A Simple Kind of Longing

A simple kind of longing by LifeOfMystery

UA was hosting a remembrance event to celebrate all of their now-graduated students achievements during the War. Five years had passed since then, and their students had grown to become full fledged pro heroes in their own right. Still, the country had not forgotten the work those students had put in when the country was in it's most dire situation in years, and this event was meant to give back to those who had given their all.

Shouto would have loved to go, but unfortunately, it wasn't looking likely.

Shouto had… another obligation.

Touya.

CALLING BNHA FANDOM CREATORS!

Do you like BNHA? Do you like the canon students and alumni of UA? Do you want to create content for an AU in which the villains were students at UA instead of the canon hero class? WOULD YOU LIKE TO CREATE CONTENT FOR ANY OF THESE CHARACTERS IN ANY OF THESE SCENARIOS SET IN A FUTURE AFTER 1-A AND 1-B’S GRADUATION? If so, boy, have we got an opportunity for you!

CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE UA ALUMNI REUNION ZINE!

The UA Alumni Reunion is a SFW fanzine project celebrating the future of the BNHA series’ cast after their graduation! This digital zine is intended to show a love of the characters and their alma mater — or a scathing critique of it, if you prefer. (This zine is VERY villain-friendly!) We welcome fanart, fan comics, and writing submissions!

CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE ZINE, ZINE LEADERSHIP, AND SUBMISSIONS INSTRUCTIONS!

Or read the highlights of these topics under the cut!

Zine Leadership

This zine is organized by @siflshonen​ and @flawney​. This is our first fandom zine together, but it isn’t our first fandom event together. We’ve organized two fic swaps for the MP100 fandom in the past. You can read more about us in the information document. Sifl is the main point of contact for writers and Flawney is the main point of contact for artists, though our duties overlap.

Zine Concept

This zine is focused on a glimpse of the future for the canon students, residents, and alumni (or those that could have been alumni in another life) of BNHA’s UA high school. As such, the focus for these pieces should be on the canon characters rather than OCs. We bring this up for two specific reasons:

Our goal is to celebrate BNHA’s characters. While the “alumni in the future” theme does alter them somewhat, we feel that focusing on OCs is just a little too far from the core concept of the BNHA series we all love so well.

For the purposes of this zine, we discourage “fanchildren-centric” subjects or scenarios where every character (the emphasis here is on this happening to EVERY character) is in a heterosexual marriage and saddled with children as they are at the end of other big shonen such as, say, Bleach or Naruto. If you aren’t sure what that means or need clarification, please see our FAQ section in this document or ask Leadership directly for more information. However, don’t let this detail discourage you from including ships! Ships of all stripes are allowed! If it’s SFW and focused on canon characters, ships are completely acceptable!

Schedule and Important Dates

Call for submissions opens: 2/25/22 (opened early ‘cause Leadership is ahead!)

Call for submissions closes: 3/25/22

Zine contributors accepted and notified: 4/9/22

Check-in 1: 4/22/22

Check-in 2: 5/13/22

Check-in 3: 6/17/22

Final submissions due: 7/1/22

Completed zine available: 8/6/22

Zine Distribution and Specifications

This zine will be digital only. As this is Leadership’s first fandom zine (and the team is small!) we feel this is the best and most consistent way to ensure all works are displayed to a high level of quality and easily accessible to all. (Shipping and production right now is kind of a nightmare, y’all.) Also, digital distribution means the final zine will be free!

Since exclusivity isn’t a draw and we aren’t creating this zine to raise money for charity or otherwise, we will also provide contributors the option to post their own submissions on their blogs/sites/Ao3 accounts after the zine is completed. (Creators can also tag this Tumblr on their pertinent posts to get them reblogged after the zine is complete!) On the flipside, by participating in this zine, you indicate that you as a contributor may not distribute this zine project for personal profits. (However, you can totally list it on your resume or CV as an anthology/collection in which your work is featured. If you feel it is appropriate to link to the zine on a portfolio site, you can do that, too. Just don’t take credit for submissions that are not yours, don’t put it behind a paywall, and don’t link your ko-fi/kickstarter/paypal/cashapp in the same space, and you’re good!)

There’s several more paragraphs on this topic in the information document, so we highly recommend you give it a read.

Applications

Applicants must provide a portfolio that best demonstrates what they intend to create for this project. This portfolio doesn’t have to be fancy! Acceptable portfolio submissions can include: a blog/social media page primarily featuring (easy-to-find SFW) art, a Google Drive link with relevant example work, sample Ao3 or fanfiction.net page links, or a personal website link. Remember: the key for submitting examples is clarity and accessibility. Please ensure that the links/folders/etc are functioning and that leadership has access to view the files. Any applications with work that cannot easily be accessed will be rejected. Please do not include NSFW works in your portfolio. This zine will also NOT INCLUDE: any content that has to do with rape, incest, gore (like, gratuitous gore. Some blood, cuts, and bruises are fine), homophobia, racism, pedophilia, etc. If you have questions, please discuss it with leadership for approval and clarification.

Applicants may apply for multiple roles, but ultimately will only be accepted for one position. However, should the need arise for more artists/writers as the project progresses, there may be some flexibility if contributors are willing to create more pieces.

Again: there’s more detail on this topic in the information document.

But if you’re ready to apply, CLICK HERE FOR THE SUBMISSIONS PAGE!

FAQs

Question: Is there an age requirement for submission participants?

Answer: No. All ages are welcome!

Question: Can my submission be traditional art?

Answer: Sure, so long as you can scan/clean/edit it to display cleanly and nicely in a digital space.

Question: What if I want to create content that doesn’t necessarily center around the UA student characters or Alumni but still involves UA? For example, what if I wanted to create content of an AU where the villains were UA students? 

Answer: PITCH IT! INCLUDE IT AS A PITCH! We are open to more abstract takes on this concept!

Question: Okay, I understand you discourage fanchildren. But what about Eri? What if I want to do something cute with Aizawa/whoever-I-ship-him-with and Eri as a family? Or Mirio/whoever-I-ship-him-with and Eri doing something cute?

Answer: ERI IS A CANON CHARACTER AND A RESIDENT OF UA! This is allowed! Yes! Pitch it!

Question: What if I just wanna do a (SFW) pin-up of an adult Shinso (or whichever UA alum tickles your fancy) lookin’ hot and cool?

Answer: Totally. Pitch it. Keep it SFW and it’s a valid concept for this zine.

Question: I still have a question that isn’t addressed on this form.

Answer: Cool. To read a longer list of more detailed FAQs, check out the information document! If your question still isn’t answered, contact Leadership.
