Get your new Trek content ready!
I’m currently seeking submissions for the second annual Celebrate Discovery Zine, a collection of art, fanfic, essays, poems, how-to’s, and photographs, and this year, I’m opening it to all Trek iterations from 2017 or after!
Submissions are open July 2-August 31, with publication scheduled for September 24. At this time, only a digital release is planned; however, a high-res, print-ready version will be available for anyone wanting to print the issue for themselves.
Submissions can be sent as attachments (rtf, doc, docx, pdf, jpg, or png) or in the body of the email to jordanlafordan [at] gmail [dot] com. Please do not send links.
Nothing created using generative tools will be accepted.
Unfortunately, this is not a paid opportunity. While the Zine will be available for free, any tips that come in from readers will be donated to Queer artists. Reprints (meaning the piece already appears elsewhere, like AO3, your blog, Tumblr, etc.) are welcome!
For all pieces:
- Star Trek characters, settings, timelines, etc, from other series are fine, but it must include something/someone from Discovery, Strange New Worlds, Lower Decks, Picard, Prodigy, Short Treks, Section 31, or Academy.
- Original Characters are welcome.
- Don’t worry about canon.
For written pieces:
- Nothing over 3,000 words will be published, though if your piece is longer and available elsewhere or if you’re submitting one chapter of fanfic, we’ll provide a link to the rest of it.
- Content warnings will be included at the beginning of the piece, if applicable, though we won’t accept anything that includes sexual violence, violence toward animals or children, or “open door” physically intimate scenes.
For art and photographs:
- No depictions of sexual violence, violence toward animals or children, or nudity will be accepted.
- Please only send non-blurry, high-resolution images.
If you have any questions, please send an email to jordanlafordan [at] gmail [dot] com, or send an ask!
