: A PSA

It's come to our attention that several small presses, including Archive of the Odd, have shown up on a pirating site. 🏴‍☠️

As cool as pirates sound, we've also noticed that the file that the site claims is Cat Voleur's REVENGE ARC is much too small to be the actual novella. It's almost definitely a virus.

Here at Archive of The Odd, it's important to us to keep our readers safe from viruses, curses, and memetic hazards alike. That's why REVENGE ARC is now pay-what-you-want on itch.io. If you previously couldn't download our fantastic novella because of the price, please just get it for however much you'd like to spend, without the risk to your computer or phone.

urge to talk about what i'm doing vs the fact it won't be relevant for probably another year :l

[drawnecromancy]

Hm, hm. I'm still thinking about that Hélianthe and Basil short story. I really need to finish those illustrations.

[prawnlegs]

A few years ago I did some art for this free/pwyw zine about advocating against fatphobic treatment in medical and social settings, and now there's an updated edition! Written by Samantha Puc.

Lout of the Count's Family Zine - Sample #1: French… Toast?

Hope everyone's doing well! This post is to promote a pay-what-you-want charity zine related to Team One from the webnovel/manhwa Lout of the Count's Family I had the pleasure to write some pieces for. Please check it out!

Sunlight filters through translucent white curtains, landing softly on the features of Kim Roksu as he snores softly under his fluffy white duvet. As the rays of light scatter over his face, Roksu’s eyes twitch and he groans as the light gets brighter. After tossing and turning around in the bed, Roksu begrudgingly gets up, taking a long stretch while letting out a loud yawn. As much as he didn’t want it, all the years of fighting had trained him to wake at the slightest light or sound.

“Damn… I wanted to slack off today too…” he grumbles, slowly getting out of bed to get ready for the day.

It is a rare “day off” for him. Monsters have not attacked for a couple of days, so although everyone is still on high alert, some people have decided to take some time to rest and recover. This includes taking inventory of available supplies and rebuilding the shelters.

Today, Roksu was planning on sleeping the day away, maybe eating something later, but the sun urges him to be awake and to DO something. So, he heads down the stairs of his house towards the kitchen.

It has been several days since Roksu, Jeongsu, and Suhyeok purchased this house in a partially remote area. The property is a two-story house with a small garden (“But someday it’ll be a big orchard!” said Jeongsu) and some additional unused land. It’s close enough to get to the other shelters quickly, but far enough from where normal citizens live so the three won’t be disturbed often.

Upon entering the kitchen and dining area, Roksu deadpans at the sight in front of him. Just like him, Jeongsu and Suhyeok are wide awake and chattering quietly about what they should have for breakfast. Hearing Roksu’s shuffling, Jeongsu stops talking and turns to look at Roksu.

“Oh, you’re awake! Finally, we were about to come upstairs and ask if you could make us something.”

“Why me?” grumbles Roksu even though he proceeds to go into the kitchen to grab and put on a pink frilly apron (a gift from Suhyeok) from the long cabinet next to the kitchen sink.

“Well, you do cook the best meals out of the three of us,” says Suhyeok playfully. 

“Oh, but we were wondering if you could make us something other than Korean food this time?” asks Jeongsu. “I watched some mukbang videos last night and someone was eating French toast with fruit and some sunny-side-up eggs, so I woke up craving some today,” he says as he gets up to grab some orange juice from the fridge.

“...Fine,” sighs Roksu, and he gets to work.

Jeongsu and Suhyeok marvel at how Roksu handles the eggs as Roksu quickly mixes them together. He then quickly slices thick cuts of bread, dipping the slices into the egg mixture before setting them aside on a plate next to the cutting board. 

Thinking that he is going to cook well, Jeongsu and Suhyeok stop paying attention to Roksu and continue talking about plans to add fruit trees and vegetables to their garden.

All is peaceful, until suddenly Suhyeok stops mid-conversation at the smell of something… burning???

EPHEMERA ZINE

A zine inspired by I Spy books and maximalism. I'm passionate about collecting toys, so I spent a while photographing and editing the majority of my collection together into this zine <3 A taxing little project but I learned a lot from it and would love to update / remake it eventually and include the stuff I left out. Priced a little higher than usual because it took so long ect, but I have multiple pwyw zines and cheaper zines on my page if you want to look around in general <3

And while ur here, here's a collection of free and pwyw posters / zine bundles around Palestine that you should also check out and support HERE . They're also featured on my itch.io profile individually.

[Charity Announcement]

We’re happy to announce that 100% of zine proceeds will be going to Care For Gaza! This grassroots non-profit organization has been working tirelessly to provide basic necessities to Palestinian families in need. It’s our honor to support their work!

As announced earlier, once this zine is available for digital purchase, it’ll operate on a pay what you want (PWYW) system. All the proceeds will be collected and sent to Care For Gaza together!

[violetvulpini]

My contribution to the B-Team zine!! It's pwyw, and 100% of profits will be donated to CARE, a humanitarian organization that does work in Palestine/Gaza. Still available until Aug 15th, check it out!

Flamekeeper: A c!Niki Fanzine

We are SO happy to bring you an announcement you have all been waiting ever so patiently for:

THE ZINE HAS BEEN RELEASED ON ITCH.IO

It is free to download and will remain as such forever. Due to a change of plans, we will no longer be handling money through a PWYW system, and instead encourage you to donate yourselves.

Thank you to everyone, both contributors and c!Niki fans everywhere, for making this zine possible. We would never have been able to create such an amazing zine without love and support from the community & the amazing skills of our artists and writers.

We hope you enjoy the work and love that's been poured into this project ♡
