We have a nice, round total of 30 artists and 20 writers that will all be included in the digital version of the zine. Only 9 artists and 8 writers are guaranteed in the print though we’ve got stretch goals to include more. This list will get updated as we get bios finalized.

About Stretch Goals

Because we want to keep the zine affordable for y'all to actually buy, we had to be conservative about how many contributors we let into the printed version. Those guaranteed to print are all we can fit at the price we intend to sell the books, but we’re accepting donations and will be selling merch to raise funds so we can print more pages. If we reach our goals we’ll be able to let more contributors in, even though that means the books will cost us more to print than we’ll be charging y’all to buy them.

These are our current stretch goals:

Goal 1: Sell at least 50 copies of the printed zine We fully expect to reach this goal given the response we’ve gotten on our interest form, but you never know. This goal allows more artists and writers into the printed zine.

Goal 2: Raise at least $500 in Ko-fi donations We will probably reach this goal. We’re already over 30% of the way there. This goal allows even more artists and writers into the printed zine.

Goal 3: Raise at least $1000 in Ko-fi donations We’re really not expecting to make it here and don’t want to get anyone’s hopes up, so this goal doesn’t let anyone new in but gives writers already in the print version a few more pages and gets us closer to Goal 5.

Goal 4: Sell at least 100 zine bundles (zine with merch) We really hope to make it here because this goal will allow us to have more and better merch, as well as dramatically reducing the cost of printing which gets us closer to Goal 5.

Goal 5: Make enough money to cover the cost We’re not gonna put a number to this because it depends on too many variables - but when orders close and we go into production we will print everything if we can afford it. No promises though, because we’re gonna have to sell a lot of merch to reach this goal.

Lance took Allura on her first Earth shopping and she was amused that you could add patches to your purchased clothes! They got matching outfits and they did each other’s designs. Allura placed too many patches on Lance’s but he was busy smiling at how much Allura was having fun. They’re absolutely just the cutest! (°◡°♡) Redbubble | Ko-fi

@galaxykidge @tog84 See what you made me do?! :p

Chapter 1

Krolia regarded her son curiously.  He did this every night; once he thought she was asleep he removed the cuff from his Blades armour, slid his sleeve up, and used an inked stylus to mark his arm.  She was never sure if he were writing, or drawing, but it was one of the few times he removed his armour, other than to bathe, and they did that separately.  She had caught glimpses of his arm but never noticed anything out of the ordinary, not even slightly.  Eventually she decided to get an answer she had to go direct to the source.

Fighting The Human Race

Fandom: Voltron Legendary Defenders

Rating: PG (swearing)

Word Count: 967

Summary: The Galra have encountered many strange species. Just not as strange as this one.

(a small thing i wanted to get out of my system. i domt know what to do with it or how to add onto it so heres all i could come up with for this season hfjskfbm)

-

The Galra were… on edge.

Most were expecting the usual invade and conquer. The aliens under their occupation would cry and resist, or if they were lucky they would find that these ‘humans’, as they were called, would make their jobs easy and surrender.

What they found… was a mix.

While most of the alien race surrendered after their invasion and round up, the fact that some humans didn’t even bat an eye at their stripped freedom had some of the Galra a bit shaken.

“Hey! Tall, purple, and hairy! Ever tried to get down with a human before!?” One human had called out. And if it weren’t for their lecherous grin, or their friends following whistling and jeers, the guard in charge would have never guessed that they were asking for sexual activity.

It wasn’t only rare for different species to mate and breed, but it was also looked down upon. Cultural differences usually clashed so violently that the offspring of mixed species most often than not led terrible lives.

Yet here were these humans, their entire civilization being taken over; and they called out to their oppressors for sex.

And it didn’t stop there. The humans just became more and more strange as the weeks went on.

They found out that humans were a horrifying race.

Fights broke out in the camps often, and the threat of taking their lives became less and less effective the longer they stayed in captivity.

One Commander even reported a human pressing their forehead to the blaster when threatened and screaming, “You want to kill me so bad?! Then do it motherfucker! What are you waiting for, pull the fucking trigger and get it over with you purple bitch!”

It had been the first time the Commander had ever hesitated to take a life, and it was a mistake when he did.

Humans, it appeared, were not ones to fear death so easily as some. Yes, there were the cowardly ones. Weak, and frail, or just slimey enough to sell others out to live, but the majority made the Galra hesitate and question themselves.

After many humans were put to death as examples, the fighting amongst themselves did diminish, but the anger seemed to shift from themselves to the Galra instead.

It was with some sort of horrific awe that the Galra working in the labor camps gained some semblance of respect for the human race.

A report had been sent in about a small work camp based near one of the Earth’s larger cities; about the absolute bloodbath that had occurred.

Apparently, the humans working their had all agreed to rebel during their scheduled food break, and while the humans had been weakened with hard labor and lack of sleep, the Galra stationed there had been understaffed and lazy.

There were video clips of humans tearing apart tables and chairs to create blunt weapons. One had rushed a guard with nothing but a metal thermos and had stolen their rifle when they had chucked it at the guards head. There had also been humans in the kitchen who had rigged the oven to explode with nothing but what was available to them. But the most blood chilling of all was when the human with the stolen weapon had jumped up onto a table and cried out, “Victory or Death!” in their native tongue and proceeded to shoot out the rest of the guards with uncoordinated rage.

Most of the humans based there had escaped in the aftermath. The few drones that arrived shortly were only able to take out a few stragglers that stayed to give the rest of the humans time to get away.

The incident didn’t fade from the few Galra who witnessed the event however. The blood curdling, spittled cry of, “Victory or Death!” in a language not their own, but could be translated perfectly from their universal communicators made the humans seem much more terrifying than they had been before.

