I'm Doing It

rynlingI'm putting together a "Ganondorf Appreciation" zine.
I'm making it happen.
I told someone on Twitter I would do this as a joke, but then I realized that it's actually a very good idea, if I do say so myself.
A slightly longer version of this origin story is that someone I vaguely know through fandom (and honestly, I wish I knew her better, but I'm lazy about social media) thought it would be fun to organize a collaborative Ganon-centric art zine. We've been talking about it on and off for more than a year, and the project is probably going to come together this summer. HOWEVER, this person is a "real" artist who spearheaded an extremely successful Final Fantasy XV zine last year, and I'm not sure that my work is going to meet the standard she's looking for. Since I am a delicate fucking flower and still stupidly sensitive about fandom politics, I preemptively don't want there to be any danger of hurt feelings on my part, so I was like, "Well, I can just make my own zine then."
So then my hand slipped, and I already have a dozen pages. The zine is ridiculous and very silly, and I'm getting a really good vibe from it. I think it might be cool to surf this wave of positive energy and also include guest art, maybe?
