Do you like minizines?

Hi! I've recently been getting into making zines, and something I've noticed over time is that most fandom zines are closer to books then what zines were in the past. Those are great, but I also love being able to print out and fold a minizine and have a small book!

This won't work exactly like a major zine project. I'm not interested in having people apply to be contributors or having multiple mods or having merch around it. Instead, it’ll be people submitting individual works, and some will be chosen to be included in the final mini zine.

Also, this probably won't be just one, minizines (imo) are fun to make and not terribly complicated to design so if there's interest I'd love to do multiple of these! Lastly, I want to include stuff beyond just art and fic, like meta or comic rec lists or cosplay or photography. However, like most zine projects, this will be collaborative and include mostly other peoples' creative output!

Do you have a suggestion for a theme? Submit one here!

Check my page for what themes are currently accepting submissions, and for how long!

Interested in submitting something to be included in the minizine? Or just interested in reading more about how this will work? Look under the cut!

What even is a minizine?

Typical fandom zines in 2025 tend to be, essentially, books filled with fandom content. Which is fun, and I like it! But minizines are older and more DIY. They're mini booklets made from one sheet of paper folded & cut (and sometimes stapled). I have some examples on my zine sideblog, @zinesinjars.

My favorite two versions are the 8-page folded classic and the 16-page stapled mini booklet. Instructions for how to fold them are here and here, and will also be included in all posts.

What is allowed as a submission?

Like I said earlier, instead of having a list of contributors, anyone on here can submit individual works! You can submit as many as you want, and any one project can be submitted to as many zines as you want.

Most stuff is allowed, so here's a rundown of what is not allowed:

NSFW isn't allowed.

Neither are the following ships: brudick, brujay, dicktim, jaytim, brutim, dickjay/jaydick, Jason Todd x Damian wayne.

(intentional) Plagiarism. All submissions must be your own work. Including comic panels is fine as long as you state the comic that it's from and it's transformative in some way (like a comic edit or a redraw or smth). If you're really genuinely unsure, you can totally ask me but it's probably fine. This rule exists to make sure nobody is intentionally stealing other peoples fanart or fic or whatever and submitting it as if it’s their own.

Any use of generative AI. To me, what makes fandom worthwhile is its collaborative nature. It's built on labors of love and exists in conversation with both the original piece and with other fans. Anyone has the capacity to be creative, and anyone has the capacity to learn something new. Generative AI steals from artists, is environmentally damaging, and is something I never want to support. So absolutely no use of generative AI is allowed for this.

Pretty much anything else is allowed! Like, literally anything that can be creative. I would say, as a guideline, writing over 1k is unlikely to be allowed simply due to constrictions on space. In addition, minizines are vertical, so if your picture or drawing is square-shaped or taller than it is wide, it will print better than if it is landscape-orientation.

This being said, I'd be willing to accept almost anything that fits inside those guidelines. Traditional art, digital art, fiction writing, nonfiction dc-related writing, recipes, photographs, etc. Have fun and be creative!

How do I submit?

You can either submit a post on here, or email it to me at unofficialdcminizine@gmail.com.

Please include a name that you wish to be credited by, the theme that the submission is for, any socials that you want to be included, and the submission itself.

What else should I know before submitting?

These zines will be 100% free to print and distribute. Submitting is consenting to have whatever you submit in a zine that could be printed by anyone.

Since there's no money being exchanged or anything, pieces don't have to be exclusive to this zine. You're allowed to make something for the purpose of submitting it to this, you're allowed to submit something that you made a year ago, and you're allowed to post stuff that you submit both before and after the zine is published as much as you want.

you can submit as many or few pieces as you want! However I’m going to try to keep the amount of submissions per person even, so it’ll be likely for only one submission per zine to make it to the final project. If something isn’t used in the first or second (or whatever number it is) zine of a certain theme but there’s enough interest for a repeat zine of that theme, for up to a year it might also be included in a subsequent zine. You can submit a piece for as many zines as you want, but in all likelihood any submitted piece will only be selected for one zine.

Also, if your piece does not end up in the final product, that doesn't say anything inherent about it! It could mean anything, from the way it'll print to the amount of space it takes up to how it'll print to having a ship that isn't to my taste. It can even just be that there's a broad theme and I want to represent a broader scope-- like, I wouldn't want a green lantern zine to be 90% hal and 10% kyle if i could have something more like 30% hal, 20% kyle, 10% jo, 20% jess, and 20% john, yk? Something can be amazing and not make it. (I mean ideally that won't happen, but it might! Ideally as many things as possible will make it into end products lol)

Lastly, as this is a project run by one person, I'm not going to pretend to be unbiased. I have favorite ships and characters. I'm not going to intentionally favor them, but I may unintentionally favor them. If someone wants an end product more catered to their own taste, feel free to start your own! I don't mean this spitefully, I love zines and I love minizines and I would love to see more fandom minizines going around lately, and I fully intend to promote any other fandom minizines I see :3

Have fun!
