It brings me great joy to announce that The X-Files Fanfic Exchange has teamed up with Philefest to curate a 2023 convention-exclusive fanzine to celebrate 30 years of X-Philes!
Are you interested in contributing new fan fiction or fan art? Check out the video and info sheet below!
Please send your submissions to [email protected] with “Philefest Submission” in the subject line
The submission deadline is April 15th
We can’t wait to see what you all come up with! 👽🛸💚 @philefestmsp
We're working on a Zine that shows some love to our favorite Four Star units in OCTOPATH Traveler: Champions of the continent. It'll talk about why we love them and what makes them special to us!
This is going to be a simple zine that calls back to the original meaning of the word "zine." It's not going to be an expensive anthology, with fancy art and stories. It's not going to be a professionally printed work. It's going to be simple, barely decorated, and free! Zines are supposed to be fun to make and read, so our goal is to have fun and publish something fun out to the world!
Anyone can join the zine! The requirements are simple: We only need a paragraph or two for the four star you love! Tell us why you love them, or what your favorite skills about them are, or why you used them so much, or all of the above! Bonus if you attach a scribble or sketch of your fave or your current build for them! You can do more than one character, by the way--up to four! And since everyone loves characters for different ways and reasons, duplicate entries are welcome!
Just send it in via submission or ask, and we'll tell you when we get it! The deadline is the end of February 2024, so you've got lots of time to think of what to say!
Here's a pair of examples below, to help you get started. They're more guidelines than an actual format you have to follow--just make sure to keep your language clean--or well, as clean as it is in the game!
You can go nice and long, or simple and short. Either way, be sincere and honest and loving and kind!
We look forward to your submissions, and we're excited to get this project underway!
