DC PRIDE FAN SPECIAL
Is this a Zine or a Special?
Technically speaking, this is actually a Fan Made special. Zines typically feature a variety of fan made media in its various formats. The Fan Special aims to replicate DC Comics' Pride Special as a collection of short comics and pin-up posters. We use the term Zine a lot in our outreach so that we can reach a broader audience of both consumers and potential contributors.Plus... "zine" is shorter, so it fits more things!
Doesn't DC already make a Pride Special?
They do! And many people on our team are already avid fans of it. The Fan Special seeks to achieve two additional tasks: One, that DC fans get an oppertunity to make something they love - Comics! Two, to represent a broader spectrum of gender, sexuality and queer culture than we typically get to see in mainstream comic pride specials.Make no mistake - this is an homage to DC Comics and it's pride specials, not an admonishment! But there is always room for more voices.
I'm a writer... how can I contribute?
The DC PRIDE fan special already has made some amazing team-ups between writers and artists who have made absolute magic together! Don't hesitate to join just because you don't draw - we would love to matchmake!
How much will the special cost?
This year, we are looking to release digitally for FREE. This is the first release that the DC PRIDE Fan Special will have, and we want to ensure that all our amazing contributors are as seen by as many people as possible. Because the zine does not earn any income and does not pay its contributors, all writers and artists will have the option of including a tipping method. If you like what you see, we highly encourage tipping!
What are the rewards for Early Access?
Everyone who signs up for Early Access (which is FREE!) will get a small bundle of digital rewards for personal use including a desktop wallpaper, a 6-pack of emotes and three icons!
