Welcome to the offical Sherlock&Co Zine blog!! This is a zine specifically for John Podcast Watson and his best friends, Sherlock Holmes and Mariana Ametxazurra!!
Modded by: @elliotthedumb
I've been looking around tumblr for quite a while and have foundO no traces of a Sherlock&Co-specific zine, so I decided to make one! Current stage is working through contributor applications and sending things out!
Timeline:
July 31st: Interest check opens! (Link)
August 6th: Mod applications open (Link)
August 20th: Mod applications close
September 10th: Contributor applications open (Link)
November 10th: Contributor applications close
November 15th/16th: Send out acceptance applications and start on the zine!
December 15th: Check in no.1
January 15th: Check in no.2
Febuary 15th: Check in no.3
Mid March: Deadline for creation
End of March-June: Buffer time for unexpected delays/Layout work
Hopefully by end of June, the zine will be out and available for everyone to read for free!
Keep an eye out for more updates and put any questions into the ask box!
Is the zine still happening? Noticed there’s been no update since January
Hiya! Yes, the zine is still happening!
Unfortunately due to busyness of both mods and participants, we've had to extend our production time. Currently. we're getting in the last few submissions and will be formatting in the next few days! The zine should be out at some point soon.
Reading: started The Secret History impulsively so we’ll see if I finish it timely (also reading trucoop fanfic……….)
Last series: finished Twin Peaks: The Return and I’m fundamentally different now and feel insane about it. Also started The X-Files since I’ve never seen the whole thing in order lmao!!
Last film: Following (1998), this was Christopher Nolan’s first movie but I didn’t learn that until I was halfway through it. It was painfully mid which sucked bc the premise sounded awesome 💔
Last song: Mr. Understanding by Pete and the Pirates!!
sweet vs salty: rn salty for sure
coffee vs tea: coffee foreverrrr
working on: WIP for @sherlockandcozine ❤️ (go check it out it’s gonna be cool!!) + a Wake Up Dead Man illustration that I’ve been trying to finish since the movie came out

And that's all the mods! Thank you for reading the first of 3 contributor spotlights!
We're seeing people start on sketches, ideas, and some even pieces! Within the next day, we'll send out a list of everyone who's in the zine so you all can get to know the contributors!
There are a couple people not on the server yet, owever. We've sent out final messages and if you do not join within a couple days, you will be removed from the zine. Sorry, but we can't wait for much longer.
Over the next 24 hours or so, you'll be sent a Discord friend request by one of 3 people;
@/elliotthedvmb,
@/robbi4004,
@/munchkin1156.
Robbi will be sending out mainly writer applications, Elliott will be sending out mainly page artist applications, and Munch will be sending out mainly comic artist/spread artist applications, so if you remember what you've applied for, that's a good reference for who'll contact you!
Thank you SO much to everyone that applied! We loved looking through everyone's applications and they were all absolutely stunning!! Sadly, we couldn't get everyone in due to lack of space and a few other factors. We do appreciate all the support and help we've gotten so far for this project! This is my (Elliott) first zine that I've run, and I'm so glad it's working out well, thank you everyone!
Hey guys! We still have a whole bunch of people not on the server yet (only about half of you joined!)
Please accept the friend request so we can send you the invite link, or send us an (non-anon, so we can answer privately!) ask to resend the friend request or contact you somewhere else for the link.
Hi random question, but since my discord username starts with S, would it be more likely for the friend request to be sent out by tomorrow?
Sorry that you haven't gotten it yet! We've got a few more to send out but those will be in the next few hours.
It wasn't done alphabetically, though--more like randomly splitting the list into three for each person. You just ended up with someone who's taken a little while longer, sorry!
hi! Will people who didn't get in also get sent an email or be contacted to let them know?
Unfortunately, no. Solely because of the way we'd have to send out Discord friend requests to all rejected applicants and then say 'hey sorry, you're not in.'
This was a mistake on my part not collecting emails or tumblr DMs, but by the time i realised we did already have quite a few applicants and it just wouldn't work.
If you weren't sent a friend request by one of those people, then you didn't get in, sorry! Thank you for applying though <3
Over the next 24 hours or so, you'll be sent a Discord friend request by one of 3 people;
@/elliotthedvmb,
@/robbi4004,
@/munchkin1156.
Robbi will be sending out mainly writer applications, Elliott will be sending out mainly page artist applications, and Munch will be sending out mainly comic artist/spread artist applications, so if you remember what you've applied for, that's a good reference for who'll contact you!

This is my (Elliott) first zine that I've run, and I'm so glad it's working out well, thank you everyone!
hello! Now that applications are about to close I had a question. If we already filled out the previous form before the changes had been made, do we need to fill out the new one or just modify our files if it was a drive? Thank you!
Modify your files if you can! Google drives let you and we aren't checking until the form is closed, so it'll be fine for you to edit any files! :D
