Our first Magnus Collection contributor promo comes from @everchased: a freelance and hobbyist artist who spends their days working with animals and their nights listening to podcasts of the horror variety. Easily spooked but enjoying the ride anyway. You can find them on twitter at bunbrain.
Reaching for the Finish Line
COVID-19 showed a nasty hand and tossed our production staff into a hard second wave, just to show we shouldn’t promise any dates without books in hand. We had to change printers when our first choice couldn’t keep up with the backlog, but we found an amazing company a little closer to home that should get us the books promptly.
We’re posting promos now with the print production underway, and with a projected arrival time of about one to two weeks for books to arrive. As soon as the books arrive, we will begin shipping them out in order of purchase, but if you’d like to wait and see just how gorgeous they look in person, we will be posting up some photos of our test copy in the middle of promos. Our design editor, @jackcloverway, worked incredibly hard on this volume, and we’re so excited to show off all the details that are sure to make this a keepsake.
The final print volume will measure 6.75x10.25″, perfect bound, with a glossy wraparound softcover, and 72 soft-gloss interior pages. We had 28 contributors on this volume producing some top-notch art and some really excellent fiction, poetry, and statements. Proceeds from the zine will go toward The Internet Archives, to assist them in their long legal battle for the outcome of the National Emergency Library and the future existence of the Internet Archives. Physical copies will be limited to 50 pieces for the Standard Edition and 50 pieces for the Deluxe Edition. The Deluxe Edition will also come with 4 pinback buttons, 2 vinyl stickers, and an exclusive cover art variant poster signed by the artist.
Right now, you can receive the PDF copy as fast as emails travel through our bigcartel storefront (themagnuscollection), and if you have any questions about any of the specifications, finalizations, countries we can ship to, updates on the timeline, or anything else, feel free to message us on tumblr or twitter, or shoot us an email at [email protected].
@lunagalemaster gives us a tantalizing peek into her upcoming wingfic with our Sunday Fiction Promo. Of herself, she writes: “Luna is a writer who thoroughly enjoys spooks and monster pursuits, especially of the cosmic horror variety. She has been writing fanfiction for half a decade and hopes to one day write fully original works. After finally finishing university. Hopefully.” Find her on AO3 and twitter with the same username, and give her work a click and a comment!
After consulting with the remaining outstanding contributors for their submissions, the mods have decided to give a one-week grace extension to the project. We’d rather make sure that every piece gets those gorgeous finishing touches that showcase the love and appreciation each contributor has for the Magnus Archives rather than a hurried spackling, and we believe that granting additional time will help round out this volume as a strong selection of artwork.
Promos will resume Friday, and will also include “Work in Progress” snapshots if a completed piece was not available at time of posting. We aim to have the digital copy of the Magnus Collection available August 29. Thank you for your continuing interest!

We have finished sending out acceptance, rejection, and waitlist emails for all applicants for the first issue of The Magnus Collection. Once again, thanks to everyone for applying, and we look forward to seeing your artwork blossom.
Hi, can we get more details? Who's organising, and what's expected, especially in terms of fic, what's the expected length? Is this a shameless PWP smut zine, or is it meant to be general but can go high rated for whatever reasons?
Hello! I’m working on a comprehensive FAQ right now, but I’m happy to address some of those concerns.
First, regarding fiction submissions and length, the following is our submission guidelines:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1r9ZC8oPkTekKL8g6G2KRiBcJxDyc6WCMbYrJH4fUf6g/edit?usp=sharing
The zine itself can have both soft, gentle “G” rated submissions and more mature subjects therein. Because The Magnus Archives is an adult-themed podcast, where any written or visual depiction of the subjects may bump those depictions to an M rating, and because we do not wish to put a cap on creative spirit, we have to mark the entire zine as containing mature materials. This could be violence, cosmic horror, vomit, sensuality, mind-control, or even in some localities, the implication of LGBT+ themes. We’re not happy with the assumption that LGBT+ itself is inherently sexual and mature content, but we have to respect the laws of the land if we’re selling a copy to someone who lives there (Russia, for example).
Likewise, to protect ourselves, and our consumers, we have to make sure the zine is appropriately marked, the packaging is marked when necessary, and that our creators and customers are over the legal age of majority. Two of our moderators are from Canada, and there are presently laws in place regarding the mailing of comic books/art books/fiction with “adult themes”. There are different laws in place regarding freedom of expression there, and accessing or disseminating print materials is a little different than putting it up on AO3.
If you’re one of our fabulous creators, or if you’re applying to work with our zine, know that our moderators are working to protect your rights and make sure your art, in any way you choose to make it!, is distributed to this amazing community as fairly and properly as possible.
Two Days Remaining...
Two days remain for portfolio submissions to The Magnus Collection. We will extend acceptance/rejection emails through Sunday due to the high volume of applicants and interest in the project. At this time we are not asking for any financial commitment or opening any preorders, merely gathering talent. That said, we are humbled by the amazing portfolios we’ve seen thus far, and we’ve been working on making sure that we can get as many of them as possible in print. This response would not exist without the strength of the podcast and how genuinely passionate you all are for the writing talents of Jonny Sims and co. The mods and I hope we can bless you all in turn.
Have an amazing evening, and Happy St. Valentine’s Day!
-Mod Egon
