Awesome thing that's on my radar (and that should be on yours, too): Animal Crosszine

I first heard about the Animal Crosszine after randomly coming across a tweet by the esteemable Jake Lawrence--who revealed in said tweet that he was working on a submission for this forthcoming Animal Crossing-focused 'zine.



Co-editors Meghan Lands and Justin Woo are pushing for their publication--which they say will be "comprised of comics, stories and fan art celebrating Animal Crossing"--to be in readers' hands by Animal Crossing: New Leaf’s North American release date (June 9).

In the meantime, feast your eyes on a colorized excerpt of Lawrence's contribution (below--taken from the Timecowboy! tumblr) and Daniel Bressette's similarly awesome "Tom Nook cut-out" concoction that can be found over at tinycartridge.com.



For more information on Animal Crosszine, check out its official tumblr at animalcrosszine.tumblr.com.

hahaOh goodness , I wonder if that will include the one short story that gets a bit too real.

I'm not sure what you're talking about Robert, but I have a feeling that I should hope this 'one short story' is included, too :)

I'd love to submit something to this but there are so many talented Animal Crossing fans that I'd never get accepted. Besides, I have to come up with something for the Famicase exhibition at the end of this month too! Definitely hope to get into that.

Don't say that! I'll bet you'd have as good a chance as anyone :) That said, I can understand focusing on the Famicom exhibition. Maybe you can get into the Famicase this year and the Animal Crosszine next week? :)

Anything to do with Animal Crossing is automatically awesome (>.<)

I'm going to have to keep this on MY radar, too...are they accepting public submissions? I'd love to contribute a poem or something...

I can't say I disagree with you, Simon! Although, I might say that some of the Animal Crossing slash fiction that I've heard about (only heard about, I swear!) may not be awesome :P

I don't know, Justin. I think they're accepting submissions from anyone, to be honest. Why not send them an e-mail (or hit them up via Twitter) and find out?
