How are things going? 👀

☀️Hey there! It's been a while since we've updated hasn't it? Well, we have some good news! The artists and writers have all finished their submissions and all that's left now is to compile everything into a proper zine!

☀️Our lovely editor in charge, @ThisisEClmao, is our one-person star of the show at this part of the process. They're in charge of the compiling, printing, shipping, and everything else from here. If all goes well, we'll be seeing a release before July. 🎉

That said, we ask that you please be patient with us for a bit longer, as this zine is a labor of love made by fans for fans, and sometimes life can toss some urgent matters our way that take priority and delay things.

☀️Thanks for checking in, and we hope you look forward to finally seeing all of the hard work we've put into the zine!☀️

❤️💛💙

No matter how the whole snaccpop thing goes, the previews on twit show you've all worked really hard to make something great for everyone!

Happy new year

Thank you so much for the kind words of support. Despite of all the hurdles that have come our way for the past year, everyone here working on the fanzine still want to see things through. We're planning to finally have it ready for release sometime this year.

After much consideration and consultation with others, it's been decided that we need to give our overworked editor in charge a break so that they can focus on their studies. As such, the estimated release date has been pushed back until February 2025.

We're sorry to everyone who might be feeling a bit disappointed by the new release date. We promise that this delay is only because we care so much about the quality of this zine, as well as the health and well being of all of us working so hard on it behind the scenes. This fanzine is a love letter to all of us in this fandom, from the characters to the creators to the fans like us who fell in love with this story.

Now it's not all doom and gloom. The writers and artists of the fanzine are taking this as an opportunity to further polish our submissions and consider extra material we might want to submit before the new deadline. The fanzine might be officially on hiatus, but the writers and artists are still going to be working behind the scenes to create beautiful art and stories for everyone to enjoy

Make sure your link is accessible to the mods!

Tomorrow is the last day to submit your applications. The results will be released on the 1st of July after applications close!

Don't forget to apply if you haven't already! 💙💛❤️💜

We're now accepting applications for artists and writers! Interested in joining the zine project? Fill out the form! Application for artists: https://forms.gle/XcuXPcJjecDwRoyKA Application for writers: https://forms.gle/u8HELAPZGMLa4wf86

Remember, this isn't a contest! There's no prize to win here. We're just trying to have a minimum standard of quality for the art and writing (no spelling errors, all artwork must be in color with backgrounds, etc.) since we'll be publishing these works into a magazine. We also want to make sure that everyone who submits is ready to create something based off the prompt within the timeframe we've given, as well as have a general understanding of the characters and the game. We also want to make sure all four love interests get a roughly equal amount of attention.

Don't be afraid to apply! The more submissions we get, the more we can put into the zine. While we can't guarantee that everyone who applies will be published, we promise that we'll do our best to make a high quality zine for everyone. Hopefully we'll be able to do this again next year as well with a new theme. We're looking forward to seeing what you can create!

For those who have been having trouble using online translators like google to translate the zine, consider using DeepL or its browser extension. We want everyone in the fandom to have a chance to participate, regardless of whether English is your first language or not.

Thank you to everyone who applied! The result will be out on the 1st of July!

Stay tuned!

About That’s a Wrap!: Something's wrong with Sunny Day Jack FanZine

Hello everyone, SWWSDJ Fanzine Team here!

We’re planning to open the application for this project, but first, we have to introduce what this project is about!

All of this info will be updated; so don’t hesitate to shoot the question for us to satisfy your curiosity!

● Who is organising the zine?

There are 7 of us who are crazy I mean, passionate about Something’s Wrong with Sunny Day Jack. So we figured it would be fun to start another project after the Phantom of the Sunny Day Jack project.

@thisisEClmao, @enthused_ubi, @theyukidragon, @luckyclover_NB, @Alonsy_Nah, @primarvelous, and @kristella_lav going to be on the boat for this project as mods. 

(Sauce is still on the team, but they are on our Guest Artist list!)

This is our first time organising a zine so we’ll try our best to bring out everyone’s sunny-fantastic work!

● What is this zine about?

This Sunny Time Jack Zine is a SFW zine centred around the prompt that Sunny Day Jack, Ian Duff, Shaun Durand-Cofer and Nick “Nicholas” Herraras are actors for Something’s Wrong with Sunny Day Jack. We encourage writers and artists submitting to the zine to imagine what the actors are like when working on an 18+ erotic yandere horror game.

