TwitterPokémon has been one of my longest loves ever! So being able to mix it with another thing I care a lot about is so much fun. I have a little experience with other zines, but this is my first time running one! I hope to be able to bring two long-running series together into one with love and passion!

AO3 + TwitterI love love LOVE both Pokémon and One Piece, so making this zine is like a dream come true! My friends know me as a walking lore provider for both series, so I'm happy to use my expertise~ I've only got a bit of experience as writing mod so far, but I'll do my very best to make this zine a success so everyone can have a great time dreaming about adventure with us!

TwitterHi hii, I'm a Brazilian artist and cosplayer~ I'm relatively new to the OP fandom, but Pokémon has been part of my life since I was a kid. My fave is larvitar and I looooove dark types so much! Really can't wait for this zine, is a big honour to be here!

AO3 + CarrdI've been a Pokemon fan since the games first came out, and caught up with One Piece during the Enies Lobby arc. I'm super excited to be working on a zine that combines two of my oldest and dearest fandoms!

Zine Expectations

For everyone: At least one of your sample pieces must be either One Piece or Pokemon. You can submit pieces for other fandoms once this condition has been met. Samples must be SFW, and any potentially triggering content should be warned appropriately (ie: OP-level violence).

Writers will have between 1-1.2k to write and the option to work with an artist if they wish on reference sheets of 4 characters. When you submit your writing samples, keep in mind the maximum word count for each of them should be 1.2k.

Artists will have one single page or double page spread and the option to work on spot illustrations/ reference sheets and also the option to work on the trading cards. (can pick multiple but may be picked for only one extra role if they are making an art piece already). When submitting your samples, keep in mind they should be finished pieces and, in the case of illustrations, this includes backgrounds whenever possible.

Merch artists will have at least one merch piece, the type of which will be chosen when concept ideas are submitted. Merch artists can request to work on more than one piece, but assignment of these is subject to the zine’s budget and the merch that has already been assigned. Merch artists should submit examples of previous merch they have designed and, in case more samples are needed, they can also add art pieces that could be made into merch without significant alterations.

Information

This is a safe for work and ship free zine: Originally in the interest check we asked for opinions about romantic ships being allowed. The voting was pretty even with both yes and no mostly tying. Ultimately we decided it was not a theme the zine needed and decided to make it sfw only.

The project itself will focus on a One Piece world with Pokemon occupying it! How you wish to interrupt that is up to the contributors. If you wish to make it a pirate's life with Pokemon accompanying your favorite characters. Another option is a pokemon league battling your way across the grandline for the ultimate goal of top trainer (pirate king).
