What I need are submissions to fill these items with! Here are the details:
FANZINE-- I need some really GREAT Star Trek stories and art. Any "generation" of Star Trek is fine. They do not have to be original compositions for the zine, since I am not publishing it or selling it. I am just turning it in for a grade. It will be formatted like an old-school paper zine, but rather than printing it out (which is expensive), I will turn it in as a pdf. I will be willing to give a copy to anyone whose work I use, but that will be the extent of the distribution.
PHOTO ALBUM -- I need pictures of you engaging in participatory fandom -- con photos, costuming, writer collaborations, etc. Basically, the purpose is to show fans having a good time while building meaningful connections with each other as well as honing "legitimate" skills like sewing, painting, writing, etc. I want to show that we've got mad skills and talent! More importantly, I'm interested in photos that have a good story behind them. How has fandom made your life better and how does the photo show that?
If you have questions, feel free to PM me here. Thank you!
