Submission Guidelines
COSPLAY PHOTO FORM HERE!
So, you like Guilty Gear and want to feature your work in a fanzine? Our submissions are open until April 14th, 2023 (Midnight MDT or UTC-6)! Free and digital for all!
In honor of the 25th anniversary of Guilty Gear, I'm compiling a fan anthology zine! But rather than just featuring fanart and fanfics (which is still more than welcome!), I'd like to build a people's history of the franchise which includes non-fiction and personal stories from the perspective of Guilty Gear players. Have a collection of weird, rare Guilty Gear ephemera? Or a weapon prop you're really proud of? We'll be featuring that, and more, in this issue!
This issue is themed: "A Future to Strive For"
Release Date: 14/05/23
- We are looking for the following content:
- Fanart (traditional, digital, 3D models, experimental, etc)
- Written fiction pieces (general SFW fanfics, poems, etc.)
- Written non-fiction pieces (personal essays, history of the meta, interviews, etc.)
- Cosplay photography
- Mixed media and collage
- Do not send in:
- NSFW or explicit content. (We understand that there are suggestive elements in the series and review submissions on a case by case basis. In general though, no sexual content.)
- Excessive gore/violence
- Shipping/romance centered pieces (That being said, character interactions and explorations are greatly encouraged!)
- Heavy AU and canon-divergence.
