Exy or Death

"Exy or Death" is a fanzine centered on the Edgar Allan Ravens, from the All For the Game trilogy by Nora Sakavic. All proceeds from the sales will be lent on Babyloan, a platform that enables Internet users to lend to microentrepreneurs in 15 countries (mainly in South-East Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America), and to help them develop their own self-subsistence activity. The zine features 22 fics with gorgeous artworks for each of them, and for a total of 430 pages! >> ♠ BUY THE ZINE HERE (7€) ♠ << (click here for more info) > Table of contents > Published art & fics > Art & fics previews > About > Creators F.A.Q. > Timeline > Other TFC projects

Happy Lunar New Year!

I decided to use a palette composed of this year color trends while also thinking a bit more about my composition... All in all I really made a challenge of this piece and I really enjoyed the process ✨

Investments Round 6

Note : Babyloan was acquired by Lendahand end of 2022

690€ were invested during round 5 in 2022. Since then, 560€ have been reimbursed, but it is likely that the remaining 130€ were unfortunately lost, which is always a risk :(

As there are only two crowdfunding projects open at the moment on Lendahand, our zine proceeds were split half-half between them!

And as always, the link to purchase the zine if you haven’t yet and want to!

Babyloan round 5

The Rise challenge unfortunately did not happen end of 2021, and as all loans from previous rounds have now been repaid, it is time again to lend the money we collected to new entrepreneurs!

Since round 4, we collected 88€ more in zine sales, which allowed us to lend a total of 690€ to three different projects in Kenya and Uganda!

Details of each round:

Babyloan round 4!

2020 has been a wild roller coaster but Babyloan is still standing and so are we, so it is this time of the year again where we lend the money we collected to help people around the world!

We have collected 97€ more during this year through sales. and so we are lending a beautiful total of 610€ today to entirely cover Mr Ben’s loan request to improve his grocery store in Uganda!

Babyloan round 3!

And another year has passed again. We’re all getting older, but it also means... time to share with you what happened for this new round of loans!

We have collected 63€ more during this year through sales. Among the 430€ from last year, 408€ have been repaid so far, which makes a total of 480€ loaned this year (see details below)!

We contributed to 4 projects this time! Like last time, the amount we loaned to each project depended on how much the micro-entrepreneurs were asking for, and how many people had already contributed to their projects. 

More details below the cut, and the link to purchase the zine if you haven’t yet and want to!

Babyloan round 2!

It’s already been one year since Babyloan round 1, during which we loaned the 320€ we had collected from the 2 months of sales since the zine was released, in September 2017. Time truly flies away!

We are super happy to announce that we have collected 121€ more during this year, which were added to the amount we loaned this year. Among the 320€ from last year, 303€ have been repaid so far, which makes a total of 430€ loaned this year (see details below)!

As you can see, we were able to contribute to 3 projects this time! Like last time, the amount we loaned to each project depended on how much the micro-entrepreneurs were asking for, and how many people had already contributed to their projects.

The zine has been out for a year now, wow!

The second Babyloan round will happen at the end of November 2018, one year after the first round in November 2017.

During Round 2, we will lend again what has been reimbursed from last year’s loans, as well as the additional money we have collected since then!

Detailed accounts will be posted after the second loan round has been made.

And for those of you who haven’t grabbed it yet, this zine will remain on sale for the foreseeable future :D

Thank you all again for your support! Be assured that the money we have collected will keep on supporting micro-entrepreneurs from all over the world for as long as you can, and hopefully many many years to come!

Hi everyone!

Exy or Death was released 2 months ago, and we are so happy to announce that we have collected a total of 317.87€* from the sales!! 

Thanks to your interest and generosity, this money went to help two ladies from Nicaragua and Honduras to set up their shops. We wish them both the best for the future!

If you missed the zine and wish to purchase it, fear not! The zine will stay on sale until further notice, and all proceeds collected from now on will be used on Babyloan during the next loan cycle, next year.

> Buy the zine here ! (22 fics with art for each - 430 pages - 7€) <

See below the Read more line for more details!

* Because Babyloan only works in multiples of 10, the sum has been rounded up to 320€ for the microloans. The loan amount for either project depended on how much the entrepreneur was asking for, and how much had already been loaned to them.

Hey guys! Forgot to post these but they were done for @exyordeath-zine which consisted of a Mini Bang and a Reverse Mini Bang and I participated in both!  

First two pages are a little AU I did for the Reverse Mini Bang and that @nekojitachan later ended up writing a fic about. The two other ones were for the Mini Bang and are based on the fic that @nekojitachan wrote for it!

You can find both fics in the zine that you can still purchase at this moment! proceeds from the sales will be lent on Babyloan, a platform that enables Internet users to lend to microentrepreneurs in 15 countries (mainly in South-East Asia, the Middle East, Africa and Latin America), and to help them develop their own self-subsistence activity.

All in all it was awesome to work for this zine and to get to illustrate one of my favourite fanfic writer works! It’s also interesting to see the difference in art style that happened in between the months it took for each phase!

My other piece for @exyordeath-zine ! For @kitshunette‘s great Thea/Dan fic The Raven Queen.

Featuring Jeremy, Laila, and my attempts at roaring crowds!
