YU-GI-OH ZINE 2026
Hello to all duelist out there! Do you like drawing or writing fics for Yugioh? If so, then come and join our Yugioh Zine for next year!
Event Duration⏱️
Registration : 29 September 2025 - 17 October 2025 Progress Duration : 29 September 2025 - 31 January 2026 Submission : 30 September 2025 - 31 January 2026 Zine Theme : ✨Raison D'etre✨
Our heroes have been very busy saving the world in every series...so now it's time to take a look at their normal, everyday lives!
Some brainstorming ideas :
What do they do after the arc ended? (eg. at the end of 5ds, Yusei became a scientist, Akiza became a doctor, etc)
What do they do off screen? (eg. GX crew doing homeworks together, Arc-V boys playing video games, etc) Or you can come up with your own ideas!
Accepted form of work 📝🎨 :
Fanarts (A4 size ratio) Fanfics (1000 - 5000 words) ⚠️USE OF AI GENERATED WORK IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED⚠️
If you are interested, please reblog this post. The zine will be cancelled if there are less than 10 interest participants. 🙏
Event Details
General rules
You may use any character from any Yu-Gi-Oh series (DM, GX, 5Ds, ZEXAL, Arc-V, VRAINS, Sevens, Go Rush, OCG Structures, Yu-Gi-Oh Card Chronicles).
As most Yu-Gi-Oh series have different plot for the comics and anime, participants are allowed to choose the version they prefer (eg. Arc-V Yu-boys being brothers in the manga, unlike the anime) or bring in manga/anime exclusive characters (eg. Yoshi, Crow Hogan's little brother in the manga, Koyo Hibiki from GX manga, etc.).
Crossovers are allowed as long as they are still part of the Yu-Gi-Oh series (eg. Yusei with Judai).
OCs are allowed as long as they are not the main point of the work.
Outfit redesigns are allowed
Use of AI to create works is strictly prohibited. If any submitted works are found to be AI-generated, it will result in elimination from the final product.
WIP posting are allowed and encouraged as they show progress and integrity in work production, but please refrain from posting final artworks before the zine is published.
NFSW is not allowed as this zine is meant for all audiences.
If your submitted artworks are not according to the guidelines, I will contact you as soon as I am available.
