World of Warcraft Fanzine Issue #1 - Season of Changes
Warcraft has been an amazing, inspiring Fantasy Setting since the first RTS game in 1994. While "World of Warcraft" is currently celebrating its 20th anniversary, the franchise itself has been around for over 30 years and has inspired countless Fanart, Fanfiction, Music, Poetry, Machinima's, and other content. The fact that the game continues to endure with no signs of slowing down is a testament to its legacy and many people's love for it. Even today, 20 years later, the World of Azeroth is one of the most iconic settings in fantasy fiction, and the people who belong to the fandom are some of the most dedicated people out there.
So, in celebration of all of those people who Warcraft has inspired, we want to try our hand at a new project to create an old-school online Fanzine for fans of the franchise. We want to collect various works of Writing, Art, and even creatively shot Screenshots to show off to other fans. After all, there are millions of Warcraft fans worldwide, and not all of them are on the same server or even on the same continent. So much fan-created content exists to see, read, and explore.
While we're not the first Warcraft Fanzine to be created—as several others are mentioned in our fanzine—we do intend to do our part to add to the fun, help stoke creativity, and uplift writers, artists, and others to improve their skills and show what they're capable of doing.
Within this ebook, you'll find:
- 13 original short stories from many different unique characters.
- 24 fantastic art pieces from some of Warcraft's most talented artists.
- 24 beautiful screenshots that show the beauty of Azeroth as a whole.
- Links to several other Fanzine projects and an up-and-coming podcast.
- 4 versions to download: the FULL version, which has additional art, screenshots, and easter-eggs; The Print-Ready version, which looks like a magazine; the LITE version, which contains just the stories and screenshots; and the Epub version for e-readers.
- Link to a submission form for writers, artists, or anyone else to join the fun on Issue #2.
- A link to a growing Discord Community full of artists, Writers, Streamers, and more.
- Links to various writers and artists from whom to commission.
- Absolutely NO AI.
Warcraft is a fantastic fantasy setting that still has a lot to offer, and it is showing no signs of slowing down. There's so much to see out there, from the official content and fans. Hopefully, the stories, art, and screenshots collected in this issue will also inspire your creativity. We also hope that you enjoy reading, and wish to leave feedback.
See you in Azeroth, my friends!
