FAQ
WHAT IS A FANZINE?A fanzine is a collaborative project made up of art and writing that is compiled into a book for other fans.
WHAT CONTENT WILL THIS ZINE COVER/CONTAIN?This zine will center around Etho related content, including his solo lets plays, Hermitcraft, The Life Series, other games and more. We will be accepting both artists and writers onto this project.
WHAT CONTENT WILL NOT BE ALLOWED?This zine will be about the character/persona Etho portrays online only, and will NOT allow any RPF content, including anything that speculates about his identity, out of respect for Etho’s privacy. Of course, things that are mentioned in Etho’s videos and references to photos he has publicly and willingly shared (ex. his desk photo) are fine, but nothing more will be allowed.
WILL THIS ZINE FEATURE OTHER CCS/FRIENDS?Yes, we will allow other CCs to cameo in pieces, as long as the primary focus is on Etho. There will be no explicitly romantic shipping in the zine, with the exception of references to bits Etho has participated in. We will not be featuring Iskall85 in this project.
WILL THIS PROJECT BE PHYSICAL OR DIGITAL?This zine will be digital and the digital download will be free!
There may be a charity component depending on the interest check's results.
HOW MANY CONTRIBUTORS ARE YOU ACCEPTING?This will depend on both the interest check and application results. Currently the estimate is between 30-50 contributors.
WHAT MODS WILL YOU BE LOOKING FOR?This project will be looking for a writing mod, graphics mod, social media mod, and general/organization mods!
