We are in love with the tributes to Rudyard Funn and the first season of Wooden Overcoats we've already received, but our zine won't be complete without YOUR work! Read more about our project here!
Fandalliances submissions are due January 31st at 11:59, EST ⚰️
Planning to send work in but slowed down by the winter weather or some other unexpected circumstance? Send us a DM or email and we will accommodate you!
hi! For Fandalliances, I see this zine’s focused on season one, and that in the faq part of the google form it says minor characters are perfectly fine… I’m wondering if minor characters that first appear in other seasons are allowed? Like, Sin St. John is C R I M I N A L L Y underrated would I be able to do work with them even though they only appear later?
Hi! Our planned fourth installment will focus on the fourth season. You are welcome to incorporate them into a work for this installment which plays with the parts of the show we are looking at this go-round, though (Rudyard, the first season, and everything thematically in between).
Submissions close January 31st, 11:59 EST! We are still seeking all creative tributes to the first season of Wooden Overcoats and the character of Rudyard Funn. Read more here, and then get the submission in the form in the zine on time!
If you love the audio drama Wooden Overcoats, now is the time to submit to the first issue of Fandalliances, an unofficial fanzine. We have already been blown away by the creativity of submissions so far. This is just a small sampling of the type of work you could create! Review our submission guidelines here.
Submissions to Fandalliances are still open! Send us your Wooden Overcoats prose, art, creative nonfiction, poetry, and everything in between. We are extending our submission deadline to January 31st. Follow this link to submit!
Question: if a playlist is visible on my Spotify profile (and has only been saved by a couple of my real life friends) but has never been posted about publicly on social media, is it viable for submission?
Thank you!
Thanks for checking! This is fine to submit, and we look forward to receiving it!
Can I just ask what kind of thing (and how long) you're expecting/wanting for the Brief Bio on the submission form? Will the contributors' bios be included in the actual zine?
(I am definitely going to submit but it will probably be 10 mins before the deadline because of the kind of person I am)
Hi! Thank you for reaching out! One paragraph is appropriate (1-5 sentences). The contributor bios are going to be included in the zine, and it is up to you as to its content. If you would like to link other projects or social media handles, the bio is the place to promote that. You are also welcome to keep it simple, or have no bio at all! As we construct the zine, we will confirm with contributors their bios before the zine is published. We look forward to reviewing your work!
We are excited to open up submissions for our first issue! We are seeking creative works centered around the first season of the audio drama Wooden Overcoats, as well as the character of Rudyard Funn across the entire series (future issues will continue to align with the narrative trajectory of the show, so our next issue will be about the second season and Antigone!). You will be able to find our zine online for free in the Spring.
Please be sure to read through our submission guidelines before sending your work our way, we are looking forward to reviewing it! Submission guidelines below.
What about copyright? Are zines legal?
We have corresponded with and obtained enthusiastic permission from Wooden Overcoats Ltd. for our unofficial fanproject. Our project is not affiliated with the Wooden Overcoats team. We cannot accept submissions that use the show’s official logo or art in any way.
I can’t draw or write but still want to be involved!
We are open to more than 2D art and fiction–nonfiction writing, puzzles, poetry, collage, playlist making, 3D media, etc. If you were an early days listener, we’d also love to hear your recollections.
How long should written works be?
Please keep written works under 3,000 words.
Can I submit work previously posted on a platform like Ao3/Tumblr/Twitter?
Please only send us previously unseen works. Once the zine is uploaded, feel free to repost your work as you like.
How many works may I submit?
There is no limit on submissions, but note this is a volunteer-run endeavor. Please only submit what you feel is your strongest, most original work. If you are planning to send in separate works that are meant to be looked at together (related prose works or a series of artworks, for example), just let us know in the notes!
Does my fanwork’s depictions of the characters need to align with the show art?
No, we are open to all interpretations of the characters.
Wooden Overcoats can be rather raunchy–can I submit something raunchy?
Regarding NSFW content, we are only seeking work that matches the show’s raunchiness (largely SFW with some innuendo sprinkled in). Critical and analytical looks at the show’s themes of eroticism, desire, and sexuality are also welcomed.
I have a great crossover idea for a story about Wooden Overcoats and my favorite French New Wave film…
We are not accepting transformative works that explicitly crossover with other media. A story about the denizens of Piffling Vale meeting Nightvale wouldn’t be a good fit for our project.
However, if you are interested in alluding to or referencing another work you feel compliments Wooden Overcoats, we’d be interested in that. So, an allusion to a painting or a parody of a recognizable French New Wave Poster would be something we’re interested in and would broadly fall under fair use practices.
Is this a “shipping” thing?
We are accepting fanwork regarding character pairings that align with canon content.
However, looks at shipping and fandom experience are welcomed, regardless of canonicity.
My favorite character is Tanya and I’m just interested in submitting something about Tanya. Is that too niche?
We are celebrating all aspects of the show, no matter how minor a character or how throwaway a joke.
Will my work be edited if accepted?
We will only edit for grammar, clarity, and punctuation. We will not edit for style.
Will I be compensated?
No, we are unable to offer any compensation. However, all artists and writers will receive a handbound copy of the issue.
Any work created with GenerativeAI will be rejected.
If this all sounds good to you, we invite you to submit your work here!
If you have any questions or issues with the submission form, please do not hesitate to email the Fandalliances address ([email protected]) or Alina ([email protected]). We will find a solution.
Come get the creative project in the submission portal for the zine on time!

We've been thrilled with the interest around our project in the past few months, and thought we'd go ahead and introduce ourselves now :) If you haven't heard about our project, Fandalliances is a forthcoming unofficial Wooden Overcoats fanzine. We will be opening submissions very soon, and would love to see your work. More info on that coming very, very soon. We can't wait to put this zine together!
