ABOUT

Inspired by the 22 Tarot Major Arcana cards, Arcana is an upcoming SFW fanzine featuring a curated collection of art and written works - each piece corresponding to a Tarot card.We strive to present a mystical and emotional zine that explores various facets of both individual Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint characters and their relationships through the paradigm of Tarot.Arcana is a fan-made, for-charity project. All proceeds from the sale will be donated to ChildFund Korea.

FOR-CHARITY

Arcana is a 100% for-charity zine, meaning that the mods and contributors do not make any profit. All post-production funds will be donated to the non-profit ChildFund Korea, a branch of ChildFund International, which is committed to ensuring that children in Korea can grow up in a healthy and safe environment.Its parent organization scores 84.11 on Charity Navigator, with 97.00 in Accountability & Transparency. A financial statement of this donation will be shared at the end of the zine both via email with contributors and on the zine’s social media platforms.The organization in it's own words: "ChildFund Korea addresses the four categories of child rights (survival, protection, development, and participation) set out in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, so that children in Korea can grow up in a healthy and safe environment."

FAQ

Q: WILL THE ZINE CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR LATER EVENTS, THE ENDING, AND/OR THE EPILOGUE OF ORV?
A: Due to the zine’s theme and selected character cast, we expect the identity of characters such as SP and OD to be revealed. Therefore, the zine will not be spoiler free.Upon production period, we will be able to elaborate and provide a more specific spoiler warning tag (e.g. spoiler up until chapter XXX, spoiler SP identity).Q: SHIPPING/ROMANTIC PAIRING CONTENT AND SP/OD
A: As concluded through the interest check period, 91.1% of responses would still purchase the zine, regardless of if it includes shipping or not. 48.5% of these responses would prefer if shipping content would be included.
Therefore, we have decided to allow established canon ships and implied fan shipping of romantic pairings.All (implied) (fan) ships that involve characters that are minors in canon will not be apart of this zine. Separately, due to the polarizing opinions around SP/OD, we've decided we will not be including content for it within the zine.We apologize if this decision is disappointing.Q: IS THERE AN AGE LIMIT FOR WHO CAN JOIN?
A: Yes. Despite the zine being SFW, contributors are expected to be 16+ since personal information will be requested for shipping purposes.Q: WILL GOODIES BE COMPLETELY SEPERATE OR CAN WE BUY BUNDLES AT A DISCOUNTED PRICE?
A: Currently, all merchandise is going to be sold in bundles. However, if everything goes well we may be able to offer merch a la carte (sold separately). It depends on how much of a demand exists for singular merch going into the preorder stage.
