how is putting together the zine going?

It's going great!

The zine is almost complete. We have a few final tweaks in the works, but we should be on track for a January 25 2025 release!

Watch out for a more detailed/dedicated post about the release!

[zineobiology]

I see the post saying "next year" for release on this, but I can't see what date that was posted. Do you have an idea of generally when that'll be?

We are working hard to have it out in January 2025!

We will have an exact date soon

Every once in a while, I think to myself, "Wouldn't it be fun to have a Star Trek show that followed one of the science and research ships?" before I remember that the diplomacy and action are Pretty Big Draws to the show, and most people wouldn't actually be as thrilled as I would be to have what would essentially amount to "Nat Geo In Space With Aliens".

Can you imagine it, though? Nat Geo in space? With aliens??? Speculative biology, and anthropology xenopology (xenology? idk), astrophysics, et cetera -

Well. I can dream.

Hi, I got the date wrong for the art entry. I thought the due date was the 31st not the 30th. I am still submitting the art, but I am not sure where?

Hello! Art can be submitted to zineobiology@gmail.com

Quick Update

Hello everyone! long time no see. We realized there hasn't been a post on here in a little while and thought wed give you and update on whats going on behind the scenes. Today was the second check in! The last one before the final submission. Artists and writers have been checking in and a few have even submitted already! Isn't that amazing?

Behind the scenes from the editors end: the formatting for the zine is all ready to go! its basically a plug and play at this point as contributors start submitting. I have no doubt that we will have this out in the new year.

Stay tuned! things are slowly but surely coming together.

Hey, is the magazine going to be published on AO3? You have a picture that should link to your ao3 profile but the button is not working btw

At this time we don't have a plan to publish anything on ao3, however contributors may upload their work onto ao3 after the zine has come out. We will have a collection they can upload to.

Does the biology have to be related to a member of the federations sentient species ( Vulcans, andorians etc.)? I was thinking of creating an old fashion environment layout of the different animals on Vulcan. It is a criminally under developed venture.

We have decided that this would be acceptable! We think it's a super cool idea
