Lance looked at her over the file. "You want us to work the Naxzela case?"

"Precisely," she confirmed. "Naxzela has been the hub of multiple crime rings. I'm sure you both remember the Galra Drug ring. It seems that another individual has taken residence there within the past few years and has set up shop. I want the two of you to find out what it is, find my missing agents, and take down this ringleader. Without killing each other."

He snapped the case file closed and stood up. "Well, if that was everything, I guess it's time to go then. C'mon, lackey," he said, heading for the door, not really caring if the other agent was following him or not.

Keith watched him leave the room before whirling around to glare at Allura. "You cannot be serious about this."

The FBI Director raised an immaculate eyebrow. "What are you going to do if I say that I am? Remember Keith, you're still on thin ice with me and the rest of the Bureau, tread carefully. Dismissed."

Growling, he stood up from his chair and clomped out the door and past Coran's desk. This was going to put him through hell and back, he knew it.

Agent Diaz was waiting at the elevator, tapping his fingers in an uneven staccato rhythm on the case file. Keith stepped up next to him and waited.

"Okay, I'm going to make this as painless as possible for both of us, so listen up, don't ask questions, and everything will be peachy, capisce?"

Keith curbed the urge to snap back. That was behind him, he wouldn't let his temper get the best of him. "Capisce."

"Good. You leave the point to me, and you can do—" Lance looked him over again before turning back to the elevator, "—whatever it is you do. Find some cyber trail or something."

The other agent huffed and shook his head, keeping his temper at bay for the moment. "Right then. Can I read the case?"

The elevator doors opened, and Lance stepped in, turning to face Kogane.

"No." And he pushed the button to close the doors while Kogane gaped at him, shocked and outraged.

"Diaz, you—!"

The doors shut and began its trek downward to the parking garage underneath the building.

Keith seethed at the door, clenching and unclenching his fists as he vibrated with a rage he didn't think he was capable of anymore. "That fucker," he hissed as he jammed his thumb on the button for the elevator again, just as his phone went off.

Pulling it out, there was a message waiting to be read.

UNKNOWN NUMBER: this is diaz. meet at this address tomorrow at 0800 UNKNOWN NUMBER: 5784 Rebel Drive, Naxzela 61958

Keith clenched his phone so hard that the plastic casing he had on it creaked. Mother fu—

He was fine. This was fine.

Announcing OTPlease: A Fandom zine for writers!

Our Zine is dedicated to showing the talent and skill of fandom authors! In recent years, fandom zines have become almost as popular as they were during the early days of fandom, back when fic was still called spec and creaters didn’t have the internet to share their content. We hope to provide a zine that is a bit of a throwback to the early days of fandom zine creation, one that puts an emphasis on the fan authors that do so much for the community at large! To do this, we decided that we would start a multi-fandom zine! 

Every issue of OTPlease will feature a new fandom and open to any ship from the fandom the issue is centering on. We'll be doing separate applications for each zine, and we will do our best to include new artists and writers each time!

Right now, we’re gearing up our team to take on our first project, but before we start accepting writer and artist applications, we need to grow our team a little bit! Follow us on Tumblr or Twitter for updates on Judge applications in the next few days if you’re interested in supporting our zine, or even working on our team!

Judge Applications Open!

Hello Everyone! OTPlease is officially looking for judges for our fanfiction zine!

Anyone interested in Fanfiction is welcome to join our zine team! Our judges will be responsible for reading applications and working in a team to pick contributors for the zine. This application is not just for individual issues, we are looking for people to join our team for numerous zines if possible! That being said, for our first project, the biggest portion of the judging will be done late November through late December/early January (we will of course accommodate any holidays during this time!).  It is entirely possible for you to judge for one zine and then apply to contribute to the next. Judges will simply be disqualified from judging if they are interested in contributing. If you’re interest, read the application for more information! The Deadline to apply is September 23! Judge Application.

Name: Nina or Neen

Role: Moderator Twitter: @writerlynina Bio: Hey nya’ll, I’m a depressed nerd in my mid-twenties living in Chicago. I work two jobs while I try to scrape by, and have a BA in Creative Writing (gunning for that MFA soon, I hope). I’m a big fan of comics, especially very gal-centric comics. I like craft beer, anime, wine, and sleep. Though sleep doesn’t come often enough. It’s fine. I’m fine! We’re all fine and thriving, right?

Fun Facts: My writing usually comes in the form of mythological creatures and lesbians, and I have recently replaced coffee with green tea. I miss coffee.

Name: Ronan or Spacey Role: Moderator, Co-conspirator :3c Blog: @spaceytears  A Fanwork to share: Unfortunately, nothing public. I do have miles and miles of role-play logs with two or three dear individuals though, as well as quite a lot of privately discussed meta in a Voltron-related Discord I'm in : ) Bio: Hiya! I'm Ronan, but some people call me Spacey, or even Berry. I'm a 20 year old soon to be college student who is currently finding a new calling after being the assistant manager of a costume shop for the last two years. As far as the internet is concerned, I can pretty well say I've been online since I was about six or seven. It wasn't until I was about twelve that I really got involved in any sort of fandom and boy has that been a wild ride. I can say honestly that this is my first big fandom related project that I’m helping out with, and I’m really really excited to see the product of everyone’s hard work in person :)

Fun Fact: I once sewed a thousand buttons onto the back of a denim jacket B)
