AFTER I DO: a tanakiyo family zine

an SFW fanzine dedicated to post-canon TanaKiyo and events following the original manga timeline

Information may change depending on the result of the Interest Check

About

A for-profit Haikyuu fanzine dedicated to Ryunosuke and Kiyoko's married life that could feature canon characters with their canon occupations and possible original characters like Tanakiyo children.

The zine will not include NSFW art/fanfics and will entirely be SFW. Production of physical copies and physical merch will depend on the result of the interest check.

Our goal is to provide the contributors physical copies of the zine if the profit allows it. If not, they will still receive free digital copies and the profit will be divided equally among the contributors of this project.


mods

We are a team of friends irl so we are confident we work well together. If ever we go the physical route, we might open fulfillment mod application for those who are based in the Philippines if the fulfillment mod we have in mind happens to be unavailable.

Something about me: First time Mod! I'm an artist and an aspiring animator/colorist! My fave band is BTS and my fave show is Criminal Minds. I like to draw a lot of things and none of them are about BTS or Criminal Minds. Hope our Zine does well!

Contributor applications and forms

We are looking for 20-25 artists, 5-7 writers and 5 merch artists.

For artists we are hoping to see good grasp on composition, colors, and anatomy. Should also be able to draw multiple people in one piece.

For writers, we're looking for solid world building, consistency in style, and comprehensibility. The vocabulary used should be easy enough to understand unless the work demands highfalutin or intricate words (eg., royalty themes, historical fics)

ARTIST APPLICATION GUIDELINES

We will need 3 samples that best showcase the style you're planning to use for the zine. Also a link to your portfolio (Instagram, google drive folder, carrd, etc.).

For the three samples, here are the following we'd like to see:

  • a fully rendered piece with background.

  • one with full body.

  • one with multiple characters in it.

WRITER APPLICATION GUIDELINE


We will need 3-5 fic samples. Strictly only 3k words max. There are not much specifications but we prefer if at least one of them features Tanaka Ryunosuke and Shimizu Kiyoko.


All applications will be blind-judged and your following count will not matter in the judging process. However, we would like to make it clear that we will not be able to provide individual feedbacks.
