about
effervescence has two meanings: bubbles that float up in the air or water, a likeness to kanao's fondness for soap bubbles and ramune where she finds her simple joys; and filled with life and vigour, a reflection of tanjirou's sunny and contagious high spirits.
this zine will focus on the idea that every moment spent with you is what makes life beautiful.
pieces of this zine will be presented in a treasure box format.

faqs
effervescence: a tankana zine is the first-ever fanzine revolving around kimetsu no yaiba’s kamado tanjiro and tsuyuri kanao pair. The project is set to be produced by november to december 2021 and shipped out by december 2021 to january 2022.
what is the zine’s theme?
the zine will focus on the idea that "every moment spent with you is what makes life beautiful". It will be presented as a treasure box—a collection of moments and memories shared by both tanjiro and kanao over their years of togetherness. Pieces for this zine will primarily be set in the taisho/canon-compliant era, the kimetsu gakuen era, and in modern AUs.
literary pieces will range from stories and anecdotes, to poems, to letters and the like. art pieces can be photographs of time spent together, comic strips, and similar. merchandise and their designs will also adhere to the overarching theme.
.
how will the zine be presented?
Ii will be presented in both a physical and digital format, A5-sized. the language used will be english.
.
what will the zine be rated?
this will be an SFW zine. all work will be for the consumption of the general public, with a PG-13 maximum rating. similarly, problematic tropes (such as minor-adult, student-teacher, incestual, and abusive relationships) and the like will not be allowed.
as such, contributors as young as 13 years old are welcome to join. this is, however, the minimum age we’ll allow as part of our team. the age restriction is in accordance with the minimum age requirement imposed by most social media accounts.
.
how much will the zine cost?
the cost of the zine will be released at the later time. we will be creating digital and physical bundles for pre-orders in the fourth quarter of the year.
the zine will be partly for-profit and partly for-charity, split in a 30-70 ratio, respectively.
.
which organization will this project be donating to?
as of the moment, we have prospects as to which organization to donate to. the moderators will decide on the organization and release this to the public before contributor applications.
.
where will this be hosted?
we have set up a discord server to host this project. the link to this will be sent to contributors during the acceptance phase.

yes, there will be guest contributors. once the mod team is complete, we’ll start inviting our guests.
.
how many contributors will you be accepting?
the final number of merchandise artists, page artists, and writers will be dependent on the number of applicants. the total team will have a maximum of 40 members.
.
can i include other characters?
of course! we acknowledge that tanjiro and kanao’s relationship may flourish because of the characters around them. as long as your work has tanjiro and kanao as its main characters, and follows the general theme, all other characters are welcome.
.
what universe will pieces of the zine be set in?
the zine will primarily be set in three universes: taisho/canon-compliant, kimegaku, and modern AU. should a contributor want to take the theme and universe and put their own special twist to their piece, such will be welcome.
.
how long will the project last?
concept check-in will be on june 27 while the final check-in will be on october 10, 2021. more details can be found in the schedule portion of this file.

only after the writer’s ideas have been approved will the collaboration pairs be set. we will allow for a week for writers and artists to pair themselves up on the initiative of either the artist or the writer. the moderators will only pair contributors up if they do not manage to find a pair within the allotted time.
