Fodlan Chromatica
A Chromatic FE3H Zine
About
The goal of this zine is to celebrate the characters of Fire Emblem: Three Houses and the world in which it is set.
We want to feature Fodlan and the surrounding areas throughout the seasons. Whether it’s a character visiting their hometown during a school break, travelling the world after the events of the game, or maybe on a diplomatic mission during the war, there are endless opportunities to show landscape, culture, and your favorite heroes through a colored lens in this project.
This Zine will resemble what is known as a Rainbow or Spectrum Artbook. As one turns through the pages, a rainbow of scenes plays before them in chromatic order. Pieces, poetry, and prose featuring a main color will gradually morph into the next hue on the spectrum.
Artwork is not expected to be monochromatic or analagous, though those themes are encouraged. Using limited palettes, contributors will create scenes. The most-used color of that scene will be the color featured. For example, if a page features teal, pink, and purple, but there is mostly teal on the page, then that would be the color featured.
FAQ
How old do you have to be to apply to this zine?
Applicants must be 18 years of age or older.
Can I pick a Color?
Applicants are asked to pick their preferred three colors they would like to base their palette off of. This will be your main color. Alternatively, applicants may opt for the moderators to pick a color for them. The moderators will assign you one of your preferred three colors (out of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple). Applicants are welcome to select hues/shades of their assigned color (for example if assigned red an applicant can choose to use pink most prominently in their piece, if blue is selected teal and cyan are options, etc.)
Are there any off-limits colors?
We ask that contributors refrain from featuring white, black, gray, and browns as their most prominent color.
What are you expecting for pitches?
We want to show the variety of Fodlan and the surrounding lands through the seasons. Whether it's an Officer's Academy student returning home for winter break, one of the lords on a diplomatic mission during the war, or your favorite character travelling Fodlan to fulfill their dreams after the events of the game, we welcome all pitches. Pitches planning to depict unique culture, customs, architecture, or clothing are also welcome. Make your wishes come true! We will not be selecting based on pitches, but rather around color. Pitch evaluations will come after contributors have joined the discord server.
Will writing and text in the zine be in color?
No, your poetry and prose will be in standard black print, however you can paint colorful descriptions as vivid as you like! These pages may have color accents on them relevant to your theme.
Are LGBT/body diversity headcanons allowed?
Absolutely! As long as the character is recognizable to their canon counterpart. (Changing Marianne into a green ogre that lives in a swamp is probably not a good idea.)
Are AU's allowed?
We would like to avoid modern AU's and stay close to canon.
Is NSFW allowed in this zine?
Depending on how the interest check goes, there may be a NSFW digital companion zine to go with Seasons of Warfare.
What rating is allowed in Fodlan Chromatica?
Please keep it PG-13.
Is this zine for charity or profit?
This is a for-profit zine.
