Hello! This is an interest check for a possible The Karate Kid/Cobra Kai fan zine focused on your favorite characters of the franchise!

Here’s what we are thinking the zine would contain, loosely: Poems, One shots (~2k words), Illustrations, Comics (max. 2 pages)

You can collaborate with others to have an accompanying artwork to your written content or write for an illustration.

You can submit your own writing (illustrated or not)

You can submit your own piece of art

We won’t be accepting any works with NSFW content, character bashing, or explicit shipping (there’s a plan for a second zine focused on it, so hang in there!)

We would like this zine to be posted on Gumroad, downloadable with voluntary donations, which we would forward to a charity chosen by the participants.

This is what we have in mind so far, so before we get the ball rolling, we want to do an interest check to help our planning process.

https://forms.gle/atgNxUufM5VxBGnU9

After we get sufficient responses, we will come up with a deadline and send out another form for people who are interested in submitting their work.

If you are interested in helping out as moderator/editor, please message either of us @underture or @justveeing. We are looking, preferably, for a person with previous experience in organizing a fanzine.

If you fill the form, or if you would just like to share it, we would be thankful for a reblog, so other people find out about it! Thank you!

Hey all, we’re so sorry for yet another delay in shipping! Mod Lor has been through a lot — a second round of COVID as well as an uncooperative post office. She’s gone to the post office with all the packaged orders, only to find that the post office in Mexico has a lot of hurdles of requirements to jump through. She will try another office soon, but we want you to know that all the packages are currently in their mailer!

It’s also not late to change your shipping address if it needs to be! Please fill this form if you need to modify your address.

Last week we posted this interest check here, and now we are launching our official socials to start the project properly!

🥋Reblogs to spread the word out are super appreciated!🐍

This is a The Karate Kid/Cobra Kai fanzine focused on your favorite characters of the franchise!

The zine will feature artists and writers, and some even have suggested to contribute with a recipe inspired by the show/movies. The sky is the limit for your creativity!

You can collaborate with others to have an accompanying artwork to your written content or write for an illustration. We will survey artists and writers interested in doing so.

Right now we are in the process of setting up the final touches, hoping we can get this to completion, up to a physical zine with merch bundles.

Here you can find the interest form to fill https://forms.gle/atgNxUufM5VxBGnU9

The interest check will be up until May 23rd. After that we will launch the official Contributor Application Form.

If you have already filled it, why not sharing it to reach more fans?

Current mods are: @underture, @justveeing and @tinymintywolf

You can write us to ask any possible questions! See you soon!

Here are the three different forms to apply to be part of this:

🎨Call for Artists Form

🖌️Call for Merch Artists Form If you are applying as both an artist and a writer, fill both forms and add a note on the last part of the form. If you are applying to do another type of creative work (ie. a recipe that could be illustrated) fill the writers form.

Hello, contributors and badass buyers! 👊

Here is your update on the production of the zine, which brings us closer to having our zines ready to pack and send out to you!

As of February 21st:

❤ All the merch has been ordered and now in production. This includes:

Stickers

Acrylic pin

Acrylic keychain

Character trading cards

Yes, you read that right! After consideration, we decided to greenlight the production of the character trading cards, which will be included in the purchase of the BADASS Bundle, BALANCE Bundle, and Merch Bundle.

💙 The zine is already finished and compiled with all the works formatted.

💜 Admin Lor is awaiting some details before printing the zine to help with the customs process, since it’s going to be printed in the US and shipped to Mexico. This change/setback was brought by new laws on imports and exports. We don’t wanna risk changes in rates/prices which could harm the Donation Pool. By February 28th, we will have decided on the best changes to finally print the zine as planned.

We will let you know of any other important update regarding production time and estimates!