Examples:

Moonpie is not actually blind ._.

Shaun prefers dogs to cats.

Barry is allergic to yoghurt.

We want to let the artist and writers work on what the character(s) are like when the camera is not rolling. Since it's behind the scenes, we can have 2 directions for this zine (so everyone won’t be drawing or writing the same scene):

Get into work mode: The camera is ready, and everyone gets into the working mood: costume changing, script practising, makeup etc.

After the work mode: When the camera is turned off, everyone can be more relaxed after a long day of work, they can hang out together, grab lunch, play games together etc! Things to do to let off some steam.

How one writer/artist interprets the actor's version of a character doesn’t have to affect how another writer/artist interprets the same actor. There’s no set continuity, and we encourage creativity, but let’s not make the actor versions of our favourite characters too different from their game counterparts, shall we?

We want to have at least one piece for every single one of them, which also means the creators will have to fairly decide which one they want to work on.

We are accepting only platonic relationships between characters. No sexual or violent depictions will be permitted at this time. OCs can be included in the art/writing but should not be the main focus of any given work.

● Who are “they” (the characters)?

These characters are from a game called “Something’s Wrong with Sunny Day Jack” which is an R18 psychological horror erotic visual novel game. I highly encourage anyone who is not familiar with it to give the game a try. The demo is out on Itch.io and Steam. This game is only for adults who are above the age of 18. 

It also goes without saying that anyone who is under the age of 18 is not allowed to play the game or join this project.

“Sunny Day” Jack - Your best friend! :D He may be a ghost and a clown but he will never leave your side, especially during hard times.

Shaun Durant-Cofer - Your best bud from college! He is very involved in the film industry and is a well-known cat daddy.

Ian Duff - Your childhood friend and ex. He is an actor and was there with you during the most important moments of your life and is willing to do anything to get you back.

Nick “Nicholas” Herraras - He is an influencer and a dom and has some dark secrets he wants to hide.

● Where will the funds go?

After printing and shipping costs are covered, all proceeds will go to contributors of the zine.

Contributors will be split into two types:

Contributors

The artists and writers who have applied to join the project The contributors will be compensated for their work with a free copy of the zine - both physical and digital copies - and also the entire selection of merch we have available. 2. Major contributors The project organizers; ones who are responsible for making sure everyone's progress goes smoothly, monitoring the project's official social media platforms, putting together the zine into a booklet for printing and appropriate arrangements for any printing and QA if merch were to be made. Major contributors will be getting the same bundle and splitting the extra funds among ourselves as compensation. 3. Guest Artists and Writers The guest artists and writers will be compensated for their work with a free copy of the zine - both physical and digital copies - and also the entire selection of merch we have available.

● Who can participate in the zine?

We are planning to have around 20 Artists and 10 Writers in total. Depending on how many applications and how much interest we receive, we may increase the amount.

We are preparing an application form for artists and writers. Everyone is welcome to apply!

Each artist will create an illustration complete with character(s) and background. Digital and traditional illustrations are both welcome, but traditional illustrations must be scanned at high resolution!

Writers have a minimum word count of 500 with 2000 maximum. (Still deciding on the word limit) The focus should primarily be on the main cast of characters, but secondary characters - including OCs - are allowed to interact with them.

Artists are welcome to collab with writers to draw some scenes out!

● Will there be merchandise too?

Absolutely yes, we would like to offer different bundles with prints, stickers, or a combination of all of these. We’ll keep you updated about this. Artists are also welcome to apply as merch artists!

● What will I get if I contribute to this zine?

A physical copy of the zine will be offered to all contributors (hopefully). Shipping will be covered if funds permit; otherwise, contributors will be responsible for their own costs.

This is why your support and help in spreading the word about this zine are so important!

● What’s your schedule?

We have a very tentative schedule as follows: (Hopefully)

Opening the applications in early June (1st of June to 23rd of June) Closing the applications close by a week before the end of June (23rd of June) List of contributors up by the end of June or early July if we need a bit more time (1st of July) Creation period for both artists and writers from August - September (2 months period) Pre-Orders open in October Zines shipped out by November-December

We are still deciding the exact dates based on a number of factors. By the Closing Date of the Applications, we will share a definitive date!

● How and where can I get in touch with you?
