Frequently Asked Questions

About the Zine:
This (currently untitled) digital fanzine will focus on all eras of Star Wars, along with the themes and celebration of Halloween. It will be a digital bundle (zine + digital merchandise) that is planned to be ready for purchase during September, October, and early November of 2025. As of now, a charity has not been chosen yet, but after one is chosen and announced, the proceeds from the sale of the zine will be donated.What is a Zine?
A fanzine is a non-commercial collection of fan creations (including but not limited to: fanfiction, fanart, cosplay, and meta), that is collected and published either digitally or physically. Early popularizers of the concept included science fiction publications in the 1930s and 40s, but the formatting and content has evolved throughout the 20th century, notably with Star Trek and original trilogy era Star Wars projects, alongside zines created as part of punk and alternative subculture. Today, proceeds from zines available for purchase are usually donated to charity, and the aim of these projects is to celebrate pieces of media or other shared interests through fan creativity.Will this zine be physical or digital? When will it be released?
Due to the seasonality of the zine’s topic, the project will be distributed digitally. A PDF of the zine, along with files for any accompanying digital merchandise will be made available to customers after purchase, and contributors will receive theirs for free. We will be aiming for a release during autumn 2025, with digital sales likely running from mid/late September through early November.Will there be any add-ons?
Though there would not be any difference in price, the zine bundle can potentially include an OC Halloween Parade, which is a scrapbook-style PDF that will include Star Wars OCs in silly, scary, or sexy costumes. Whether or not this will be created alongside the zine will depend on the results of the interest check.What is the content focus of the zine?
The zine will focus on Star Wars characters of any era and the themes, celebration, or general spookiness of Halloween. Creations for the zine can fall under a wide range of themes, though any depictions of violence/blood will be kept to a PG-13 level of intensity.Is shipping allowed in the zine?
The main zine will be gen and SFW, so romantic content will not be the focus. The OC Halloween Parade may include shipping of OCs together, such as if an artist draws their 2 OCs who are in a relationship.Is there an age minimum for contributors?
Due to the potential for violence, blood, and other such topics in art or writing, all contributors must be at least 16 years old.What kind of contributors is the zine looking for?
For the main zine, we will be looking for artists, spot artists, digital merch artists, writers, and cosplayers. We will also be looking for creatives if the OC Halloween parade ends up moving forward, and more information about that will be available when it's time for applications!if you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out to the zine socials, and follow us for more information as it comes out!
