⚠️ A Warning About AmaZine ⚠️

⚠️ A Warning About AmaZine ⚠️

If you mod, participate in or buy fanzines, please read the following document. Myself and a lot of people who participate in the zine community think that what AmaZine is doing is exploitative and predatory. We think you deserve to know why.

A Warning About AmaZine
Google Docs
A Warning About AmaZine Disclaimer The contents of the present document are opinions and not statements of fact to be held up in a court of

If you're a contributor, please also make sure to check the document's second tab! You're not alone, and you deserve better.

Regardless of politics and personal opinions on what fanzines are and what they represent for the community, we think zine participants and supporters are entitled to full transparency regarding AmaZine's services, how their money will be used, and what their services mean for contributors.

We also have a lot of doubts about AmaZine's numbers, something is not adding up. Either their claims about being able to source better and cheaper manufacturers are untrue, or they claim money that should belong to contributors in one way or another. Several experienced finance mods have gone over the calculations in this document and confirmed that the estimated production prices I have provided are accurate. If the production prices AmaZine claims are significantly higher, you should demand receipts and supplier quotes.

If you're a moderator who is currently considering using AmaZine for your fanzine, please pay attention to the last segment of the document. Not every zine needs to be a physical zine, and there are ways to use zines for charity without even touching the money. Please consider those avenues!

Thank you for paying attention. Please research fanzine moderators and stay vigilant. Your talents are too precious to be exploited in this way.

Yes, I Know, I Know, I Hate Myself Too EVEN MORE Designs For My Haikyuu Royalty AU Based Of Of @findingschmomo's

Yes, I know, I know, I hate myself too EVEN MORE designs for my Haikyuu Royalty AU based of of @findingschmomo's fanfiction And All the Prince's Men on Ao3

-> Design Page 1: DaiSuga & Crow Steel -> Design Page 3: KageHina -> Check better quality version

More info and head canons below the cut:

Bit of background Info on Seijoh: - For centuries Aoba Johsai has been the cultural centre of Miyagi, attracting many travelers, scholars and artists - Hence they do not have a state religion and are considered a rather scientific country - this however does not mean that the population, especially in rural areas, are not supersticious, they just don't worship any deities or something of the similar - The Seijoh typically burry their dead and mark graves with more or less elaboratly carved stones - it is believed that the dead are happier burried under the open sky, hence constructions such as mausoleums, temples or crypts are very uncommon - Traitors, criminals or otherwise convicted people are typically executed and entombed in massgraves not worthy of individual markers - The complexity of the stone monuments errected depends heavily on the status of the deceased - commoners usually have a plaine slate, sometimes with little hand-crafted engravings, traders or wealthier people usually comission more elaborate gravestones and royals and nobles are typically remembered with larger sculptures, sometimes depicting the person themselves, sometimes in the form of stone trees or large flowers - Every child born into the royal family is automatically considered a royal with a claim for the throne - Princes and Princesses wear smaller jewlery such as tiaras or diadems to express their status - Kings and queens wear heavier crowns, usually rich in gemstones - Unless a King or Queen specifically requests to be entombed with their crown, it is usually up to their heir to decide whether they want to carry it on or have their own made - hence AobaJohsai too, has no official crown, but it can happen that one crown is worn over several generations - The "official" gems are the blue diamond and the grandiderite (exclusivly worn by royalty) often acompanied by saphires and white diamonds (symbol of status and nobility) and other blue stones (representing varying social statuses) - Crowns have more of a ceremonial purpose, typically worn at special events - Wealth and status are more commonly expressed through fashion - especially through accessories and gemstones as some kinds are only alowed to be worn by a certain rank of people Details on Iwaizumi's Stuff: - his crown is made from iron and white gold, the iron representing his service as a night and is adorned by a grandiderite - his blade is made from crow steel (more info here) - it was a gift from Karasuno, the engraving in the blade reads Seijoh ("Blue Castle") - with the lenghts of 110cm (aprox. 43.3 inch) it is only little shorter than average, but regarding the proportions, the blade is very broad and flat - the hilt is forged like an oak tree with the crown at the base of the blade and the roots forming the handle, capturing a grandiderite at the knob - the sheath is made from hardened leather and has another gemstone worked into it at the front Details on Oikawa's Stuff: - his crown is made from silver and white gold and is made, heavily resembling his mothers - it is very rich in gems, the two center pieces being a grandiderite and a blue diamond, surrounded by littler gems and additional saphires referring to his noble heritage - it is not a full crown, but open at the back of the head so that it can be slipped around his horns and doesn't get stuck on them - while also known to be an excelent swordsman, he is famous for his archery skills and therefore is mostly envisioned with a bow - his favourite bow is made from willow wood, wich is very flexible and able to withstand his demon strenght - with 120 cm (aprox. 47.2 inch) it is a longbow, complimenting his tall stature and allowing wide shots - it has metal ornaments on it, most prodominantly the oak leaves adorning the ends of the bow - the quiver is made from leather, altough he owns another, more elaborate and show worthy made from steel

When You Make Half A Dozen Halloween Doodles During Your Finances Lecture And Forget To Draw Any Of Them

When you make half a dozen Halloween doodles during your finances lecture and forget to draw any of them before the 31st, because you have hit an endless creativity slump and when you finally manage to do something (that should really be studying for your god damn finances lecture, but noooo, that would be too convenient brain, wouldn’t it!) it turns into this.

Idk anymore.

Then His Fellow Kings And Him Enter The Room Hajime Has Dreaded For Months. He Doesn’t Really Know

Then his fellow kings and him enter the room Hajime has dreaded for months. He doesn’t really know what he expected. Maybe a torture chamber with a thousand eyes painted onto the walls and the constant, hellish echo of people laughing at him, but the council chamber is just another, circular room, decorated with noble curtains and golden trinkets. ~ All the King‘s Blades, Chapter 2 - Challenge

🏞️ Delta (✒︎ On Ao3)

🏞️ Delta (✒︎ on Ao3)

IwaOi | Haikyu!! | Timeskip (Olympics) | Rated: G | 1.5k words

Hajime will never admit it, not until the day he dies, but from the moment he saw Oikawa, he knew they didn’t stand a chance. It’s a strange sensation really. An irritating sort of limbo between acknowledging an undeniable fact and the knee-jerk refusal to simply submit. “You made it,” he says. “I made it,” Tooru grins, the golden disk around his neck at home between the blue and white stripes of his jersey, like the final piece of a flag puzzle. A sign of completion and the embodiment of all that had changed. Oikawa and Iwaizumi reunite after a long time spend apart, contemplating what's behind and what still lies ahead.

For the @iwaoibb SummerCamp week 6 activity, prompt given by @mercrediad ^-^<3 It ended up a bit more abstract that I was planning but I hope you still like it <.<

Our second heist writer on case four is: Mod Charly ~

About:
Hi everyone, I am Charly, a zine-hoarding creator with a passion for world building. In my leisure time I enjoy hiking and hiding from the 187.5 drafts and AU concepts fighting for attention in my head (spoiler: they are all chance-less against procrastination).

In a murder mystery... I'd be the whacky secret informant who helps the investigators in exchange for ramen.

Our second heist writer is Mod Charly, so get ready for lots of puns and spirited banter ~
