q: what is a zine?
A zine is short for βfan-magazineβ or βfanzine.β In this case, it is a compilation of fanmade work completed by creators (generally artists and writers) in the form of a booklet. This zine will be both digital and physical, along with optional merchandise.

Including guest artists and writers, we are looking to accept around 20-25 artists, 5-7 writers, and 5-7 merch artists.

The zine is canon-compliant, as itβs scrapbook/timeline themed. Canon-divergent headcanons will be included as well.
