#im honestly so freaking excited for that zine no joke

[ronanvespertine]

I would love to see your work in the gen hawks zine

ERMAHGAWD THANK YOU FOR LIKING MY WRITING THAT MUCH—!

I try not to talk about which specific zines I applied to because I don’t really want people to know while the application period is going. Idk, I don’t really like knowing who is “competition” or not, cause it might discourage me, other writers, etc. So I tend to keep quiet about it. And if I got rejected, I don’t say anything either and just hype up the zine. (I’ve gotten rejected once, but it was for an MCU zine that I wasn’t really feeling anyway, so in a way I’m kinda glad lol.)

Although in hindsight, I guess that would mean I shouldn’t talk about which ones I’m considering applying to, either. 😅 Honestly, maybe I should be a little quieter when rambling about zines. Put them on my rant blog, which is absolute trashy chaos and has no theme.

Anyway, thanks for liking my writing that much to say that! And trust me, I try my hardest at zine apps and zine work. And so do a lot of the other writers I’ve met! There are so many good writers out there, and I’m betting the applications for the Hawks zine are extremely hard to narrow down (rip mods), because there’s so much talent in this fandom. Either way, regardless of who gets accepted or not, you’ll have an awesome zine to look forward to! (I already have post notifs on for the zine so I can snatch a copy in the first 24 hours—)

I’ve also been playing around with the idea of making my own mini zine. A free, digital PDF anyone can access. It only be me working in it, though, so like a personal zine (kinda like kadeart’s fashion Hawks zine in her store), but hey maybe if some mutuals or readers are interested I’d put y’alls work in it too? That’s an iffy prospect, however, cause I’ve never modded a zine and idk if I can handle other ppl working on it with me. I’d draw and write, maybe include coloring pages cause I freaking love lineart. I don’t really like digital merch, though. But DISCORD EMOJIS! I’d totally make discord emojis for everyone. XD

Don’t get too excited about it because again—never modded a zine and I’d be going in a little blind. Also I have no idea what formatting is so I bet I’m absolute shit at it. But hey, learning experience.
