Hello everyone! While this is my first time modding a zine, I have done plenty of research on managing them and have also done smaller projects before, so I hope to bring the best to you through organising this zine! I’m over on Twitter at @watcherlog.Mod Arcee (Graphics & Art)
HEY i’m arcee! I eat many instant noodles and form coherent thoughts sometimes. I’ve been modding zines for about 3-4 years now, and currently work on a few including @projectteyvat_ and @valorantzine! I’ll be in charge of the graphics and layout for this zine as well as the art beta, so please feel free to contact me if you have any questions considering that! I’m also on twitter at @cryptidsock.Mod Sam (Social Media & Writing)
Hi, I’m Sam! This is my first time modding a zine, but I have worked on countless other collaborative projects including writing and producing a fan-made episode for a TV show and making a book with Thank You notes to send to Shane and Ryan. I’ll be helping out with social media and acting as a writing beta so contact me if you need any help. I’m on Twitter @cr4vensworth.Mod Thea (Art)

FAQ
What is a zine?
A zine is a fan project, where fans come together to create something for a piece of media that they enjoy, similar to a magazine or a book. For this zine, fan artists will come together to create art pieces inspired by Buzzfeed Unsolved as a final toast to the show’s end.What’s the difference between the main zine and the mini-zine?
The main zine will consist of art from accepted applicants only as sadly, we cannot accept all applicants due to production limits. This main zine will be paid and will be available in both print (physical) and digital (PDF).The mini-zine, however, will be open for all interested applicants. In order to not have a limit on the number of contributors, it will be digital-only. This mini-zine will be free, releasing at the same time as the main zine. It will consist of both art from applicants as well as letters of thanks from fans to the Unsolved team.How will contributors be compensated?
Regardless of whether we break even, all contributors to the main zine will be given digital copies of the zine. In the case that we do break even, contributors will be sent copies of the physical zine for free.How many contributors will you be accepting?
For now, we will be looking at about 30 to 35 artists. This number may change depending on the interest check and the number of applications we receive.The digital-only mini zine will be open to all applicants for both art pieces and letters. Submissions for these will be open at a later date.Which charity will the profits go to?
We are proud to announce that all proceeds will be donated to ILGA, an international human rights group for the LGBTIQ+ community!Can we submit previous art pieces for the zine?
No, all pieces for the zine must be made exclusively for this zine.Will any ship/romantic content be allowed?
This is a strict no from us. We're a zine centered on show-related content.If I have any questions, where should I ask them?
