A Diavolo x Doppio Fanzine

Schedule

About

“Mio Caro” is a JJBA Vento Aureo Fanzine focusing around the romantic relationship between Diavolo and Doppio.We aim to feature 20-25 page artists, 8-10 writers, and 3-5 merch artists (these numbers may change depending on interest check results).Because this is meant to be a fun project in which everyone can express their love for the characters and the ship to the fullest, any and all headcanons about the two characters, be they regarding their gender identities, sexualities, ethnicities, neurotypes etc., will be accepted and encouraged.The main zine will be SFW and we will have a digital only NSFW side zine.This will be a for-profit zine.
We remind you that only 18+ contributors may claim compensation, so younger conributors will be able to opt to donate their share to a charity of their choice or even back to the rest of the contributors.All of the communication among zine staff and contributors, including check ins and casual hanging out, will happen in a discord server all contributors will get an invitation to upon being accepted into the zine!

Interest Check Results

Prices

Our price range will be $10-15 for the digital PDF and $20-25 for the physical zine on its own (no merch included).
For our full bundle, we will try to stay on the lower end ($40-50) so as to ensure affordability for all fans of the ship. The price will change depending on the merch, of course!

Tone

The zine will feature both light and darker themes in about equal measure, for the joy of those who enjoy variety. We will ensure to not lean into one side more than the other.
The main zine will, of course, be fully SFW, potentially featuring canon typical violence and the heavy themes already present in the manga and show.

NSFW Side Zine

A NSFW Side Zine will be produced alongside the main zine! It will be digital only and available as an add on when buying the zine.
Apps for the two projects will be separate.

On Polyamory

The majority voted against the inclusion of polyamorous ships, therefore they will not be featured in the zine. The mods might, however, be planning to make something specifically for that once the Mio Caro project is over... Only time will tell.

FAQ

Q: Can other characters be featured?

As long as the focus is DiaDop then work with other characters is completely fine.

Q: How will the zine team communicate?

All of the communication among zine staff and contributors, including check ins and casual hanging out, will happen in a discord server all contributors will get an invitation to upon being accepted into the zine!

Q: What is an intern exactly?

The role of intern means that you'll be working under the lead mod(s) for whatever position you are accepted for. This can range from helping with tasks to giving feedback on matters regarding the zine. Being an intern is a stepping stone to learn the ins and outs of the positions before trying to take on the role full time. It can count as modding experience for zines that require it, too!
