Well almost. I have been thinking about this since August of last year since the EN Ikevamp server stopped updates. With the other zine that recently happened I didn’t want to run one at the same time so I sat on the idea and waited.
Seeing that there were over 20 people interested in this project I decided to make it happen! I was really worried that not enough people would be interested in doing this to make it a real thing.
So what is the theme?
Since this will be posted for what would have been the 7th anniversary, the theme is Anniversary/Celebration. This can be anything from a relationship, marriage, milestone, etc. I will have some prompts listed below if you think you need help with getting ideas.
Things to know
The fic word requirement is between 500-3000 words
The art size requirement 8.5x11 inch and at least 300 dpi (if you have an idea for a horizontal piece we will have to go over it with layout coordinator)
SFW and NSFW is allowed (if you choose NSFW it will have to be properly disclosed)
No OC’s. You do not need to write the MC as she is in the game, you can give her your own flare. You can use Mitsuki/MC/Y/N
Maximum of 3 submissions per person
Discord is not required but is encouraged. You HAVE to be good at responding to DMs otherwise
As I said in the interest check, I would like to have at least one piece of media per guy which is why I asked who you are interested in working on. Once everyone has joined the server I will share a spreadsheet where you can select which guy you want to do a piece for.
We do have more people interested than guys which is perfect! Once every guy has at least one piece of media then each guy can have up to 3 pieces just to be sure there is a variety. More details will be in the server.
I can take one for the team and write Gaileo if need be. He is the least liked
How will this be posted?
Right now I am thinking about everyone posting their work to their respected blogs and a masterlist will be created after that. There is a layout coordinator that will be assisting with headers for writing, and will be putting everything in a printable zine format as well. I am open to ideas on this. I simply wish for everyone to get the recognition they deserve for their works.

I think i might've missed him? Who is he? What's his favourite weapon? Is he team saber or team sword? If he painted, what would be the motive and where does it lie in a scale from Vincent to Theo? Does he like guinea pigs? Sun or rain? Favourite season? Cats or dogs? If he was a human animal hybrid, which would he be?
I promise I'm doing it still, but i moved from the Ruhr area in Germany to Vaals, Netherlands (housing is so much cheaper there) to change to Aachen University (way better in computer science than local ones). As you might assume.. moving is stressful, especially over national border and since it's my first apartment (promise you'll get pics as soon as I get rid of all the packaging from my furniture) and I spend the last time filling out a bunch of forms, buying stuff for my apartment, building up IKEA furniture et cetera. Now I'm almost finished, but i won't have WiFi until my router arrives. And I need a second visit to our favourite furniture shop for more boxes and a mirror, probably a Kallax and a drawer, and something to keep my pans from splashing oil on the wall (glass probably idk).
What I'm trying to say is I was really busy and didn't have any time but that doesn't mean I'm abandoning the idea.
Just letting you know that the system of the student housing place i live doesnt accept my router and I've been struggling with calling customer support.
