Welcome to Happiness is a Choice - A We Happy Few Charity Fanzine!
Hello, everyone! Our team is incredibly excited to announce our new project: the first (to our knowledge) We Happy Few-based charity fanzine! We aim to showcase the survival horror game’s memorable characters and environments through a collection of digital art and writing, with the help of the fandom’s incredible creators.
Inspired by a game with two very distinct, different, and contradictory atmospheres, we hope for our zine to reflect both the dreary yet eerily beautiful Garden District, and the vibrant yet sinister Hamlyn Village. Each half of the zine will be comprised of one of these areas, including pieces that represent or include them in one way or another. By the time production comes around, we hope to have created a compilation that captures and celebrates the two sides of Wellington Wells, and we’re looking forward to every step between now and then!
For a zine based on a game so heavily influenced by drug use, it seemed fitting for our proceeds to go to a charity dedicated to helping those suffering from addiction. Shatterproof: Stronger than Addiction, a national nonprofit organization dedicated to aiding those with alcohol/drug addictions as well as their families, is not only working to help revolutionize the treatment of substance abuse disorders, but also to fight the stigma surrounding it that has become disturbingly commonplace. They will be receiving the full amount of our proceeds upon the closing of preorders, and we’re very excited to make that donation!
The zine itself, ideally planned to showcase the drawn and written works of 30-45 artists, will be sold alongside several prints, buttons, and stickers as merch! More information about it can be found on our FAQ!
So, where do you come in?
Well, we want you! In order to create this project that we’re so excited to begin, we’ll need artists and writers alike to join us! If you fall into either of those categories, have an interest in We Happy Few, and are interested in participating, we would be delighted if you would apply! You can find our applications here!
If you are not interested in applying, we understand, of course – but we would certainly appreciate any signal boosting we can get! We know the We Happy Few fandom isn’t overly large, but we hope that with enough promotion and spreading of posts, we can develop a team large and dedicated enough to complete this zine.
