a ghost hunt zine

It’s finally here!! Take a look at Familiar Keepsakes, our fandom’s collaborative zine! With the theme of ‘Family,’ we wish to impart how much Ghost Hunt has brought us all together to make one big ole family, just as how the SPR gang has formed lifelong ties with each other 💖

We apologize for the wait, though it’s always better late than never, right? 😁 Consider this as a special treat just for you. (Happy Halloween!)

Thank you very very much to our contributors! Please send your love over to them! @csakuras​ ​ @willtart​​ @flychansan​​ @atalieaoi​​ @thisurlplease​​ @vzyfny​ @crazydcchick​​ @radiowrites​​ @eyeliner-vampire​​

Thank you also to our wonderful editorial board! @rmnitb​​ @tiffotcf​​ @books-tea-ghosts​​ @puff-the-evil-dragon​​ @samantha-girlscout​​

A short note on the files:

1. The [reading copy] is meant to be read digitally. The pages have been ordered so as to emulate the appearance of a zine, but please do not print this. 2. The [printing copy] has been set for back-to-back printing on A4 paper. If you do not have a border-less printing feature on your printer, scale the file down to 90~95% so that nothing will be cut out. If you need help with this, message @rmnitb​​  2a. After printing the zine, you can bind it using several methods. You may find tutorials online.

Lastly, thank you for your support! Let’s collab again and make more zines together soon~

It's finally here!! Sorry for the delay!! I've decided to post the first volume for now since the second is still under way, and the third will only be posted once the second is up.

It's Noll and Gene's birthday after all, and what better way to spend the day than to cry over the twins while reading their stories~

Included in this volume are the following:

His Reality

Confession for a White Crow

Angel with a Bicycle

Eugene

Fuyumi Ono, of course, is the amazing writer who wrote these stories, and all rights are reserved to her and her publishers.

Enjoy!! I have a very small part in this collection—I just did the layout haha! Please please don't forget to thank the following people for the AMAZING work and effort they poured into this project. This never would have happened without them!

Translation (stories): @csakuras

Translation (preface): @thisurlplease

Cover: @seoulsborne123

[Layout version guide]

I made two layout types: (1) for reading on any device capable of opening pdf files, and (2) for back to back printing on A4 paper.

The first layout type is a simple pdf that you can read using whichever pdf app or program you prefer to use.

The second layout type is further divided into two kinds, but only the cover differs: one is colored and the other is b/w. You may print either of these depending on the ink available to you. The content of both versions are the same. (I suggest printing the cover on glossy board paper, around 120gsm, to make it all sparkly~ the other pages can be printed on regular 60~80gsm paper)

[Printing guide]

Be mindful of margins as normal printers do not print until the edges. You may scale down the document's size to 90% or 85%

Print either of the files labelled "for printing" as you normally would on your printer, BACK-TO-BACK ON A4 PAPER

Make sure that the pages are in the correct order (refer to the printing copy pdf, the order should be exactly the same)

Fold the stack in half to prepare the booklet for binding. You may also fold each piece of paper individually to make it neater, just make sure to put the pages back in order

Bind the booklet using a long-arm stapler if you have one, or using and some thread. It's pretty easy to do, there's a lot of tutorials online. Just search "zine binding tutorial"

After binding, cut off the edges using a cutter and ruler

You're done!!

If you have any questions about printing, binding or about the collection itself, feel free to reply to this post or send me a direct message!! If you're also interested in collaborating with me for a different zine project, let me know anytime ^^

Are you a Ghost Hunt fan? Do you continue to create and subscribe to fan content despite the series having ended several years ago? Has this fandom become a family of sorts for you, just as the SPR gang eventually became a family as well?

If you answered yes to all these questions, this zine is for you! 

To commemorate our fandom’s first collaborative zine, the theme is: FAMILY. 

We accept previously unpublished Ghost Hunt fanworks of prose, poetry and visual art that utilize the family theme. (It doesn’t have to be literal. You may interpret the theme any way you want.)

Limits (works should not go over) : Prose - 3000 words Poetry - 30 lines Artwork - A5-sized, colored and b/w (2 versions required) 

Submit your pieces to [email protected] with the subject line “GHZINE - [TITLE] - [AUTHOR/ARTIST]” on or before June 1, 2020, 11:59PM (EST), .docx or .rtf / .png file formats only. The zine will be available to everyone by July 2020. You will be able to keep it as a PDF, or print it on A4 paper if you’d like a physical copy for yourself 

Meet the team: Editors: @tiffotcf​, @rmnitb​ Cover artist/Art director: @books-tea-ghosts​ Auditors: @puff-the-evil-dragon​, @samantha-girlscout​
