We, the mods of Day 13 - Mystic Messenger Halloween Charity Zine, would like to first thank everyone who took interest and helped spread the word about our project! While we finalize preparations and get ready to open applications, we would like to introduce ourselves.
We are a group of five mods - two writers and three artists, four who have diverse experience in Zine projects!
Mods Mehgumi and Karen are currently are mods at the Wither&Bloom - Saeran Zine and were previously creators of Bing Su - Mysme Summer Zine and contributors for the Beauty and the Beast - Zen Fan Zine!
Byebi as well as Mikalla are contributors for Saeran Zine, and Mika is also a mod for the upcoming Heir Executive – Jumin Fan Zine!
Also, we have mod Niku joining us! She has been writing for the fandom for two years, having written such works as “sinners like us” and “averting eyes”.
With a broad skill set and a variety of experiences, we are working towards making this zine as amazing and spooky as possible!
As the name reveals, the theme of this fan zine is Halloween! It will revolve around the main characters of Mystic Messenger – Casual Story, Deep Route, and Another Story- during this exciting fall holiday.
Although the focus of the zine are these seven characters, minor characters such as Rika, Vanderwood, and Elly are more than welcome to make an appearance. Any and all platonic pairings are allowed, however we would like to limit any romantic pairings to MC1 and any of the pursuable characters.
Themes that will not be allowed in the zine are as follows:
Sexual Themes/Interactions
Minimal blood is okay but contributors will be contacted with more information when we begin production period. This is a SAFE-FOR-WORK zine to be made enjoyable for all ages.
Expect to find everything from trick or treating and tacky costumes to Monster and Killer AUs within the zine!
• Get to know the charity!
Our organization of choice is Trick-or Treat for UNICEF, a charity dedicated to helping children who were victims of recent disaster, such as the earthquakes in Mexico and hurricanes in the Caribbean. We thought this organization was fitting since millions of kids miss the opportunity for trick or treating and taking part in this fun holiday because of such unfortunate events, and UNICEF provides them with a Halloween experience as well as clean water, food, bug spray to prevent the spread of diseases such as Malaria, and much more!
We are accepting both artists and writers!
We are recruiting 22 artists and 5 writers, making a sum of 35 contributors in total, including the mods and guests. An announcement will be made when applications open. Numbers are subject to change if general interest and funds allow it.
The artists are expected to contribute one full piece, and they have the additional option for a collaboration with a writer should their writing strike inspiration!
Writers will be able to contribute a piece no less than 1.5k and no more than 2.5k words!
The theme of said works can be brainstormed once accepted in the zine!
• Will merch be available as well?
Yes! Although we haven’t finalized them yet, merch will definitely be available for purchase along the zine!
• What will contributors get for participating in the zine?
Each contributor will get a free print copy of the zine! Shipping costs are not guaranteed to be covered depending on funds so please keep this in mind when you apply.
Although still very tentative, our schedule is as follows!
June-July: Application Period
July- early September: Creation Period
September - October: Pre-orders
October - November: Shipments
More details about the Application process will be available in the upcoming days!
