Hallo!! My name is Juno, I'm a young art student from Germany and have been hosting MAPs, collabs and occasional charity zines since 2015! While I only entered the Sonic fandom in 2020 I still quickly fell in love with the franchise and wanted to organize a project like this since then. I did the artwork on the home page!twitter

Hello there, I'm Neon or Ink!
I've been drawing as a hobby for years now and I've volunteered for several passion projects like "Sonic: What if" and "The Murder Of Me" (sonic fancomic).
I've been in the fandom since 2019 but the blue blur always had a special place in my heart since I was a young kid.twitter

Hi, you can call me Kanny or give me any nickname you wish. I'm a Belgian art student and life-long Sonic fan, but also a nonbinary creator who'd love to give the LGBT+ community more exposure! I've personally been a moderator and host for a few community forums (oof, I'm that old), collabs and server events in the past. Enjoy your stay!twitter

FAQ
Q: What is a zine?
A: To put it simple, a zine is a fan-made magazine where artists gather to create art revolving around a specific theme.Q: Where do the earnings go to?
A: As of right now, all funds are planned to be donated to Háttér Társaság, an organization campaigning for LGBTQ+ rights in Hungary.Q: Will there be a physical copy I can buy?
A: We'd love to sell physical copies! But firstly, we'd need to do an interest check to see if it'd be worth the investment. Secondly, due to Covid interrupting production at most companies we were having trouble finding a manufacturer we could work with that could assure everyone receives their copies in time. As of right now, a physical version doesn't seem to be doable for a small team like us.Q: Will you accept written work or comics?
A: Yes we will! Our writing mod @molostyle23 will be overlooking the progress on the written works.Q: Are human designs, my AU or (this character) allowed?
A: Yes, gijinka/human designs are allowed as long as the character is still recognizable! Keep it to canon characters, no alternate universe of your own/fan characters allowed unless they're mere background characters. For legal purposes, Archie-exclusive characters are also not up for entries; if you have a doubt about who you want to draw, contact us on social media!
Different outfits are of course also allowed and encouraged.Q: I'm not very popular, can I still join?
A: We're choosing people solely based on their portfolio! We want to give smaller artists a moment to shine as well, but bigger artists deserve to join a community project too. No matter your follower count or skill, you can always apply!Q: What if I don't have a portfolio?
A: Clean gallery-like social media accounts (Instagram, art only Twitter, Artstation, Artfol, DeviantArt) or a simple Google Drive folder will do (just make sure we can access it). It does not need to be Sonic art only, just your works you like the most.Q: Is there going to be a Discord server for the zine?
It is mandatory for all accepted artists and writers to join our Discord server for further information and updates. As of right now it is not available to the public.
