The Curse of the Couture: Castlevania Fanzine dates and charity have been officially chosen!
Firstly, our official dates have been picked! The zine artwork deadline is June 1st with pre-orders opening June 1st, and orders being sent out to ship July 1st. The month of June will be spent on zine formatting, with updates continuing until the final shipping dates! This allows no more extensions, giving a hard set date for all artists to follow.
Secondly, the zine charity has been chosen! After all of our contributors voted, we have formally decided upon donating all proceeds of the zine towards Bat Conservation International!
This wonderful charity is dedicated to protecting bats around the world. Bats are animals who are incredibly important to the ecosystem and deeply intertwined with Castlevania itself. Bat Conservation International has several initiatives, including preventing bat extinctions, protecting bat habitats, and awarding thousands in scholarships to those dedicated to bat research.
Bat Conservation International also continues to use over 75% of all proceeds towards their initiatives. This ensures that the money we donate actually goes to these bat-specific causes the Castlevania community supports, and not towards higher ups.
We hope this information is exciting to everyone interested in this zine! Our mods and all contributors are incredibly dedicated, and we are all very excited for the end product. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to send in an ask!
