Posted 18 August 2017 - 03:37 AM

Hasn't been posted here and it's a pretty big deal so, here it is from Tumblr:

 

Hello everyone. Today I wanted to discuss a long term annual project the NaruSaku fandom can come together on once a year. 

I propose NaruSaku artists and writers alike create a zine once a year that is released for April 3rd of every year. 

 

What is a zine?

A zine is a self published booklet, usually of art, by fans or just because. 

 

What would a NaruSaku zine look like?

I propose that our zine be full of artwork from various NaruSaku artists, as well as short one shot stories from our NaruSaku fanfiction writers. I think zine come in standard sizes, but hey. If there are enough entries, maybe the zine will transform into an artbook. If we get enough participation, maybe extra goodies like custom keychains, posters, or other small merch can be included. It all depends on the participation. 

 

How would you participate in a zine?

If you wanted to participate in the zine project, you would pledge to complete 1 or 2 NaruSaku artworks/fanfiction for that year and submit it to be eventually published and distributed in the zine.

 

What would be the rules?

There aren’t many rules. Just that the art must include, Naruto, Sakura, NaruSaku, or the NaruSaku family. We would probably have to strictly exclude other pairings to avoid creating drama with a few exceptions (MinaKushi, for example)

 

But if these artworks are already online, what is the point?

I would ask that all contributions to the zine be brand new. If the artist wanted to, they could even make their art pieces zine featured only, or delay posting them online if they wanted to. It makes our zine all the more special.

 

What if my art/writing isn’t good enough?

I don’t want to be the judge of who gets in the zine and who doesn’t. If this zine becomes a real thing, the best option might be to gather a group of NaruSaku fans who rate which art and writing pieces they most prefer and the top # gets into the zine for that year. Seem reasonable? If you have other suggests, reblog and let us know. 

 

Would I get paid?

Short answer: Yes?

Long answer: Any money made is going to go in the pocket of everyone who participates in the annual zine. That said, don’t expect it to be a load of cash. Your payout would depend on how many people participate and how many people buy the zine.

The purpose of this zine is not to make money and everything will be split absolutely evenly between all participants. If there are 4 participants and $100 is made, each person will get their $25.

 

Conclusion:

I’ve made a few polls that I would like you to answer to gauge peoples interest in this project! Please answer them or reblog this post with your comments. Thank you

 

How much would you be willing to pay for a zine? https://strawpoll.com/br9dsp51

Would you ever consider purchasing a zine? https://strawpoll.com/esdzke8d

Would you create a NaruSaku piece once a year exclusively to be published in a NaruSaku zine? https://strawpoll.com/rkbkr2wg

 

 

NaruSaku Zine Project: Update #1

. So, we have some early results from the 3 polls I created:

How much would you be willing to pay for a zine? https://strawpoll.com/br9dsp51

Would you ever consider purchasing a zine? https://strawpoll.com/esdzke8d

Would you create a NaruSaku piece once a year exclusively to be published in a NaruSaku zine? https://strawpoll.com/rkbkr2wg

 

How much would you be willing to pay for a zine?

So far, less than $10, $15, and $20 are tied (remember to take into account currency exchanges). I spent much of yesterday researching different printing companies and what we can get done for how much.

 

Currently, the most competitive price I’ve found is 1 book with 20 pages for $6-$10. I assume this option will be quality very close to or slightly higher than magazines you might see in a grocery store or on the corner market. It is 8.5×11 in (22×28 cm) in size.

If we decided to make art books (hard cover super high quality paper), well, that is certainly more expensive starting at about $30 for one 20 page book. Yesh. 

These prices do not including shipping, which will vary depending on where you live. We (the people running this blog), would have nothing to do with that. Also, the more pages, the more expensive the book becomes. And we MUST have a minimum of 20 entries.

 

Would you ever consider purchasing a zine?

Majority voted yes so far, so I hope you stick around. ;) As I mentioned in the previous post, what’s in the zine all depends on how many people participate. In fact, I wouldn’t mind commissioning a few artist to make a guest artwork just for the book if it comes down to it. 

Any participants in the book are also free to offer charms, stickers, or posters to be included in the purchase to make the zine more enticing. (I haven’t worked out how to do that yet other than offer a coupon to get said item)

There will be at least 20 pieces of artwork/oneshots. Heck, maybe even both. ^_^ Imagine one spread where it’s a picture on one side and the short oneshot on the other. That’d be cool. 

