Now announcing our zine, Protect the Loop!

This zine will be released on the 5th anniversary of "DEATHLOOP!" and follows the release of our first zine, Break the Loop.

We hope to feature all kinds of fan work, including art, writing, photomode shots, cosplay, and more!

We are also looking for a Layout Mod, so if you're savvy at that type of thing and want to get involved, please be on the look out for the app dropping in January!

Applications for all other participants will be open for the full month of March, and you can expect to hear back about participation in the first week of April.

We will also be looking for a Cover Artist, who will have a slightly earlier due date for their piece.

All the most up-to-date information about this project will be collected centrally on our Carrd. Feel free to follow along with us here at @protecttheloop, as well as on Bluesky. You can send along any questions you may have here, and we will address them in a timely manner.

Our Mods: @nadaroule @sigilmint @jotarowan @voidtonics @sphyrne

Looking forward to it, Eternalists!

Hello hello, to all interested participants in The Light at the End! This will be a Fan Zine dedicated to Arkane Austin, in celebration of Dishonored, Prey, & Redfall. There's one week left to apply to participate! Link to apply is here.

Our projected timeline is as follows:

June 28th - Applications Close (11:59pm EST) June 29th-July 1st - Participants Chosen, Acceptances Sent July 31st - First Check-In (Sketches, Drafts, relevant progress check) August 31st - Second Check-In (Mostly-completed work so the zine can be arranged) September 30th - Finished Pieces Due October 31st - Release Day!

One question we've gotten a lot is regarding Dishonored, so to clear it up here, this project will focus on the first game in the series only (Dishonored 2012 and its DLC). The Austin and Lyon teams collaborated on the whole series, but the spirit of this zine is more about the Austin team and their foundational work <3

Have any more questions? I'm happy to answer what I can, as are fellow mods @nadaroule @overseermartin and @dykebonny!
