[unromancable]

P is for Pegasus

I can finally reveal the piece that I wrote for the @ab-estiary-c​ zine!! I’m so honored to have been a part of it, and all the proceeds are going towards charity!! Please consider supporting it so that we can try to fund physical copies

My entry was for P – Pegasus!

“Aye, the winged ones. I know them well. Y’see, my family all been farmers, me da tended to the land when I were young, and his ma a’fore him. It weren’t profitable work but it were honest work all the same. Was my ma’s idea to bring in horses to help with ploughing the fields and transporting the crops, and me da was strict against it. “We can’t afford another mouth!” said he. “You’ll starve us, woman!”

FAQ

1) When is the deadline for applications?

June 19th

2) Is this a free, paid or charity zine?

Currently we are polling the applicants to see what they prefer!

3) Is this digital or physical?

At the moment only a PDF is planned however if enough money is raised via a paid route then physical will be considered!

4) The post says writing is accepted, what are you looking for in writing?

A few paragraphs at most! The idea is to have a supplimental text to the illustrations. Short stories, lore, poetry, etc.

5) How are the creatures chosen?

We went through a list of mythological creatures, picking three for each letter of the alphabet. Careful to not pick duplicates(as many cultures have similar monsters), purely animals(such as giant bulls and birds) and specific gods. This is not a fool proof list as some letters were very difficult to pick from

6) If accepted do I get to pick my creature?

From the list yes! Though the tighter the list becomes the more likely you are to be assigned a specific letter. Our goal is at least 26 creatures to fill the english alphabet.

Any other questions please direct them to the ask box!
