Species of Two - A Grocky Fanzine

Put your hands (and trifurcated claws) together for our last guest writer, Bel @fujoshijpeg - coiner of the phrase "species of two" from which our project takes its name! You can also find her on twitter and ao3!

Just like Grace and Rocky are drawn to each other, our final guest artist has magnetic appeal! We’re so happy to announce that CK (@ppyrams) is joining us as a merch artist, and we can’t wait to share their work with you!💫

Our admiration for this next guest artist is canon in every universe, but you may have a particular fondness for their wonderful artwork of book Rocky! Please welcome @grossavocados! 🌟

We are responding to applicants through the social media handles linked in their applications, meaning they can expect to hear from us on Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram, or Bluesky depending on what platform(s) they included in their application.

We are in the process of sending out acceptances in waves, and we will also contact anyone who applied but was not accepted once all contributors are confirmed. We expect this process to be 100% complete by the end of August, but trust that we are working on getting all responses out as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience!

Thanks so much––we're excited that you're excited! We're working on getting a mailing list set up so that those who are interested can sign up to be notified when preorders are available. Stay tuned!

We are overjoyed to announce our next guest contributor, @notholaenas! Angel is joining us as a page artist, and we hope you're just as excited as we are to see what she creates!

Please welcome our next guest artist Isaac, joining us as a page artist! You may know him as the creator of the iconic “Sickos Rocky,” but he’s drawn more than that - check him out over on twitter!

We will be contacting every applicant with a decision!

No, guest writers + artists are not included in that number! Those numbers represent the amount of applications for writers + artists that we are looking to accept!

Yes, acceptances are being sent out from Dratiniquest and SuperSteelRenegade! Unfortunately tumblr limits messages sent from "shared" accounts, which is what the Zine tumblr is. Sorry for any confusion, and we look forward to working with everyone who accepts!

New writer in orbit: our next guest contributor, @grimark! We are so excited they are joining us, and you can see why by checking them out on AO3! ✨

Contributor collector is CLOSED, winched, and retrieved––mission success! Thank you so much to everyone who applied; we have been overwhelmed by the response & the amount of talent in the Grocky community! We'll begin reaching out to all applicants with our decisions starting this week. Keep an eye on your inboxes!

Our next guest contributor @howling-wizard is joining us on Tumblr & AO3, where they post artwork that puts stars in our eyes! We hope you'll go check out their work & give them a follow! ✨

We're over the moon (and several entire solar systems) to introduce our next guest contributor, KJ @kiodja - joining us as a comic artist! Find them also on Twitter + Instagram!

Initiating collector-closing sequence NOW! There is only one Earth day left to apply as a contributor to Species of Two––if you're a #gracerocky creator, get in contributor collector today before it's too late! At 11:59PM on Saturday, August 8th, collector will be CLOSED!
