Springtime Sweethearts has been released!

Indulge in a fanzine focused on Alfred and Ivan while supporting Southern Fried Queer Pride - every dollar from its 5 usd price will be donated to the organization!

Springtime Sweethearts puts the focus on domestic life and soft situations - and after one month of fundraising, it will be completely free to access starting on October 29th.

If any of that sounds up your alley, feel free to follow the link below to donate and get access - or share and tell your friends!

Please note that I am only hosting the zine - I will not be taking any percentage of profits, and receipts will be posted once the one-month period is over

My thanks goes out to everyone who participated - it couldn't have been done without you.

Update coming soon, I'm just waiting on itch to release payment! ^^ should be tomorrow or Friday :] (if what they say about a 7 day hold is actually true)

[domesticrusame]

Just a few days left!

While Springtime Sweethearts will be free to access on the 29th, if you're impatient (like me) and want to see all the Rus+Ame goodness we cooked up, you can get access right now for 5USD or more, and help support Southern Fried Queer Pride at the same time!

You can find the zine itself down below, or share to spread the word!

It's been a while!! This past year has certainly been a wild one, but formatting for Springtime Sweethearts has finally wrapped up and our release date is set for next Monday, September 29th - for now, here's a preview of the cover done by @wickedwanchii and myself, @corvussei

As a reminder, it will start out as a not-for-profit 5USD zine with all proceeds going to Southern Fried Queer Pride, and eventually become free to access after its first month!

All emails have now been sent out!! If you haven't yet, make sure to check your inbox!

Applications are closed as of last night, and now the sorting process begins!

Acceptances will start going out soon- it may take a little bit simply due to more applications being received than there are spots, as well as personal life occupying much of my free time over the next week, but the very lastest that they'll be sent out by is Wednesday, March 13th via email.

Thank you again to all the applicants- seeing everyone's art, writing, and ideas has been lovely!

FAQ Post!

This will be updated as needed :)

How many participants will there be?

In total, there are 17 contributors!

Is this zine free?

This will be a 5 dollar digital charity zine, supporting Southern Fried Queer Pride, which will eventually become free to access sometime after its initial launch

Are AUs/Nyos allowed?

Yes! AUs are absolutely allowed. Whether it's fantasy, human, cardverse, sci-fi- as long as your piece generally adheres to the theme of domesticity, they can be placed in any universe. Nyos are also accepted!

Will there be r18 content?

No, this zine will be, at most, r15. That means things such as references to adult activities, suggestive wording in conversation or fade to black scenes may be present, but nothing explicitly described.

Is there a deadline?

Yes- as the schedule states, pieces will be due in august. Though, check-ins will be done with creators to see if any extensions are needed.

How many pieces should/can I create?

At least one piece is expected, with a maximum of 3 per contributor.

Thank you so much to everyone who filled out the interest check!!!

I got more responses than I expected, and definitely more than enough to move forward with solidifying the details for this project- as such, mod and contributer applications will go out on the 10th, and be open for the 3 weeks following that!
