Welcome to the home of the Tales of the Clones Zine!

I go by Nini, or also known as @twinsunstars and @ninilily, and this is the home of my zine, Tales of the Clones! I plan for this to be a digital free-to-the-public and a non-profit zine, though one of my goals in the future is to do something for charity. For now, I have hopes for the creation of this zine to go well. Thank you to those who voiced their support on my idea, and I am excited to co-create with others!

Now in the early development stages, below is a linked form for the zine if you wish to be part of it and submit something for approval to be featured in the zine. For this zine, you may create and submit:

Fanfiction

Fanart

Collages

Creative/mixed media

LINK TO CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS FORM

The form will close on July 30th, 2026. Have fun, good luck, and please help me spread the word!

I guess I'm just nervous because this is my first time trying to do a zine, but will we be notified if we weren't accepted, too? A clear yes or no would be nice.

Hey there, yes I will just send out a small message to you (likely through Tumblr DM) notifying that you were sadly not accepted if you are not. I am currently in the process of selecting and wrapping up messages to be sent out soon.

I also saw your other ask, I can double check your email in the morning, you're all good. Thanks for the message!

[talesofcloneszine]

Hi friends, I'm going to take a bit more time to send out acceptance emails, I will let you know once they have all been sent out. Hope you all are doing well!

[talesofcloneszine]

Hi friends! Sorry I've been meaning to reach out again, the severe heat where I live is just getting to me every day and its hard to be productive

:(

But ever since applications closed, I have been so full of joy to look through applications, and I can't wait to get things slowly started for you all to begin your creative work.

I'm still aiming to notify selected by August 10th, some of you may hear from me soon through both email and DM. I can't wait to collaborate with you and share your work with others!

ANNOUNCEMENT:

Hello everyone! Hope all are doing well!!

Just popping in as a quick reminder that the zine application form will be CLOSING on July 30th at 11:59 PM PST!! So if you're interested hop on over and come check things out! Form and additional details are in the pinned post and in the form!

I've been looking over the applications coming in, ahhh I'm so excited to work with selected people in the future! Keep sharing and spreading the word, friends! Feel free to reach out with any questions/concerns/comments!

IMPORTANT ANNOUCEMENTS:

Hello there! I wanted to announce that I am extending the zine application deadline to July 30th at 11:59 PM (PST). I still aim to notify those selected by August 10th (PST), and thank you again to everyone applying! There has been more that have come in, I'm so happy that there are applications ☺️

Another thing, an applicant had asked if there would be some kind of place for zine contributors to talk with each other and have a space like this. I thought about it, and after the zine contributors are selected in August, I will apply to create a community hub here on Tumblr in the future for zine contributors to have a space to talk with each other, and I will also be around in the community hub monitoring whenever. More on this will come next month. It'll also be easier to share submission forms only with contributors in the community hub.

Thank you to everyone for showing support, I've just been dealing with IRL stuff.

Always feel free to DM, email, or submit an ask if there are any questions/concerns! Keep spreading the word!

Hi everyone! A little error was brought to my attention; now anyone should be able to freely DM this blog and me instead of just anyone I follow.

Sorry for the mishap!

Will you accept whump or hurt/comfort fics? And can there be multiple authors for one fic? And I imagine the answer’s no, but can authors in a collab submit individual fics too? I’ve never participated in a zine before so I’m very curious

Hi! I will accept whump and hurt/comfort fics, just share those ideas in the form.

I didn’t consider that there could be multiple authors, I think just note that in the form and I feel like it would be a good idea to let you guys collaborate more.

And yes, authors who are also in a collab can submit individually too, just also mention again that you applied as a collab separately as well.

Hope this helps! Also its okay, I’ve never run a zine project before so this is all learning along the way.

Hello! I have a question about the Zine. Is there a page/word limit for any artists/writers who want to participate (e.g. An artist creating a double page spread)?

Hey there! Currently there isn't because I'm just getting submissions and applications from people who would like to participate and what ideas they want to share, and word limits and stuff like that would come out after people are selected.

But I do imagine it being okay for artists to do full page/double page spreads and I don't have a word limit for fanfics in mind yet, so this is all in the works and will be more out after people are selected to contribute. Just feel free to share these ideas in your application.

Hopefully this answers your question!
