#Modern Draconity Zine

[nova-dracomon]

Modern Draconity zine now available for download!

Draconity isn’t solely from ages past, but something that still burns bright in the modern age. This zine is a collection of pieces created by nonhumans and alterhumans about what it means to be draconic in the present day (or even future).

A huge thank you to everyone who submitted pieces! It means a lot to us that others found this idea worthwhile enough to take the time to create works for it. This zine would not have been possible without your beautiful artworks and writings.

Download it on our itch.io now

Status on Inky Paws #2? I'm reeeally looking forward to reading it. (Sorry if you've already talked about it recently, I couldn't find anything in Tumblr search)

Also, is there a good place to find a list of other alterhuman zines? Especially free to download ones! And if not can you just link a few that you like? 🙏

Status is: Should be done before the end of the year, but can't promise much more than that. Life is incredibly hectic right now (like, you would NOT believe the incalcuable shitstorm going on rn IRL that I haven't been talking about online), but I'm hoping to keep to the same timetable as I did for Inky Paws #1.

There is definitely more than just these free zines out there, but I'm only one person and these are all the alterhuman zines I can pull off the top of my head. If any of my followers have added alterhuman zine recommendations, please reblog and tell us 'bout them!

My Revamped Masterpost!

Heyo y'all! I finally got around to creating this master list!

I'm on AO3 as Mizuka, and am the author of the Winter Light Verse.

Long story short, I had a worldbuilding concept, ended up with the Twilight/Life and Death fandom combo, threw out 98% of canon, and started a rewrite from scratch with totally different lore, history, vampire biology/society, and plot altogether. All while going full gay.

I've also written for other fandoms - most notably, Fire Emblem Three Houses and Ace Attorney. I even started my 'Fandom Odyssey', where I write the occasional fic in other fandoms - fandoms I like, fandoms my friends like, random fandoms, or even, all of the above!

Modern Draconity: A Draconic Zine || Info Doc

Summary

Draconity isn’t solely from ages past, but something that still burns bright in the modern age. This zine will be a collection of pieces created by nonhumans and alterhumans about what it means to be draconic in the present day (or even future). Also, this zine imposes no set definition on what is or isn’t “dragon enough.” If you feel like the label applies, we want to hear from you! 

What Can I Submit?

Both fiction and nonfiction pieces are accepted. As long as what you have in mind fits the theme, it’ll probably be a-ok. 

Off the top of our head, we’re thinking of:

Essays of your personal experiences

Short stories 

Poetry 

Mock advice columns

Alternative covers

Fictional advertisements

Comics 

Recipes

We welcome you to think outside the box and dig into what it really means to be draconic in the modern era!

How to Participate

Please email your completed submission to ruffledgryphgon(@)gmail(.)com and title the email “Modern Draconity Submission.” Also make sure to include the following information in your email:

A name you would like the piece attributed to 

Title of your submission

Any content warnings that you feel are necessary for the piece

Any social media handle or personal website you'd like linked in the contributor section

A logo or icon for the contributor section

**If you would like to stay anonymous let us know

Members of systems are welcome to submit individually or collectively. Please let us know your preference when it comes to attribution.

Once the deadline has passed, these submissions will be put into the zine and it will be posted on itch.io as a free PDF. 

Submissions are due by October 31th, 2023.

Submission Guidelines

Each individual may submit up to 3 works to be featured in Modern Draconity. Comics and multi-image works count as one piece. Individuals within a system may each submit up to 3 works. All work must be your own! Anyone caught plagiarizing or submitting AI-generated work will be barred from entering Modern Draconity and any future zines from us.

Written submissions should not exceed 30 pages and multi-part art entries should not exceed 10 pages. Please keep in mind the zine’s pages will be 8.5x11 and entries will be scaled accordingly to fit that size. We request all art submissions to be sent in either .jpg or .png file formats. 

For stories that use multiple different fonts, we will do our best to preserve the general "feel" of your piece but cannot guarantee we will be able to use the exact fonts or sizes due to restrictions in what fonts we have access to, readability and overarching zine style.

Submissions must fit the thematic criteria of

About draconity / being draconic

Involve the modern era or the future 

As stated in the summary, we will not be policing what is or is not considered “dragon.” If you self-identify as draconic you count! 

FAQ

Q: Where will the zine be hosted? What will it cost? A: The zine will be hosted digitally on our itch.io and will be free to download. 

Q: Is there a cap on submissions? A: There is none, as long as the file doesn’t start getting too big for our computer we’ll do our best! If there are an unprecedented amount of submissions, we may have to delay the release. In the event that happens, we would communicate that through updates on our tumblr.

Q: Can I update my application after it’s been submitted? A: Yes you may, as long as that is communicated to us before the submission deadline.

Q: Can I rescind my submission? A: Yes you may, as long as that is communicated to us before the submission deadline. This is because once we begin work on the zine, having to remove content mid-way through would throw off the formatting of everything else after. Please take this into account before submitting. 

Q: Will this zine allow NSFW entries? A: No, nothing 18+ will be accepted.

Q: What is your timeline for the project? A: Our submission deadline is October 31, 2023. We are then planning to spend the next month or so compiling all of the entries. Our goal is to have the zine live by the end of the year. If something unforeseen happens and we are unable to make that deadline, we will post an update about it on our tumblr.

Q: I have another question! A: Feel free to reach out to us at our email ruffledgryphgon(@)gmail(.)com with any other questions you have about the zine.

Modern Draconity Zine Now Closed for Submissions

A huge thank you to everyone who submitted work!! It means a lot to us and we can't wait to share this zine with the community!

Everyone who's entry we have received has been emailed back -- if you haven't heard from us, we haven't received your entry.

If this applies to you, then contact us either here on tumblr or at our email RuffledGryphon(@)gmail.com ASAP so don't miss your entry!

We originally said we would plan to get the zine out by the end of the year. However, we have been working on it behind the scenes and now anticipate getting it out mid-November.

When it's finished it will be available for free download on our itch.io

[nova-dracomon]

We figured out how to add links to other pages in pdfs and are so proud of ourselves. What this means is, in our upcoming zine, you can read the content warning for an entry and then click a link to skip it completely.

No scrolling super fast to avoid it.

No accidentally overshooting and having to re-find your place.

Just read the cw a page before and click! and you're on to the next entry.

Also we learned how to add alt text in indesign so we're going to make sure all the art entries are accessible.

[nova-dracomon]

Where will Modern Draconity be posted when it is complete? With links if possible, of course.

Our goal is to have the zine live by the end of the year. It will be hosted digitally on our itch.io and will be free to download: https://ruffledgryphon.itch.io/

As a reminder, submissions close EOD October 31. We're looking forward to seeing everyone's works! ^v^
