Hey there! I’m Miniyuna, the host of Friendship is Forever! MLP: FIM was so formative and special to me, it fueled my creative output for so many years! I was so in awe of how passionate the fans were and how much gorgeous artwork and incredible songs were birthed because of this amazing show! I have long wanted to make a project that celebrated how much this show meant to me and so many people! I am so excited to dive into the magic of friendship again!

Social Media Mod
Hello, I’m Trace, your Social Media moderator! It’s hard to put into words how much MLP:FiM means to me. I grew up with this series and cannot emphasize enough how much it has grounded me in times where I needed it most. I am beyond excited to combine my passion for zines with my love for a show that defines so much of who I am. <3

Lumi
Art Mod
Hihi! I’m Lumi, your Art Mod! MLP: FiM was such a perfect storm of direction, voice acting, storytelling, art direction, and musical talent that I don’t think we’ll ever see something like it again. It’s no wonder it caught the attention of so many people and became such a global and internet phenomenon. I drew so many ponies in my youth because I absolutely loved the style and all the creative designs people were coming up with. I didn’t think I’d come back to MLP: FiM, but here I am. I’m so excited to return to these characters and this world and can’t wait to see what this zine comes up with!
I’ve been in a couple of zines (even another free digital MLP zine) but this is the first time I’m doing it as a mod! I’ll do my best and hope I don’t disappoint!• Tumblr @Leisi-lilacdreams

Writing Mod
Hey, I’m Hawk! I’m the person who messages my colleague “Hey everypony!” and gets a whopping zero responses every time :’) I’ve loved MLP since I was a kid, and watching FiM help popularise it has brought such joy to my heart. Rarity is my favourite pony and one of my favourite characters of any series — I’m currently planning her cutie mark as a tattoo :D I’ll be helping our writers shine throughout the process from reviewing their pitches to beta-reading their final works, and I can’t wait to see the magic you all come up with! <3
My modding experience includes: Head Mod & Writer Mod for Adventure Log: A Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Zine; Head Mod & Writer Mod for Our Greatest Treasure: A Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Zine; and Writer Mod for Equestria Escapades: A FiM Zine!• BlueSky @VeloxVoid

Graphics & Formatting Mod
Hello everypony! I'm excited to be your graphics mod! This is my first time modding and I couldn't think of a more perfect project to do so. I grew up with G3 in the background, but MLP:FiM was vital to my formative years. I would not be who I am today, nor would I have met my best friend without it. Aside from watching cartoon ponies, I do a lot of illustration work (of mostly cats) in my free time.• Instagram @inuexx

FAQ
What is a zine?
Zine, short for magazine, is traditionally a homemade paper book about any subject you want to make it about! In recent years, it has evolved into amazing community projects that can range anywhere from a digital PDF to a physical book with physical merch. Other names that have been floating around are fanzines, fanbooks, anthologies, artbooks and others. It is essentially a creative project made for fans by fans!Will this zine be physical or digital?
Friendship is Forever will be a free digital zine!Will Equestria Girls be allowed?
This is a great question we will be asking in our Interest Check!Will AUs be allowed?
We would like the primary focus to be the main show and all its seasons, movies, and more. However, we know the amount of creativity this series has nurtured isn't to be taken lightly - so we hope to answer this fully after our Interest Check!How will contributors be compensated?
This is a free digital zine that will be available to download for everypony! As the project is free, contributors will not receive any monetary reimbursement for the project.Can we apply to contribute for more than one position?
Yes, and you could potentially get into the zine with multiple roles. However, you are not guaranteed acceptance of both applications.
