Current stage: CREATION PERIOD

About

Tres Elegant is a for-profit Spy X Family fanzine inspired by vintage ads.Although the series doesn't have a specific time period, the context places it around the 1960s. We are aiming to create a zine with ads for food, fashion, or other products featuring beloved SxF characters in the style of European/American ads in the Art Deco style that was popular starting in the 20th century! Writing pieces will include product reviews/endorsements by characters, interviews, and more! Check out our style guide moodboard for examples of the aesthetic we are aiming for!Special thanks to Glazed Moon (a Vintage Ads themed Genshin Impact Zine) for inspiring us with this theme! Their preorders are already closed, but keep an eye out for their leftover sales!

FAQ

General
Q: What is a zine?
A: A zine (or more specifically in this case, a fanzine) is a collection of art created by fans separate from the original creator.Q: Will there be manga spoilers?
A: Yes! All anime and manga content will be allowed in this zine.Q: Are ships allowed?
A: We will not be allowing romantic ships for this zine. You can choose to have characters interacting, but no explicit shipping (such as kissing) is allowed.Q: Will the zine be SFW or NSFW?
A: We will not be allowing any NSFW works, as we intend this zine to be suitable for all ages. Since there will not be any shipping, sexual content is out of the question. Furthermore, graphic depictions of gore or violence are prohibited, though the contributors are allowed to include angst or mild violence in their works if they wish.Q: Will there be international shipping?
A: Yes! Pricing will be released when pre orders begin.Extra Note: Applicants who create or support offensive content (ie. racism, homophobia, explicit content of minors, etc.) will not be accepted. We are firm with our stance and will not be answering further questions on it. The Mod team also retains the right to dismiss contributors for violating any of the zine guidelines. These rules are put in place because our zine will also include minors as a part of our contributor team, and we have to ensure the safety of minors.Contributors
Q: How many contributors will be selected?
A: We are looking for: 25 page artists, 5 merch artists, and 6 writers
Note: in addition, we will be inviting 4 guest page artists, 1 guest cover artist, and 1 guest writer for a total of 42 contributors.Q: What does the theme ‘vintage ads’ include?
A: Pieces should reflect the style of European/American ads in the Art Deco style that was popular in the 20th century! Check out our style guide moodboard for examples of the aesthetic we are looking for! Page and merch artists are not required to copy the realistic style of the pieces in the moodboard. Furthermore, we acknowledge that the implied time period of the show may connect to sensitive topics such as war, propaganda, and non-inclusive language. Contributors are prohibited from creating content that fall under those categories. More information on our creation rules will be available soon.Q: Can I apply for more than one position?
A: Yes, but you can only be picked for one.Q: What will writers be creating?
A: Currently, we are planning to have writing pieces include product reviews/endorsements by various characters, interviews, or other types of writing that you might find in a lifestyle magazine.Q: Is traditional art accepted?
A: Yes, as long as you are able to scan your work in high quality/300 DPI.Q: Will you be sending out rejection emails?
A: Yes! If you apply to be a contributor, we will contact you by email to let you know our decision.Have more questions? Shoot us a dm on Twitter or Instagram or ask on our Retrospring! (all linked below)
