The Konbart Zine 2024 Contributor Applications are now open! This nonprofit zine is a celebration of fanwork centering around pairing DC’s Superboy and Impulse. Please fill out this form if you’re interested in participating in the project—We’re taking all kinds of artists, including but not limited to digital artists, writers, fiber artists, sculptors, cosplayers and more! We would love to showcase your Konbart work.

Applicants do not need to include Konbart in their sample work, it is more important that you showcase your ability to show two (or more) characters interacting. Please keep in mind that the work must be your own, original work and not AI generated or copied from another source. All applicants should be 18 during the work period. If you are interested in the project but will be turning 18 after the application period, please contact either @nopes-and-dreams or @radioactive-earthshine so that we can discuss the possibility of your inclusion in the project at a later date.

Konbart zine!!

Let's go Superpulse fans! For more information, questions, and a link to the contributor application form, head to @konbartzine

The zine will showcase fanwork celebrating Bart Allen and Kon-El as a pairing, whether that be a romantic, intimate, or queerplatonic relationship (or some combination of the above.) Applications will be open until April 11, we're welcoming a spectrum of creative work from writing to art to crochet to cosplay, and we'd love to showcase your work! Your application samples do NOT need to be Konbart related.

For writer's truth or dare!

🪐 ⇢ name three good things going on in your life right now

🎨 ⇢ link your favourite piece of fanart and explain why you like it

🍦 ⇢ name three good things about a character you hate

🪐 ⇢ name three good things going on in your life right now

Genuinely enjoying my writing

Genuinely enjoying working on the Konbartzine and planning for many other future fan projects

I feel valued and appreciated at my job

🎨 ⇢ link your favourite piece of fanart and explain why you like it

One of my favorites (I don't have a favorite) would be the piece @nopes-and-dreams did for me with Vril laying in flowers post patricide. 🍦 ⇢ name three good things about a character you hate

I don't hate many characters? But right now I am immensely displeased with Wally so

He's overcome a lot of trauma and he's used his anger in a constructive way to help others.

I love how self aware he is - he knows when he's being a dick, wish he'd apologize for it more.

He's genuinely fun.

Writers Truth or Dare!

#thanks ava! ✨

Hello, thanks for the ask! If the first zine goes well and it seems like interest is there for another, there may be another Konbart zine next year.

Hi! Contributor applicant here just wondering what email you'll be contacting us from? My emails have a habit of getting devoured by the mountain of unread ones.

Thank you for reaching out! Everyone will be contacted from [email protected]!

Standees are freestanding, two dimensional figures. They’re often used on desks and tables. Keychains, in this context, are two dimensional acrylic objects that have a key ring attached and can be used to hopefully keep your keys together.

Hi! I am super excited for this zine!!!

I am not sure if you have answered this elsewhere, if you have I couldn’t find it, but I was wondering if there were a certain number of contributors you were looking for? Such as a certain number of contributors total, or a certain number of contributors per role?

Additionally, can potential contributors apply for more than one role (such as both writer and artist), and if so, can they be selected for multiple roles, or will they only be selected for one?

Finally, it is my understanding that further information about contributor applications will be released as a part of the application document. I understand if you cannot answer this, or if it will be answered later, but what are the main elements you are looking for in an application for each role? For example, are you looking for technical skill from artists, or are you looking more for creative ideas and ability to complete a piece within the time frame? Is there anything specific in an application that you are looking for, and is there anything specific that you would immediately turn down an application for or do not want to see in an application?

Thanks in advance for answering my questions, and again, I am so looking forward to this zine!!! I swear, it is living rent free in my head, I have been super excited for it since it was announced. Thank you for organizing the zine, I know a lot of hard work is going into this behind the scenes, and I appreciate it!!! <3

Mod Orla here! We're just as excited as you are!

As for your questions we are happy to answer them! Keep in mind, as with all Zines, all things are subject to change just depending on variable factors. This is a niche and a rare pair so there are some things that we cannot solidly say until we SEE the results and completed applications for ourselves.

1.) I was wondering if there were a certain number of contributors you were looking for? Such as a certain number of contributors total, or a certain number of contributors per role?

Answer: At this time, we do not have a set limit on contributors, or contributions - most Zines host around 30-40 contributors and our interest check supports this range. Once we get in our contributor applications we will have a better scope of how many pieces we can anticipate.

2.) ... can potential contributors apply for more than one role (such as both writer and artist), and if so, can they be selected for multiple roles, or will they only be selected for one?

Answer: We are definitely welcoming people to apply for multiple roles! Once your application is accepted and you are invited to participate in this Zine, we then will have open-pitches for what each contributor wants to contribute to the Zine which then will be approved/rejected. Keep in mind, we want our contributors to work on one piece at a time and to complete their piece before moving on to their approved additional piece. Writer/Artists may also have the ability to do their own comic, or illustrate a scene from their fic, or someone else's fic if they are open to do so.

3.) ... what are the main elements you are looking for in an application for each role? For example, are you looking for technical skill from artists, or are you looking more for creative ideas and ability to complete a piece within the time frame?

Answer: We are looking for enthusiasm, creativity and ability to create pieces centered on more than one person - we are not looking for Zine veterans or specific art/writing 'styles' but are most interested in the ability to create and finish pieces focused on two people that are cohesive and would translate well into the role(s) that the contributor is interested in. Ideally, we would want to see examples showing two people interacting in some way. For merch artists we are looking for art styles that would translate well into potential merchandise etc.

4.) ... is there anything specific that you would immediately turn down an application for or do not want to see in an application?

Answer: Any application that has content created with the use of AI or generated content will be immediately turned down. We will not accept AI "Artists/Writers" as contributors for this project.

Thank you so much for your enthusiasm and questions!

Keep an eye out for the link for Contributor Applications coming tomorrow - March 11th!

Have you decided if this is a free digital zine, or a purchasable physical zine with physical merchandise? In addition, will you be implementing stretch goals for physical zines?

Hello and thanks for your ask! We will be providing a free digital version of the zine as well as a purchasable, non-profit hard copy version of the zine. The 18+ supplemental zine will only be available for purchase in hard copy. There will be merchandise options available--at a minimum, we will have bundles which include keychains and stickers, possibly buttons. Other merchandise such as pins and prints will be stretch goals. Enamel pins are a high minimum order quantity merchandise option so the stretch goal for enamel pins will be correspondingly high.
