About the Zine

We are a project focused around the wonderful world of Naruto OCs and celebrating all the different activities and antics they can get into! We have no strict theme for the zine, and encourage everyone to just have fun and enjoy making content for their characters!

She/Her They/Them

Heyo! I'm Emi, my two passions are cats and Naruto OCs~
While I'm not super experienced with Moderating Zines, I have always loved
the Naruto OC community, and I'm really excited to be able to help host this celebration
of the Original Character side of the fandom!
I can't wait to meet you all and see your wonderful OCs!

Emikuma

Hello!
I'm Emiku (She/her) and I've been doing fanzines for fandoms for about three years now.
My primary fandom is BNHA and that is where most of my zine work was done!
In total I've moderated about 9 zines!
I'm still pretty new to Naruto but I'm very excited to celebrate everyone's incredible ocs!

FAQ

Will this zine be SFW?

There will be no adult content present in this zine whatsoever
and the project will remain PG-12 and the ESRB R-17 rating.

Will this be a physical or digital zine?

The zine will be in a digital format, available off of gumroad.

Will you be accepting writers?

Of course! We're aiming to accept four writers for our project.

When would all this go down?

Please see our schedule for more information about our timeline!!

Can we collaborate with other contributors?

If you want to, you're more than open to! It is not a requirement, however.

Would I need an OC to participate?

While it's encouraged to have an OC for the zine, you can choose
to instead draw or write for someone else's oc if you'd like!

Would next gen children be allowed for oc x canon ships?

Families are alright, so long as there is more of a focus on your "main" oc.
For example, having a group photo with your oc and
canon character with their children is alright!

What is the maximum amount of pieces we can do?

For now, we ask contributors to limit themselves to 4 pieces.
We want you all to create as much as you'd like for this project,
but still wish to keep it within an understandable limit.
