FILM NOIR
a non-profit fan zine dedicated for the character Baxter Ward from Our Life: Beginnings & Always by GB Patch Games. It is a passion project made to celebrate Baxter's birthday on May 19, 2026, and to show off the many lovely MCs intertwined with the character.The zine is completely non-profit and digital. Meaning there is no money involved and or physical shipping, just time, effort, and love. It is also not affiliated with the official GB Patch Game in any way. It is simply a passion project, an art and writing compilation to feature Baxter and MCs.
For queries, the email and twitter account is open!
Details
contributor
Currently, we are considering accepting on both artists and writers into the project. However, there will be various opportunities. Such as that you can be:
For Artists
> An artist that simply submits an existing piece you already have prior to joining, as long as it passes a certain standard fit for a zine OR
> An artist joins and creates their piece throughout the timeframe （the usual zine practice）
For Writers
> A writer can submit character analysis, extended comments on character, and/or flavor text that will be inserted between art pages （given there is nothing insulting / callout / profanity）
> A writer can submit stories like drabbles and short stories （the usual zine practice
Of course, you may opt to do both (ex: artist O and X at the same time) but just to control the number, if you do take both, you can only submit one of each option (submit one existing piece + submit new piece) while if you choose to take only one, you can make two under it (ex: two existing pieces). We will only allow a third submission if you have completed prior pieces mentioned and/or little submissions to the zine.Artist O and Writer O may choose to join or not join the server because they're mostly submitting existing pieces. However, we cannot do that for Artist X and Writer X to keep track of progress here. The O roles are mostly for those who wish to join but don't want to get into a new server or simply want to be part of the project w/o making a new piece.
