The Paladin and The Cleric: A Byler Charity Zine

What is a zine? It's short for "fanzine", which is a blend of the words "fan" and "magazine". It's usually a collaborative project involving many people, from fandom artists to writers and graphic designers. Together they create a fanwork that revolves around one topic, theme, mood, idea, etc. The sky is the limit, tho: this is about creativity and community. It’s then published, physically printed and/or digitally, and anyone can purchase it. 

What is The Paladin and The Cleric zine? It’s a zine focusing on Will Byers and Mike Wheeler, and the way their bond is related to DnD. This means artists and writers can choose to portray them in their DnD roles, canonverse Mike and Will playing, or a mix of both. Anything that is DnD/Mike and Will related, is within the zine’s theme. 

All funds will go to a charity, and none of the people involved in its creation will be paid for it. 

How can I participate?  Applications will open on November 18th for each role. For more info, send us an ask and follow our social media for updates and news! 

What are The Paladin and The Cleric general zine rules? *No NSFW. *It has to be Mike and Will/DnD related. *While other characters can be included, the focus is on Mike and Will. 

When will the zine be published? Sometime next year:) probably mid 2023. Zines take a lot of time and effort, but we promise you it’ll be worth the wait! In the meantime, you’ll get to see small sneak peeks and get to know the very talented contributors.

This means that you could get accepted for one role and rejected for the other, OR accepted for both.

I sent in an application a while ago, when Will I know if I was accepted? When the applications close at the end of the month? Or does getting nothing mean I wasn’t accepted?

Hi! We're still receiving applications and they'll stay open until December 30th. Then we'll take some time to review them and we hope to send out results within the first week of January! our schedule is tentative since we decided to extend applications and we had to adjust to that.

No worries if you didn't receive an email after you sent out your application, but if you want to confirm that we received it dm us and we'll chek. :)

If we take into consideration Will and Mike's MBTI's, they should be a Druid (INFP) and a Paladin (ENFJ)!

Wanna know a fun fact?? INFP's are likely to be Druids, while ENFJ's are likely to be Paladins. Will is INFP. Mike is ENFJ! Do you think this description matches their personality?

I think it does, to be honest, but just like everyone, I LOVE Will as our beloved Cleric, which aso fits into the personality of an INFP, a mediator.

Pssst, do you also love DnD and Byler?? Check out The Paladin and The Cleric Zine and don't miss out the opportunity to participate!
