Welcome to Deep Seas! 🦜

Deep Seas is an invite-only, flash zine featuring Bakugou Katsuki and Midoriya Izuku as contributors put them through various pirate-based adventures!

What's a Flash Zine?

A flash zine will have no interest check phase, no applications, and no social media presence until necessary. We won’t announce the zine until we are ready for pre-orders to begin! Much like a “flash mob” or a “big bang,” we plan to take the fandom by storm by releasing information about contributors, pre-orders, previews, and updates of the production and shipping periods only!

Zine Specifications

We aim to create a for-profit A4 physical zine with a problematic digital add-on called Dark Waters! We have 6 writers, 17 page artists, and 3 merch artists.All participants are 18+.Deep Seas will be SFW while Dark Waters will be dynamic-specific with Top!Katsuki and Bottom!Izuku.
