About

The Keepsakes Zine is a fanzine by and for fans of the anime series “K” (also known as “K Project”). The name “Keepsakes” has been chosen to reflect the fact that memories are an important recurring theme in the series, as well as to pay homage to the fact that the letter “K” features prominently in the names of the characters and anime episode titles. 

The K fandom is a small but passionate fandom, and we hope that by creating this Zine, we can keep the love for K burning strong, and maybe even introduce new fans to this wonderful series!

FAQ

Q1: What is a fanzine?

A fanzine is a non-official physical or digital publication that showcases fanworks (usually fanart and fanfic) made by fans of a particular show or other form of entertainment. The name comes from a combination of the words “fan” and “magazine”. Fanzines can be offered for free or for sale. 

Q2: What is the theme for this Zine?

The Keepsakes Zine has a general/canon theme, and it will be open for all ages (i.e. no NSFW pieces). We intend to represent all 7 Colour Clans as much as possible.

Q3: What is the format of this Zine?

The format of this Zine will be digital only, and will include digital merchandise. We may also provide an option for printable merchandise such as mini prints and printable stickers, but this is currently still under discussion.

Q4: How much will the Zine cost?

The Zine will be priced at a minimum price of $5, though we would greatly appreciate it if you choose to pay more, since we plan to donate all proceeds from this Zine to the Ocean Clean-up charity (https://theoceancleanup.com/). 

Q5: Will I need to use my real name if I am a contributor to the Zine?

No, you will not need to use your real name as contributors typically go by nicknames instead.

This is a one shot story that is meant to function as a RP prompt for a plot I’ve come up with. Responders are welcome!

A “What If” scenario exploring the rise of a new Colorless King shortly before the end of Return of Kings. He has the power to bring back to life things and people that were lost, so long as they live in someone’s memory.

It is said that the Colorless King is the joker card which affects the bonds between the other Kings. Ichigen Miwa promoted harmony between them, whereas his successor brought death and discord. Which side will this new Colorless King take with his dangerous power, in the middle of the chaos the release of the Slate has brought?

Will his power bring back loved ones that were missed, or demons from the past? Will the story still end the same way or… will it end at all?

In whose hand will the Joker fall?

I hope this can intrigue you enough~ The prologue is going to be open-ended on purpose, to allow people from any clan to approach the Colorless King. If you’re interested in a roleplay with this prompt just hit me up. We could arrange something! Enjoy your read~
