An upcoming digital-only charity project for the 20th anniversary of Roblox! This fanzine is a celebration of Roblox fandom, both classic and modern. We invite artists, writers, essayists, cosplayers, and creators of all sorts to express their love for the games and culture that make the platform special!!⚠️ We are an unofficial fan project, and not affiliated with Roblox.

    LEE

    ORGANIZER, GRAPHICS, FORMATTING ✦ they/he

    Hey! My name's Lee, I'm a graphic designer from Canada and I've been doing zines for the better part of six years now. Most recently, I've worked on For Real!? (Ryuji Zine), and Another Tomorrow (ASL Zine)!I started playing Roblox in the sixth grade (pour one out for my lost 2015 account......) and as of recent have been rediscovering my love for the game through online fandom! I hope this zine can be a place for folks to express the same love for Roblox that I have :)My favourite Roblox game right now is Bad Things!

    HANNAH SPOONS

    ASSISTANT ORGANIZER
    ✦ any pronouns

    Hi I'm Hannah and I'm here to help! I'm a comic book artist and printmaker, and I loveeee doing zines. I've done around 30 in all kinds of roles from artist to head mod.If there's one thing about me it's that im always in that damn spreadsheet.

    MARIA

    INTERN DISCORD MOD ✦ she/her

    Hi, my name is Maria! I'm also Lee's girlfriend of 3 years! (editor's note: <3)I technically started playing years ago, way back in like 3rd grade cause a kid reccomended it to me, but I didn't understand the website. Few years later, I ended up getting hooked for years, from around I'd say 2011 to 2014.I recently got back into it, partly cause of friends, but mostly because of Lee's interest rekindling in the platform.My interests revolve around gaming, and I dabble in writing and drawing! Speaking of which, I can't really think of a favorite roblox game. But if I had to choose, probably Survive The Disasters.

    MORE TO COME...

    ABOUT THE ZINE

    This project is a love letter to Roblox, aiming to gather together creatives of all kinds that have been inspired and found community in Roblox. Been playing since 2008? Made an account just this year? All are welcome here!!!By the 20th anniversary of the game (September 1st, 2026), we're gonna have a super cool e-book to read, full of all kinds of work and made with love! Not to mention it's supporting a great cause :]

    Currently, we are on our Interest Check phase! If you're interested in this zine, it would mean a lot if you'd take a few minutes to give us your opinions so we can better decide the direction of the project!

    OUR CHARITY

    Our charity of choice for the zine is the Nation Center of Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), which does valuable work combatting issues of kidnapped children, child trafficking, online child exploitation, and more.Via their website:“The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children is a private, non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation whose mission is to help find missing children, reduce child sexual exploitation, and prevent child victimization. NCMEC works with families, victims, private industry, law enforcement, and the public to assist with preventing child abductions, recovering missing children, and providing services to deter and combat child sexual exploitation.”

    FAQ

    Q: So what's a fanzine anyway?
    A: It's a fan-made collaborative book full of art, writing, and more based around a specific fandom topic! We are using the term a liiiiittle bit loosely here, as our project is digital and not a physical book, so it will contain content you may not expect in a book! Like music and videos :D
    Q: Will the zine be physical or digital?
    A: Digital! We want to allow as many people as possible in, and maximize our potential donation by cutting out the production process.
    Q: What types of content will be featured?
    All kinds! The zine itself is going to be fully-digital, and as such will be able to accept many more types of contributors. If you have a skill that you feel will be neat addition to the zine, we are willing to consider it!
    Topics-wise, we want to include a good mix of fandom content (as in, content for specific games on the Roblox platform) and general Roblox-related content.Q: Is there any content that isn't allowed?
    A: Please see our Content Guidelines! The zine's age rating is PG-13.
    Q: Who can apply to the zine?
    A: Anyone and everyone! We want to open our project to as many creatives as we can, including contributions you may not commonly see in zines, such as music and non-fiction work.
    Depending on interest, we may have to limit applications, simply because we need to keep the scope of the project manageable for the mod team. However, our goal is to run a zine that is very beginner-friendly and packed full of content! Even if it’s your first project of this kind, you are more than welcome to apply :)Q: Will contributors be compensated?
    A: Contributors will recieve a free copy of the zine as thanks for their work, but all money raised from sales of the project will be dontated to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC).
    Q: Is there an age requirement?
    A: Because all contributors are required to join the project Discord server, all contributors must be 13 or older.
    Q: Can i work with another artist?
    A: Yes! Collabs are allowed between artists, as well as artists teaming up with other creatives. If you have somebody (or multiple) you already have in mind to collab with, feel free to apply as a group, or mention each other in your respective applications!
    Q: Is ship content allowed?
    A: Yes, if it is relevant to the theme, of course! We will not accept ships involving minors x adult characters, incest, or real people, for the comfort of all involved.
    Q: Who are the noob and guest?
    A: Those are our mascots, Nora (she/her) and Kit (he/him) :D

    CONTENT GUIDELINES

    The zine is rated PG-13. As such, some content will of course be disallowed, but we will try our best to keep the guidelines as non-restrictive as we can!Sexual Content: Sexual content will not be allowed under any circumstances. This includes: nudity (even artistic), depiction of sex acts, innuendo, and suggestive/evocative posing of characters.Gore: Do not fret Roblox horror enjoyers, blood is allowed! Extreme gore, however, is not. We may take this guideline on a case-by-case basis. Rule of thumb: if its allowed in a marvel movie, its probably okay for the zine.Potentially triggering depictions of blood and injury will be given a content warning at the front of the zine.Shipping: Ship content is allowed! However, we will not accept ships involving minors x adult characters, incest, or real people, for the comfort of all involved.Swearing: Swearing is allowed! We likely won't need to put our foot down about cussing in works unless its excessive. Slurs are not allowed under any circumstances.Drama: For non-fiction works (articles, analysis, etc), we will not allow discussion of current Roblox controversies involving the platform, users, or developers. Discusson of historical controversies and events will be allowed on a case-by-case basis.Generative AI: Use of generative AI is not permitted. Contributors caught using AI in work for the zine will be removed.

    MAILING LIST

    Our humble mailing list will keep you updated on the project if you are interested!Pros: You'll get important dates, see WIPs of the zine and EXCLUSIVE SNEAK PEEKS!!!!!!!Cons: You have to listen to Lee yap. BUT I SWEAR ITS WORTH THE SACRIFICE!!!!!!!!
