To the Beat of Love is a fanzine dedicated to shipping Kaede Akamatsu with her female classmates and other girls from the Danganronpa series.
BASIC INFO
To the Beat of Love is a SFW zine which will contain spoilers. It centers on Kaede Akamatsu and her relationships with the other female characters of Danganronpa. Whether it is physical or digital, and whether it is for charity or for profit, will be decided by our interest check. Make sure to check our guidelines for more information!
FAQ
What is a zine? A zine, short for "magazine," is a home-made/fan-made collection of digital or paper media following a theme. Zines come in many forms.
Can I have Kaede ships outside of the V3 characters? Absolutely! However, we ask that all characters be part of the Danganronpa series.
Will ships be assigned? Creators will be allowed to choose 3-5 ships they'd prefer depending on their role, and the mod team will choose from those preferences to ensure that ships are evenly distributed.
If this becomes a charity project, what charity would you fund? Our proceeds would go to J-ALL (Japanese Alliance for LGBT Legislation), an organization which provides support for LGBT legal issues in Japan.
How will contributors be compensated? Contributors will receive a free complete digital bundle, and will have the chance to purchase a physical book at cost, regardless of whether or not a physical book is made publicly available for purchase.
Can I apply for multiple roles? Yes, but you will only be accepted for one.
My question's not here or in the guidelines. Feel free to reach out to us in our Tumblr askbox!