 

As for price, it was already discussed above, but it looks like it’ll probably go for at least $10 excluding any shipping you may have to pay. We could make “special editions” where you could get art book versions of the same book if you’re willing to pay that price. 

 

Would you create a NaruSaku piece once a year exclusively to be published in a NaruSaku zine?

So far, 18 people have stated they’d be willing to contribute an art piece once a year for the NaruSaku Zine. That’s already almost the minimum of people we’d need! 

 

Other Updates!

The Rules:

I’ve had a little time to think about the rules and they will stay. The pieces must contain either Naruto, Sakura, NaruSaku, or the NaruSaku extended family. That includes Minato, Kushina, Mebuki, Kizashi, and even Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Shizune. Of course Naruto and Sakura can be pictured with their friends, but other pairings are strictly not allowed (except for their parents, for example). This is because it’s a NaruSaku Zine, the focus is 100% NaruSaku. Sorry.

 

Contributions:

I mentioned people should should contribute 1 or 2 pieces per zine, but hey. If you come up with 5 or 6 and the other zine contributors would like to include your stuff in it, should it be allowed? Your thoughts? 

 

Profit???

As I mentioned before, profit is not the goal here. Whatever money is made will be split up between whoever participates. Here is a new issue I realized though. What if someone contributes more than one art to the zine? Will they still only get a set cut of the profits? Please reblog or let me know what you think about dividing up any profit made by how many of your pieces are included in the zine instead of divided by how many participants

.

Themes: 

I considered providing themes and ideas for people if they don’t have any ideas themselves. The book could be divided into 5 sections. Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall, and General. It is a yearly zine so artwork from the various seasons would be cool (and of course, a section for non-season related stuff. If the book ends up being 20 pages, then I believe each season would have 4 or less artworks. Even if there aren’t enough artworks or stories for the seasons, the general section can fill in all the blanks. Your thoughts? 

 

Book Cover:

I have an idea of what our cover will be, but once people have signed up, I will will share the idea. 

 

More News and Info:

A blog will soon be up for people so that this information stays in a visible place, keep a countdown/due date, list participants, sneak previews, and people can sign up to start contributing! There will be a chatroom to discuss all of this and the details as well as decide what makes it in the the year and what doesn’t (stuff that doesn’t make it into the booklet can still be released as post cards or something else!)

 

The goal for the first NaruSaku Zine is April 3rd, 2018.

Behind the scenes right now, we’re all debating on which cover we’ll be using for the NaruSaku Zine. Want a tease? Here you go!

 

tumblr_inline_p4tu5xr8wG1tmk8op_540.png

Difficult to see, I know. But trust me it is beautiful. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Which brings me to a little contest!

The first person to guess what the front cover looks like or gets close enough to it will get a free copy and they will get to choose one of the cover options for their NaruSaku Zine! I am looking for specific keywords. Anyone participating in the zine cannot enter.

Submit your answers (or questions) to me. You cannot be anonymous for obvious reasons. When the winner is decided, you’ll be contacted! This will not be the only opportunity to win a free copy, so stay tuned!

If you signed up to be a participant, make sure you drop into the Discord to make a vote and voice your opinion on which cover will be used.

As a thank you for participating in the zine, all participants who contributed their work will get to choose the cover they want on their zine (If it’s not the version that will be given to everyone else). All participants will get a free copy of the zine (mostly for proofing purposes)

Good good. You can make poems too (sadly poetry isn't my thing). We've got one oft those so far.

Also, if you manage to write only one page (which is about 500 words, SUPER HARDCORE CHALLENGE), some of us have volunteered to make a matching art piece

Alright everyone, still no correct entries for the zine. Like I said, quite a few have come very close, but I’m looking for something mighty specific. 

Since no one has guessed it yet… your first and only clue is right here! 

 

tumblr_inline_p5g4avGcpY1tmk8op_540.gif

 

 

Tumblr is the first place I’m posting this on, so you’re getting a head start by a few seconds  (note: This is not the actual cover) 

Send in your guess while you can. The first person to get it right will win a free zine. Stay tuned because the raffle contest will be opening today!

P.S: Pre-orders end May 1st, so don't wait too long to order. It's going to be a finite amount. It MIGHT get reprinted next year, but that's a big maybe. 

 

You can see some previews here:
