Silly question…what’s a zine

zine is short for magazine, and in this case is also short for fanzine. They're self published collections of works based around fandom, most are for one fandom (in our case BTS) but some have crossovers like Animal Crossing x BTS. They often have another theme on top, like basing the works inside the zine around a word or colour palette or vibe. They most often contain art and fanfic. some also have comics and poetry and crafts. If they're SFW they're usually printed into actual magazine style books. some NSFW ones are too but there's a lot of logistics around shipping physical NSFW content around the world so more and more often NSFW content is either in an add on PDF, or in our case the entire zine will be a digital PDF.
