Welcome all creatives and intellectual miscreants! In this first zine, the magazine is going to be focused on themes of Birth, Creation, and Generation! As the manager of the magazine, I hereby swear to make this into some cool shit. The Submissions open now and close in two months.

To give a brief introduction to what exactly this zine is, I want to receive the most personal, irreverent, strange art you’ve made and want to share with the world. Stories about a unicorn trying to find her place in a Sci-Fi dystopia, essays about how turtles represent the ineffable cycle of destruction and rebirth, and visual artwork that could frankly mean anything are examples of the kinds of things I’m looking for.

SUBMISSIONS OVERVIEW:

• Submissions are open from 10/5/2025 – 12/5/2025 (officially closing at 11:59 PM EST)
• You will receive an email back about the status of your submission at most 4 months after submission.
• The Submissions will be evaluated by a group of odd critters, so if your piece doesn’t get in, don’t worry about it. It was probably just too metaphysically powerful for our humble brains to grasp.
• The magazine will go live February 1st, 2026.
• The magazine will be posted in a blog post format and as a PDF, so keep that in mind when uploading content. Videos will be posted as a link to a YouTube video.
  • For the PDF, pages will be 6″ x 9″.
• The magazine will only be including up to 3 pieces from each submitter. If there is a lack of material, the cap may be extended to 4.
• We’ll be aiming for around 20-35 pages, and be willing to go as high as 45. That said, it may end up being shorter (possibly even considerably shorter) based on the quantity of submissions.
• One visual art submission will be selected as the cover of the magazine for PDF by the judges.

SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS:

• Explorations of sexuality are fine, but if it feels like sexuality is the main purpose of the piece, it will likely be rejected.

• Be weird. Have fun.
