The Harder The Battle, The Sweeter The Victory
"Victories" is an unofficial, fan-made project centered around the characters from anime "My Hero Academia" in the world of sports, and all the triumphs (and failures) to be found there!
Tennis, hockey, swimming, and E-sports: if you can play it, you can win it! Come and join us as we show how our favorite characters fair when sweet victory is on the line!

What is a zine?
A zine is traditionally a self-published piece of paper media, usually with only a single run. A FanZine is a zine put together about a particular piece of established media, sometimes by a single person and other times by a group. To read more about the history of zines, go HERE
What is this zine?
Victories, a BNHA sports zine, will be a SFW for-profit digital zine featuring BNHA characters and various sports. All participants must be 18+ to contribute to this project as a NSFW PDF add-on can be opted into, called Spoils. Digital and physical merch will also be included.
How do sports come into play?
Works created for Victories should focus on BNHA characters being involved in sports in some way. We welcome professional sports AUs, works centered on games, practices, time spent off the field, etc. as long as sports are the main focus! All sports are included, but if you are unsure, feel free to ask.
The NSFW add-on will be more relaxed; sports can take the bench and relationships can become the main players.
Will this be a digital or physical product?
This will be a digital only project, with the ability to purchase flat merchandise, such as stickers and postcards! There will also be digital merchandise availble.
What are the specs?
The size of the zine will be A4 (210mm x 297mm).
We are planning to take a total of 8 writers, 24 page artists, 4 spot artists, and 4 merch artists, including guests.
Where will the profits of the zine go?
All profits will be split amongst contributors after all contributor bundles and shipping goals have been met.
Will there be romance, or gen. only? NSFW? Ships?
The main zine’s content should be focused on the BNHA characters and sports. All works should err on the side of gen, but implied ships are okay.
There will be a NSFW add-on and it can, of course, be shippy!
How old must I be to participate?
All contributors must be 18 or older at the time of their application. Should a contributor apply and/or be accepted and it is found out they lied about their age they will be removed from the project and forfeit all forms of payout for the project, including copies of the finished product.
What kind of sports will be included?
Any and all sports, including E-Sports, will be permitted in the project based on what contributors are interested in creating.

8 Writers : 1-2 Guests
24 Page Artists : 4 Guests
4 Spot Illustrators : No Guests
4 Merchandise Artists : 1 GuestThere are a total of 33 spots open to applicants.
