EDIT: I have been busy putting together a “FanZine” on photoshop. It was a personal pet project of mine and was good fun. The magazine is still in a long development phase with changes and some possible proofreading but it will be published as a file and a PDF once I have finished the entire magazine. Enjoy!🙂
What is a FanZine?
A FanZine is a blend of fan and magazine as a non-professional and non-official publication produced by enthusiasts of a particular cultural phenomenon (such as a literary or musical genre) for the pleasure of others who share their interest.
Is the magazine weekly, monthly, or yearly?
Matoran Universe: The BIONICLE FanZine would either be yearly, monthly, or weekly, depending on which direction it would go as this is the first edition with many character biographies, possible in-depth information, and a visualised timeline detailing the history of the BIONICLE Universe.
