About
Creepy Phenomenon is an unofficial digital fanzine celebrating the characters and events of Dandadan taking place in the first and second season of the anime. This zine is SFW as no explicit content will be featured, such as excessive nudity or suggestive situations. Some mature themes (i.e. adult language, canon typical innuendo, etc.) will be allowed, but we are aiming to have an overall lighthearted tone.
Zine Specs
This zine will feature work from roughly 20 artists, 10 writers, and 5 digital merch creators. We welcome all visual artists, including illustrators, comic artists, cosplayers, crafters, and chefs.This zine will be free and digital only, with donations encouraged to a TBD charity. All submissions are to be in A5 dimensions. No animations or music will be featured in the zine.Content must be in the same universe as canon, with no AUs allowed. Characters and events featured are limited to events taking place in the first two seasons of the anime and its equivalent timespan in the manga. The inclusion of ship content will be determined by the results of the interest check.Contributors must be 18+, as that is the content rating for Dandadan. They must create a completely new piece that has never been seen. Work must stay in the zine discord server and can not be publicly shared without mod approval. Any use of generative AI is strictly prohibited and will result in removal from the project. Additionally, any racist, homophobic, transphobic, sexist, or ableist behavior will not be tolerated and will also result in removal from the project.

F.A.Q.
It is a digital magazine created by fans about a piece of media or work. In this case, this is a magazine created by fans about the Dandadan anime/manga.
No, this is a free zine with charitable donations upon release heavily encouraged but not mandatory.
Yes, but you can only be accepted as one role.
The Dandadan canon has a lot of explicit material that differs in its age rating in different parts of the world, so excluding minors is in an effort to fit all these different standards. The zine itself is SFW because the mods are more comfortable working with SFW material than NSFW material.
