Hi there, welcome to the Deep Space Halloween Zine information zone Mark II, where I try to give all the pertinent information about the second edition of the zine in one handy post.
Please read this entire post in its entirety before starting to make anything for this zine!
If you have any questions, feel free to send an ask! I will be happy to answer any questions you have. :)
Submission Rules
Fandom
This is a Deep Space Nine zine, so please make sure your submissions focus on Deep Space Nine and its characters. However, characters from other trek shows are welcome as "guest stars" in your works.
Post/Pre-Canon works are welcome so long as they focus primarily on characters from the show (including side characters)
Theme
This zine will be (very loosely) Halloween themed! The works can be about halloween itself, or they can be spooky, or even just fall themed. This is a very, very loose theme, so don't stress out too much about it!
Format and Cost
This zine will be released digitally and be completely free on the Deep Space Halloween Zine itch.io page (where you can also download the first issue of the zine, wink wink)
Acceptable Mediums
Fanfiction (up to 5000 words)
Fan art
Comics (up to 4 pages)
Photo Manips/Collages
Poetry/Original Song Lyrics
(Photos of) sculptures, dioramas, cake art
Basically if it can be put on a piece of paper, it can be eligible!
Zine Cover
If you would like to submit a cover for this zine, please do!
If you submit a cover, it must include the name of the zine (Deep Space Halloween Zine) the issue number (Issue 2) and the year (2026). It should not include signatures or watermarks (credit will of course be listed inside the zine itself).
Covers can be your own art, or can be a photo manipulation.
In the case that multiple covers are submitted, all covers that don't make it to, well, the cover, will be featured as full pages at the end of the zine as "alternate covers," like collected editions of comics do!
Qualifications
You do not need to be an experienced artist/writer/cake decorator/whatever to contribute to this zine!
In fact, beginners are both welcome and encouraged to participate!
Rating
To keep this zine friendly for everyone, we will not be accepting explicit content.
Please keep your works to a rating of Teen+ or lower, or PG-13.
Since this is a Halloween themed zine, blood and gore is allowed, as long as it fits a PG-13 rating (use your favourite search engine to find a list of PG-13 horror movies if you need a reference point).
Ships
You can feature ships in your work, or no ships at all if that's more your style.
Ships between minors and adults should be avoided.
AI Generated Work
AI generated work is strictly not allowed.
Don't do it. I will know. And I will find you.
Exclusivity
All works submitted must not have already been posted elsewhere.
All works submitted should remain unposted until the zine is released on Halloween, after which you are allowed to share your work on Tumblr/AO3/Wherever.

Submissions are due on 30 September 2026!
The zine will be released on 31 October 2026!

When Keiko starts sneezing up marigold petals, she does her research. But when she finds out that the cause of her ailment is that she's unfulfilled without being able to exercise her passion for botany, she finds herself conflicted on whether or not to try and cure herself. After all, shouldn't her family be the only fulfillment she needs?

When Jim catches feelings for Spock, he starts coughing up strange cone-like objects. The good news is that the only thing he has to do to cure this illness is to confess his feelings. The bad news is that he's convinced that confessing his feelings to Spock would ruin their relationship.

Spock: Captain, why are you still in bed? You are due on the bridge soon
Kirk: i’ve had it Mr. Spock<3! It’s TOO COLD. i’m not leaving my blanket until this damn life support system is FIXED!!
Kirk: I mean, how long does it take to repair a thermal unit! We’re in space for pete’s sake!
Kirk: I mean seriously! We can put a man on Qo’noS, but we can’t keep him warm while doing it?
Kirk: I think that Starfleet just wants us to SUFFER. They have NO idea what it’s like out here!
Kirk: sometimes I think we should just BLOW UP THE SUN! Then maybe they’d start showing a little empathy!
Spock: Captain, we are not going to blow up the sun
Kirk: I know Mr. Spock<3, it’s just an expression.
Kirk: my point is that we deserve some semblance of human comfort! Aren’t we living breathing people with basic inalienable rights and needs?
Spock: yes Captain, I agree, you are definitely a person
Kirk: thank you Mr. Spock<3
Spock: Of course Jim<3
Sulu: so where to Captain?
Kirk: I DON’T KNOW, PLEASE! JUST SOME PLACE WARM!

People kept getting at my insta stories with comments about Vulcan physiology, so I made a follow up comic.
It’s Cold Mr. Spock<3 (addendum)
Kirk: hey, what gives Mr. Spock<3? Isn’t your home planet covered in volcanoes?! Why aren’t you cold?
Spock: on the contrary, Wilkins are particularly sensitive to cold. However, mental discipline allows us to endure many discomforts.
Kirk: WAIT! So you actually ARE cold! Mr. Spock<3!!!
Uhura: poor baby!
Chekhov: VAT?
Sulu: AWW! SPOCK!
Kirk: do not fret, sweet Mr. Spock <3? I will keep you warm
Spock: Captain pls. That is hardl-
Everyone: well I’ll keep you warm spock you are important to us
Spock: w-who is steering the ship?
Sulu: o shi-
[ID: A comic with the above dialogue. Spock walks in to find a Jim who is entirely bundled in a blanket and furiously protesting the cold. He picks up the still-bundled Jim with an unimpressed sigh and carries him to the bridge, where everyone else is also revealed to be bundled up tightly.
In the addendum, Jim angrily shouts after Spock, asking why he isn’t cold. Spock admits he in fact is but can ignore it, but everyone on the bridge exclaims in surprise and dismay. Jim quickly hugs Spock, who looks taken aback, and everyone else follows suit with loving smiles and hearts floating around them. Spock, eyes closed, asks who’s steering the ship, and all their expressions fall (except for Jim, who continues smiling). End ID] thank you @princess-of-purple-prose for the ID<3!
