About the Zine

Why Martin/Elias?

We find the dynamic between these two characters to be endlessly fascinating, and we want to encourage more fanworks focusing on them! To be blunt, we think this ship is criminally underrated, and as the saying goes, be the change you want to see in the world.

This zine accepts all relationship dynamics and headcanons and is a judgment-free zone. This includes all varieties of SFW, NSFW, romantic, and platonic depictions of the relationship of Elias and Martin.

Although the zine is not exclusively NSFW, the inclusion of explicit material requires that all contributors be 18+.

There are no content restrictions with the exception of underage (lolisho). This restriction is due to various countries’ obscenity laws against the possession/distribution of this type of content. In order to ensure the safety of all of our contributors and consumers, underage content will not be allowed.

We are looking for artists and writers to contribute to the zine. We are also planning on releasing some sort of merch in addition to the zine, such as stickers or prints. Details on merch to come.

This is a nonprofit zine. All proceeds will be donated to charity.
