The Keepsakes Zine is a fanzine by and for fans of the anime series “K” (also known as “K Project”). The name “Keepsakes” has been chosen to reflect the fact that memories are an important recurring theme in the series, as well as to pay homage to the fact that the letter “K” features prominently in the names of the characters and anime episode titles.
The K fandom is a small but passionate fandom, and we hope that by creating this Zine, we can keep the love for K burning strong, and maybe even introduce new fans to this wonderful series!

A fanzine is a non-official physical or digital publication that showcases fanworks (usually fanart and fanfic) made by fans of a particular show or other form of entertainment. The name comes from a combination of the words “fan” and “magazine”. Fanzines can be offered for free or for sale.
Q2: What is the theme for this Zine?
The Keepsakes Zine has a general/canon theme, and it will be open for all ages (i.e. no NSFW pieces). We intend to represent all 7 Colour Clans as much as possible.
Q3: What is the format of this Zine?
The format of this Zine will be digital only, and will include digital merchandise. We may also provide an option for printable merchandise such as mini prints and printable stickers, but this is currently still under discussion.
Q4: How much will the Zine cost?
The Zine will be priced at a minimum price of $5, though we would greatly appreciate it if you choose to pay more, since we plan to donate all proceeds from this Zine to the Ocean Clean-up charity (https://theoceancleanup.com/).
Q5: Will I need to use my real name if I am a contributor to the Zine?
No, you will not need to use your real name as contributors typically go by nicknames instead.
