Rhythm Generation

It's been 5 years since we released the first of what would become known as the "Rythm Generation" Gundam Wing fanzine project. For about 4 years, the fandom came together to share some really phenomenal fan creations - art, fic, meta, traditional crafts, and more.

Although the project has ended, I did want to share past publications for those who missed out. Each one of the zines was a labor of love, and I want to again thank everyone who participated--as moderators and contributors.

So jump down below the cutline and take a gander. Link to download page at bottom.

2019 Rhythm Generation (released May 4, 2019): A fandom zine for the Gundam Wing After Colony universe and a celebration of the fandom that has been 20+ years and counting. It featured written and graphical fandom work which provided depth and breadth to the AC universe and the world of Gundam Wing. The collection included a wide array of world building meta, articles, art, and graphics focused on science, politics, society, and art from the fandom’s resident experts and enthusiasts which highlight the creative dynamism that underpins the AC universe. There were several charities for this publication.

2020 Rhythm Generation (released April 7, 2020): An unofficial 25th anniversary fandom zine for Gundam Wing and is a creative celebration of the After Colony universe and the fandom family itself.  The anthology showcased a wealth of fandom content in celebration of the show’s 25th anniversary: from fanfic and fanart to cosplay and gunpla to meta, tech specs, and fandom history.  The project included both a core zine—Shooting Stars—with a generalized focused on the fandom and a bonus zine—The Measure of a Year—which featured content centered around the crowd-sourced theme of “Seasons.” The chosen charity for this publication was War Child 

2021 Rhythm Generation (released October 1, 2021): The 2021 Rhythm Generation Gundam Wing fandom zine—East of the Sun, West of the Moon—featured canon-compliant, canon-divergent, and alternative universe explorations and retellings of classic fairytales, folklore, mythology, vast epics, urban legends, and even cryptids. The anthology included a wide variety of both SFW and NSFW fan content—so tread carefully!—to include stories, art, and other fanwork. The 2021 chosen charity was World Literacy Foundation

2023 Rhythm Generation (released July 1, 2023): The 2023 Rhythm Generation Gundam Wing fandom zine returned to the two-part structure celebrating canon and alternate universe fanworks. The main zine—Battle Scars—centered on the Gundam Wing characters as they move on with their lives after a major event. The bonus zine—Kitchen Cabinets—featured fanworks with a tasty twist plus sprites and recipes as digital swag! The chosen charity was The Hunger Project

To download any and all of the zines above, you can GO HERE.

Cathy: I thought you said you weren’t a Gundam pilot!

Trowa: People said the titanic was unsinkable. Look what happened, people lie.

Gundam Wing Novels artwork - Part 6

The Gundam Wing novels contain some amazing art work! When I mentioned it on the LS server, I was asked to share, so I took pictures of everything. Might as well share them here!

Art from Endless Waltz volume 2, chapters 1 -5

since i'm being slow af with this chapter, here's a little snippet :)

----

“Self…detonation?” Cathy breathes, shaking her head. “No, it can’t be…” She looks up at him then, her face ashen. “The Gundam pilot…”

His blood runs cold, his breath catches in his throat. Of course she would have been following what was going on. Of course she’d known that a Gundam pilot had self detonated; OZ had broadcasted it everywhere, hoping to show the surrender and capture of the Gundams to further discourage the colonies and the growing rebellion. He shouldn’t have been so specific. How fucking careless of him.

But she’d promised secrecy. And he trusted her.

“He’s…if he’s…,” she stammers, eyes catching Trowa’s. He can already tell that she knows. Of course she was smart and observant enough to connect the dots. “Then…you…you’re…are you…?”

He moves impossibly fast, squats next to her and clamps his hand over her mouth. “Stiy,” he whispers, swallowing thickly in an effort to keep his voice from shaking. He knows, knows what he’s supposed to do if he’s found out. If he’s even suspected. But he can’t. It’s Cathy. He won’t.

----

anyway tro's getting put through the wringer these next few chapters sorrryyyyy

(Stiy = Ukrainian for "stop")

Masterlist part 2

List of prompts I’m working on (not all though) in a random order:

1. Winx- Church bells (silrah) - forgot about the existence of this, found it recently and am now excited about it (Written now: https://archiveofourown.org/works/46338238)

2. Winx- fitting in (Farahxreader mentor/comfort relationship) - Like this but struggle with reader POV’s

3.Winx- no more drinks (Silrah) - Smut prompt that I’m struggling with as I’m still new to it...

4. Winx- Frying pan (silrah) - Light hearted, slightly funny prompt that I’m nervous about writing, I’m not great at writing funny things

5. Winx- you, me, our little family 7 (FarahxRosalind) - Have so many ideas and have to condense them

6. Winx- Save me don’t let me stay alone 5 (silrah) - I have to write more words than I currently have to make it resemble a chapter

7. Winx- Student soulmate (bloomxfarah Romantic) - Never thought about this ship before but it should be interesting

8. Winx- Sun’s up (silrah) - Smut prompt, still learning to write this stuff, I’ve read badly written stuff and I don’t want to be that person

9. Reign- Shiver (cathry) - Basically finished, in the editing process

10. OUAT- Unbreakable (Dragon queen) - I love this ship and I’m still finding the guts to write something for this fandom

11. Big shot - sweater weather (Ava/Louise) - Never tried this ship before and am new to the fandom, it should be interesting

12. Big shot - I spy (Harvyn) -Cute little prompt but I keep losing interest even though I find it interesting???

This entire list might change in a few days but at the moment these are the fics that I’m looking at more right now.

watching midsomer murders, just because I love a kitschy and formulaic whodunit and i swear to god every episode is just repressed british people, 53 affairs, sergeant troy being a dumb horny piece of shit, and people caring far too much about what other people think.

i love it.
