Hello everyone! After the positive feedback of the “World of Warcraft Roleplay Guidebook” that I wrote (which you can find HERE ) I’ve got a new project that I wanted to announce to everyone!
I’ve been working on this for roughly about a month now, gathering assets, editing stories, and collaborating with several other people to get it to a releasable state. I’ve wanted to do this for several years, ever since I connected with other writers in this community, but I never had the gumption to try because I was always busy with other things.
Well, now I’ve got the time, the gumption, and the desire to see something like this picked up.
This is a World of Warcraft Fanzine Project that I wanted to get off the ground. It’s a collection of short stories, art, and screenshots from different writers and authors, all collected in one place and meant to look like a book or magazine. Right now, this is “Issue #0”, meaning it’s more or less just a Proof of Concept to show what it looks like rather than an actual, official issue. Considering that most of the stories are written by me, and most of the Art and Screenshots are from my friends who kindly donated to help fill out the concept issue a bit more.
I’m currently in the process of taking submissions, which I’ll link alongside the Fanzine download and an article I wrote detailing what I intend to do and what still needs to be worked on. As of now, the Fanzine is being hosted on Gumroad since I can host Fanfiction there as long as it’s free. I wanted to test it as a potential repository for later works since people can download from there even without an account. However, this might change since I want this to be shared by as many people as possible.
All in all, I hope you enjoy reading it and feel inspired to submit something! I would love to have more people help out with it, as I know there are a lot of creative people here. In fact, I run into creative people every day, and I would love to connect readers and viewers with a new potential favorite artist/writer.

See you in Azeroth everyone, and I’m looking forward to seeing who all wants to join in!
