Our Zine is dedicated to showing the talent and skill of fandom authors! In recent years, fandom zines have become almost as popular as they were during the early days of fandom, back when fic was still called spec and creaters didn’t have the internet to share their content. We hope to provide a zine that is a bit of a throwback to the early days of fandom zine creation, one that puts an emphasis on the fan authors that do so much for the community at large! To do this, we decided that we would start a multi-fandom zine! 

Every issue of OTPlease will feature a new fandom and open to any ship from the fandom the issue is centering on. We'll be doing separate applications for each zine, and we will do our best to include new artists and writers each time!

Hello Everyone! OTPlease is officially looking for judges for our fanfiction zine!

Hello Everyone! OTPlease is officially looking for judges for our fanfiction zine!

Anyone interested in Fanfiction is welcome to join our zine team! Our judges will be responsible for reading applications and working in a team to pick contributors for the zine. This application is not just for individual issues, we are looking for people to join our team for numerous zines if possible! That being said, for our first project, the biggest portion of the judging will be done late November through late December/early January (we will of course accommodate any holidays during this time!). It is entirely possible for you to judge for one zine and then apply to contribute to the next. Judges will simply be disqualified from judging if they are interested in contributing. If you’re interest, read the application for more information!

Thank you to everyone who supported us in this adventure! We will be providing updates in the coming days and weeks as to what our final donation to TPAN will look like, as well as give frequent updates as to the status of production and shipping.  Please remember, that if you have any questions at all, you are always welcome and encouraged to contact us through this account, or message us for our email address so that you might be able to put together a longer message.  We’re pleased to have worked with all of you, and are excited to provide updates moving forward : D

Another preview of my piece for Across the Stars (@fanficzine​). Pre-orders are open until July 27th! 

Name: Nina or Neen

Role: Moderator Twitter: @writerlynina Bio: Hey nya’ll, I’m a depressed nerd in my mid-twenties living in Chicago. I work two jobs while I try to scrape by, and have a BA in Creative Writing (gunning for that MFA soon, I hope). I’m a big fan of comics, especially very gal-centric comics. I like craft beer, anime, wine, and sleep. Though sleep doesn’t come often enough. It’s fine. I’m fine! We’re all fine and thriving, right?

Name: Ronan or Spacey Role: Moderator, Co-conspirator :3c Blog: @spaceytears  A Fanwork to share: Unfortunately, nothing public. I do have miles and miles of role-play logs with two or three dear individuals though, as well as quite a lot of privately discussed meta in a Voltron-related Discord I'm in : ) Bio: Hiya! I'm Ronan, but some people call me Spacey, or even Berry. I'm a 20 year old soon to be college student who is currently finding a new calling after being the assistant manager of a costume shop for the last two years. As far as the internet is concerned, I can pretty well say I've been online since I was about six or seven. It wasn't until I was about twelve that I really got involved in any sort of fandom and boy has that been a wild ride. I can say honestly that this is my first big fandom related project that I’m helping out with, and I’m really really excited to see the product of everyone’s hard work in person :)
