Upcoming Collection of Trans* Fannibal Experiences

Name TBC Submissions 1st - 31st January 2023 *Trans in this instance is used as an umbrella term to include transgender, non-binary, genderqueer and otherwise non-cis people.  We have not sought to exclude intersex people in this definition, however not all intersex people identify as trans* and those who do are included under the above umbrella.

For TransHanniDay 2023 (8th April) we will be publishing a collection of essays, creative nonfiction, personal accounts and art about being non-cis in the Hannibal Fandom. 

The show has resonated with many queer fans, and we know that being in the Hannibal, Hannigram and Hannibal Extended Universe fandom, and the support of Fannibals has been part of many people's gender identity journeys. We want to capture that in a fandom led volume of non-fiction, featuring essays, creative nonfiction, personal accounts and art. If you are interested in contributing please read on!

How to submit: From 1st to 31st January Submit via google form HERE  

Who should submit: Please ONLY SUBMIT IF:

you are aged 18 or over. For the sake of legalities, we are only accepting submissions from those legally considered adults in the region of publication - UK.

you are transgender, non-binary, genderqueer or otherwise non-cis. 

What to submit:

Essays

Creative nonfiction

Personal account

Art

If you’d like to submit something else, please DM us on tumblr or twitter to discuss One submission per person with the following exception - you may submit art and one form of writing. 

Theme:  Via one of the above mediums, we want you to share with us in as much or little detail as you’d like, your journey as a non-cis Fannibal in the Hannibal fandom, and/or the impact NBCs Hannibal has had on your gender journey. 

A few points for consideration you may wish to explore: 

Has the show and/or being part of the fandom helped you explore your gender, or made you feel more confident in expressing it - even if only online. 

Has the fandom helped you with your transition and/or medical needs, such as donating for trans-clothing or surgeries? 

Do you want to write an essay exploring the connection between NBCs Hannibal and non-cis fans? Or perhaps one arguing that Will Graham is trans-coded?

Do you want to submit art of Hannibal, Will or another character that expresses how you feel about your own gender identity?

PLEASE NOTE: if your submission is successful you are welcome to use your real name or an online handle for authorship, but you will have the option to publish anonymously or under a pseudonym if you would prefer. 

Word counts:  Minimum of 100 words Maximum of 5000 words  We would prefer to keep the word count around 3000, but understand that essays for example may go up to 5000 words, which is our maximum limit. 

Art submissions must come with a summary of your experience and/or what you are expressing in the art, this need not be more than a few sentences. 

Compensation: As a fan-led project we do not have any funding and so cannot offer monetary compensation. However, all contributors will receive at the least an e-copy of the collection. We are hoping that we will be able to send each contributor a print copy as well, but will not be able to confirm until further in the process. 

If we are able to make print copies available these will either by not for profit or the resultant proceeds will be donated to appropriate charities.

Content Restrictions: 

Contributors must be transgender, non-binary, genderqueer or otherwise non-cis 

Contributions must relate to NBCs Hannibal and/or the fandom

The contribution must be original. Previously published works may be considered, please query us via Tumblr or Twitter

Explicit works not permitted, including the art, though non-explicit nudity is fine

It should go without saying, but we will not accept bigotry and hate speech: We may consider works that feature these things but do not glorify them. For example, we will consider works that discuss transphobia but not works that are transphobic.

No fiction: this will be a collection of personal accounts in one form or another. We encourage biographical creative nonfiction but no fictional stories featuring Hannibal or other characters. Art exception: we welcome trans Hannigram, or other Hannibal characters art submissions as we know this is also an expression by artists of their own identity and how they relate it to the show/fandom, just as writing is to writers.

Will there be automatic acceptances? As this is all about personal experiences and not fiction, we’re not going to be looking at it in the same way as other fanthologies might. That said, there won’t be any automatic acceptances, we will have to have a limit depending on the number of submissions. 

It is likely that all accepted pieces will be lightly edited for readability, but there will be no changes to the essence of the works. 

Anticipated Timeline: This is subject to some change. January 1st - 31st: Submissions February 1st - 15th: Reading period February 15th - 20th: Final selection contributors will be notified February through March: Editing and formatting March 25th - 31st: Promo April 8th: Publication

FAQ

What is Trans Hannigram Day? Trans Hannigram Day or TransHanniDay is a day of celebration for trans* fanworks and creators in the Hannibal, Hannigram and Hannibal Extended Universe fandom. On this day old and new fanworks are shared with the intention of filling the timeline with trans* love!

Originally this event was Transcendence Fest, first held in December 2020. The first TransHanniDay was held on 8th April in 2022 in reaction to the release of a certain movie on that day.

Will this collection only be focused on Hannigram? Technically the focus is on the fans, but we know the influence of NBCs Hannibal and the fandom itself goes beyond Hannigram. Both in written works and in art, other characters are accepted including those from NBCs Hannibal and those from other Mads and Hugh projects (Hannibal Extended Universe). 

For example, if Bedelia De Maurier or Adam Raki resonated with you as part of your gender journey, we’d love to hear about it. 

How can I prove I’m Trans*? We aren't expecting you to and in no way expect you to out yourself either online or in real life. We will take on trust that you are who and what you say you are, including if you are questioning, between labels or do not like to use labels. 

As noted above, those who would feel more comfortable doing so, can have their work published under a pseudonym or anonymously. 

Who is publishing this collection? This collection will be edited and published by Max Turner. Max is a gay transgender writer based in the UK, a Fannibal and the publisher of online publication A Coup of Owls.  This publication will not be associated with A Coup of Owls, but will receive some promotion.
