Superstars: New Generation World 11
Superstars is an unofficial SFW fanzine celebrating known members of the NG11 in Blue Lock. As such, all pieces will be focused on these characters and their interactions with each other, as well as their various teammates, in the canon setting of Blue Lock. We are aiming for a free digital fanzine. An NSFW add-on may be included pending the Interest Check results.
This fanzine will explore past, present, and future stages of the lives of the NG11, on and off the pitch. Currently revealed NG11 include: Itoshi Sae (JPN), Michael Kaiser (GER), Don Lorenzo (ITA), Bunny Iglesias (ESP), Julien Loki (FRA), Vivien Hugo (FRA), Teddy Knight (ENG).
We hope to feature a good balance of all the known NG11.
Previous zine experience and follower count are not factors for acceptance. All applicants will be judged based on the samples and portfolios submitted in the application form.
Our Interest Check is open now!
What is a zine?
A zine (or fanzine) is a fan-made anthology in the form of a booklet or magazine, filled with artwork and writing, usually centered around a specific theme and catering to a particular fandom.
What is the theme of this zine?
The theme is "the life of the NG11" and a secondary (optional) celestial bodies theme. We aim to explore the past, present, and future of revealed members of the NG11, on and off the pitch, in the Blue Lock manga.
Will the zine be physical or digital?
The zine will be digital only and released for free.
Can minors participate in this zine?
Contributors must be 18+ years old by the end of the application period.
What is allowed in the SFW section?
All content regarding the past, present, and future of the NG11 members, with the other NG11 members and their various teammates. AUs will be on a case by case basis.
Will there be an NSFW section?
Pending Interest Check results. If allowed, it will be strictly NG11 x NG11 only, polycules included.
Can I apply for the zine?
Yes! Contributor applications will run from Feb 5 to March 5 and we would love to see you apply! We are looking for writers, page artists, spot artists, and merch artists.
What are the application guidelines?
This zine will not have a traditional application process. Prospective contributors only need to state what they wish to create and for which NG11 character. They will also need to provide a socmed account and a few samples.
Can I apply as an anonymous contributor?
We can credit you as an anonymous contributor or under an alternate name of choice, but contributors must all join the server for checking and coordination purposes. We would like to keep chances of harassment to a minimum.
Can I apply as multiple types of contributors?
You can apply for more than one role and may be accepted to create multiple pieces.
Does having past NG11 art/ fic/ pieces help with getting in?
A portfolio is not mandatory.
What language will the zine be in?
The zine will be in English.
Will contributors receive a free copy?
All contributors will be given a free e-copy of the zine, along with any and all digital merch.
I have other questions.
