FBC Zine

The Admin Team here at the FBC Zine has decided that horror is too scary. We’re worried our readers will never be able to sleep with the lights off ever again if we continue down our current path. So we decided to scratch that idea altogether.

Enter: Pinups and Paninis. 

The FBC Zine will now exclusively feature everyone's favorite eldritch monstrosity, the Former, and its favorite lunchtime treat of paninis. The season of love may have passed in our world, but time is just a construct within the Oldest House! Love transcends all! 

Our contributors will now create pieces featuring the beautiful, hot, and messy relationship between the Former and Panini. Don’t worry, tasteful napkins will be included! 

We hope you’re ready to grill and chill!

🔥 The wait is over! The ritual to lead you on is here at last! 🔥

Contributor Applications for the 2025 FBC Zine: Volume 3 are NOW OPEN! 

This year we have three separate forms for Artists, Writers, and a new category of contributor: Multimedia Contributions. Please be sure to read over each question carefully and look over our Contributor Guidelines document. 

🎨 Artist (Page Artists/Cover Artist/Spot Illustrators) Application

📝 Writer Application

📸 Multimedia Contributor (Cosplay, Photography, Recipes, etc) Application

If you have any issues with submitting an application, PLEASE REACH OUT through the zine’s socials which you can find below:

In general, applications which submit pitches that either do not follow the current zine’s theme, do not abide by the zine’s content rating or guidelines, or are too low effort or vague may be declined. We have made a more detailed pitch guideline document, which we highly encourage you to look over before applying. 

The FBC Zine is not submission based, and applications which attempt to submit previously published finished pieces or works already in progress will be automatically denied. 

Applicants should also keep in mind that while the zine does not have a set number of contributors, we will be trying to diversify the zine’s content to showcase as many unique themes and characters as possible.

For more information on the project, please follow us on our socials!

The FBC Zine will showcase fanworks which fit this year’s theme of horror. We'll have Contributor Applications for artists/writers and a 3rd new Contributor category for fanworks which don't fall under art/writing. We've titled this category “Multimedia Contributions.”

If you apply as an Artist and Writer, you will only be accepted for 1 of the 2. Spot illustrators can also apply for other positions & can be accepted as both. You can apply for any of the above roles and apply as a Multimedia Contributor. At max, you can only have 2 zine roles.

Art: This includes digital and traditional art. This includes but is not limited to page art, short comics, movie posters, etc.  

Writing: This can include but is not limited to fanfiction, poetry, meta essays, scripts, Remedy Games style in-universe documentation, etc.

Multimedia Contributions: This can include but is not limited to traditional photography, LARP style cosplay, fan videos (machinima, original music), themed recipes, etc. We’re looking for creative contributions!
