Hey everyone. Undertale has not only stuck a deep and personal chord with me— it’s also re-ignited the desire to flex my layout and organizing muscles for a creative endeavor. So I’d like to let you know about a project that can’t happen without you!

If you’d like to share your passion for this excellent game in a fan zine that will be published before the end of the year, then read on. Undertales is a fanzine that will be available FOR FREE as a digital download suitable for printing, and will feature contributed works by Undertale fans, for Undertale fans, and of spi… uh, fans! This is going to be a labor of love I’ll be paying for out of pocket, but I can’t do it alone.

I’m looking for text submissions and art submissions for our first issue.

Here are the requirements:

Text submissions

can be essays, articles, personal fan fiction, poetry, etc.

text submitted can range from the serious (I’m writing about how certain character arcs resonate with me as an abuse survivor), light-hearted, or anything in between

fan fiction must not contain explicitly sexual content

Must be submitted in either plaintext in the body of your email, .doc format, or PDF format

can be no longer than 1100 words

Accepted work will be paid at the rate of 1.5 (one and a half) cents per word

Please include the name you wish to be credited under in your byline.

Art submissions:

(UPDATE) may be in color, black and white or greyscale

can be created in any medium, but…

MUST be submitted in jpg or pdf format with a resolution of at least 300 dpi

must not contain explicitly sexual content

Accepted work will be paid at the following rates: $20 per full page page, $10 for spot art

Please include the name you wish to be credited under in your submission

Submission deadline is November 30th, 2015 by midnight, Eastern US time. Submit your contributions for consideration to [email protected] You can also direct any zine-related questions here, or in a private message, but e-mail is best, as I don’t always have the spoons to check multiple message sources every day.

I look forward to seeing what we can all create together. If you’d like to follow the tumblr for this project, it’s undertalefanzine dot tumblr dot com.