Even after the suppression of all the human rebellions, the underlying fear of the humans didn’t die down.

It wasn’t even their ability to kill that made the Galra’s blood freeze. It was the lengths that these aliens were ready to go to. They had only ever seen this type of tenacity from Galra generals and higher-ups.

It was near barbaric what these humans were willing to do to survive, and the worst part was, was that according to the reports, these aliens were merely civilians. Apparently, it didn’t matter where or how a human had lived; their instinctual drive to survive and protect could bring down the less of them given the right tools.

It was no wonder the Champion had survived so long in the arena. If he had grown in a civilization of these mongrels it wasn’t a surprise that he not only kept the championship title for so long, but escaped the clutches of the druids and guards as well.

Voltron was near invincible if it was wielded by these aliens. If the humans in the work camps were bad, the Voltron paladins, who were military trained, could probably destroy planets if they so chose to.

Yet they fought for what they loved, for what they cared for.

And that was the mistake of the Galra wasn’t it. Every time something a human loved or cared for was threatened; be it their own lives, their loved ones, their belongings, a human automatically shifted its entire world view into erasing the threat. Or more appropriately, they sacrificed without hesitation to eliminate everything in their path to save what they loved.

It was this, the Galra realized as their ships and leader were obliterated, that made the humans so terrifying. And what made Voltron and the human race so impossible to defeat.

Kidge fluff

Copy-pasted from the Kidge chat so please excuse any errors and the choppyness in spacing 😅

AU where the Holts and Shiroganes are close family friends.

When the Shiroganes announce the adoption of an orphan teen the Holts are some of the first to know.

They’re thrilled to meet the new addition even when Shiro forewarns them of his adoptive brother’s personal rules 1) No touching of any kind. 2) The jacket stays no matter what. 3) Don’t ask why.

Keith is introduced to the Holts, still remaining his quiet self when introduced. No one offered him a handshake or hug, a simple wave did the trick.

It’s discovered that Keith will be attending the same school as the younger of the Holt siblings, Katie. They’re introduced to eachother- but it isn’t the friendship anyone was expecting.

The two are extremely awkward with eachother. Neither really wanting to speak first. Eventually Colleen tells Katie to show Keith her room and they disappear upstairs for a while.

Katie unenthusiasticly shows him around with a short tour. Lucky for both of them, the Shiroganes leave.

Soon enough school starts again. Katie and Keith don’t have very many classes together besides gym. It’s during one of the days that they played a group sport together that Katie happened to spot none other than Keith. Only cornered by the group of local assholes lead by James Griffin. Even though they rarely spoke, and she would be questioned by her close friends Lance and Hunk for leaving them for a practical stranger she made it over just in time to watch James and his friends force Keith to the ground and steal his jacket. The whole time they spat insults at him. Keith had had enough and did his best to fight off the attackers. Katie yelled giving Keith the distraction he needed to nail James in the nose. The group backed off as Katie looked at Keith just in time to see him pull his jacket back on.

She didn’t miss the burns and scars that littered his arms, though.

For the rest of the day after she returned home, Katie couldn’t push Keith out of her mind. Were the marks self-inflicted? Possibly. Was he being abused by the Shiroganes? No way. She did however recall overhearing a few conversations over the phone before Keith showed up. She never paid full attention but she remembered hearing something about mistreatment? Was Keith previously abused? The last option seemed most likely. It explained not only the marks in his arms but also his lack of interest in physical contact.

After that she’s able to distinguish him in crowds easier. She finds out they have lunch together and invites him to sit with her, Hunk, and Lance.

Keith and Lance don’t get along well, but they all agree that Keith is an okay guy. Katie starts talking to him more and more. Before long they’re hanging out at eachother’s houses. Katie doesn’t question his rules, nor does she try to test his limits.

There was however one time Katie was a little over excited and accidentally hugged him. He froze up and she endlessly apologised. Even years later she feels guilty for it.

By the time they reach 11th grade, they reach a different level. Although Keith’s rules never wavered since 7th grade.

It was the night of prom when her date left her and she walked out in the pouring rain. Keith followed her as she cried. Wordlessly his hand grabbed hers. He takes her back to his house, just down the street from her’s.

His parents are out for dinner and Shiro doesn’t notice them come in as he works from the computer.

It’s only when they’re upstairs in the quiet sanctuary of his room that she asks him if everything was okay. He’d never grabbed her before. In fact she’d never felt the touch of his hand.

She’s dressed in front of him before so changing out of her soaked dress was no big deal as Keith found something that would fit her. He passed her a shirt and pair of boxers from the drawer.

Keith had remained silent when she asked him if he was okay. He’d been quiet ever since they started their trek back to his house.

They sat facing eachother on the edge of his bed. Everything was silent apart from the constant patter of rain and occasional roll of thunder.

Their hands slowly entertwined. They put their full trust into one another. Katie made sure not to move fast, this was new to both of them.

She slowly unbuttoned his shirt and he slid it off with ease. For the first time Katie could see the full extent of his scars. She traced a few lightly with her fingertips. They leaned into eachother, their faces barely millimeters apart.

Keith kissed her gently. His hand cupping her face. Neither of them knew how or when it happened but Katie woke up with her arms wrapped around Keith’s torso with her face buried into the crook of his neck.

She didn’t freak out. She felt safe with him, they had each other’s full trust. In the four years that she had known him this was the first time he’d opened up completely to her, most likely to anyone. They’d seen the most vulnerable sides if both each other and themselves.

Katie snuggled closer to him hearing his soft sigh of contentness. A wave of comfortable warmth washed over her and they didn’t get up for several hours.
