Welcome to the Zine O’Biology

A multi-fandom Star Trek Zine.

Do you have strong opinions on Vulcan fra’als, Cardassian tails, or how the heck Trill symbionts reproduce? We want to hear from you!

The Zine O’Biology is a fictional comparative xenobiology academic journal set in the Star Trek universe. If you’ve always wanted to wax eloquent for up to 3000 words about your theories on alien biology, welcome to your new home!

We want all your theories about all your favorite aliens! This is a friendly but competitive academic journal where the content of every paper is a little bit suspicious (is this paper based on rumor or fact? What is the methodology?) and some competing authors leave snarky comments on one another’s work. So just like a real academic journal, except ours features the Great Green Anthurium.

We welcome xenobiology articles on all Star Trek aliens from all series!

The final format will be a PDF that you can scroll at your leisure or print at home in order to have a physical copy of the Zine. (This way there is no money involved.)

ALIEN BIOLOGY ARTICLES

How do Andorian genders work? Are Cardassians actually lizards? Why do Klingons have so many redundant organs? What’s the biological purpose of Bajoran nose ridges? What’s the best cement mix for emergency surgery on a Horta?

You’ve been pondering alien biology for years. This is your chance to infodump all your favorite theories to an eager audience of your fellow nerds!

Articles will be separated into two categories: reproductive biology or general biology. Yes, we also want all your theories on what every species is packing downstairs…and how they use it.

Journal articles should be fun and engaging, but also written in your interpretation of a pseudo-academic style, since this is a highly respected Federation xenobiology journal. If you want to keep things more lighthearted and less academic, check out the section on Letters to the Editor.

ALIEN BIOLOGY ARTWORK

If you have independent illustrations about alien biology we would love to see them! If you would like to provide illustrations for one of our journal articles, tell us what species you want to illustrate and we’ll do our best to match you up!

Art should be in a square, scaleable format, printable at high resolution at 4x4 inches.

JOURNAL ADVERTISEMENTS

Even in a post-need future, academic journals will need a little extra funding. Submit your ads for Ferengi Oomox Creme, Self Sealing Stem Bolts, Gently Used Federation Technology, and, of course, “reproductive aids.” The weirder the better! Have fun with it!

All art needs to be printable at high resolution

Ad Sizes:

1 column (vertical) 3.5 x 7

half page (horizontal) 8 x 5

banner (narrow horizontal) 8 x 2

in-text (square) 3.5 x 3.5 scaleable

in-text (half-square) 3.5 x 1.75

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Do you have a great idea, but it’s not enough to fill out a 3000 word article? Submit it as a “reaction” to a previous journal article. Feel free to lay into a mythical researcher who does NOT understand why their biological theory is wrong and yours is right!

Max length 800 words. Enjoy making these plenty frothy!

WE NEED SUB-EDITORS!

The creators of this Zine are all notorious Vulcan Fuckers. Since we want the Zine O’Biology to be open to all alien species, it is only logical that we seek your expertise.

We’re seeking fans from all over the Star Trek universe to spread the word that yes, it’s time for us to all come together in the spirit of explaining how our favorite aliens come together.

Sub-Editors will be in charge of helping us solicit articles and art for their specific race of aliens and editing those articles in order to fit into the Zine. If we don’t have a sub editor for a species, we’ll do our best, but the chapter on that species won’t be as good as it would be if folks with real fanon knowledge were involved.

WANT TO GET INVOLVED, BUT YOU’RE NOT A WRITER OR ARTIST?

WE NEED:

Graphic designers to help with Zine layout

Social media promoters

Alien art and article wranglers (ie: get your fannish friends involved!)

--HOW TO GET INVOLVED--

Fill out the Art or Writing Google Form letting us know your interests or reach out to the Editor in Chief at [email protected]

DEADLINES:

August 1, 2024: Last date for everyone seeking an art or writing partner to submit their request. We don’t guarantee you’ll be partnered up. It depends on how many people are interested and what aliens they want to draw/write.

August 18, 2024: Art/Writing partners notified. NOTE: it’s both fine and encouraged if you want to submit as a team from the start! This is for people who do not have a partner and would like us to find them one.

August 30, 2024: Final call for all journal authors, artists, and advertisers to let us know what species they’re working with, how many submissions they plan to send, and whether their submission will be general or reproductive biology.

October 20, 2024: All art, advertising, and journal submissions are due

We hope to have the Zine O’Biology ready for your enjoyment by New Year’s Eve 2024. We all have full time jobs and lives, so that date may change depending on the volume of submissions.

FAQ

What if my biological theories are totally different from another author’s?

Yes. Perfect. We love it.

We want to see everyone’s theories! Canon gave us scraps, but together we will make a meal! Expect to see many mutually contradictory articles. That’s part of the fun!

What about Smut?

Yes, we are accepting E rated submissions! The journal will be separated into two sections:

General Biology

Reproductive Biology

General Biology is everything but the genitals

Reproductive Biology should include actual descriptions of the mechanics and biology. Think of it as creating reference material for smut writers and artists.

WANTED: Artists Willing To Take Commissions For Obscure and Small Fandoms/Ships

Okay... so, am I doing this?

I guess we’re doing this.

As I’ve mentioned before on my Tumblr, I can’t draw to save my life. I’m the living embodiment of “Hermione Can’t Draw” from A Very Potter Sequel.

But, I do love seeing other people’s fan art-- it just sucks that most of the fandoms I’m in are very small and/or obscure.

So, I’m looking for artists who would like to take commissions from me and indulge my ridiculousness.

Fandoms and ships that I’ll probably ask for pieces of:

The Frighteners (Frank/Lucy)

Family Ties (Alex/Ellen, Nick/Mallory, Steven/Elyse)

Back to the Future trilogy (Marty/Jennifer, Doc/Clara, George/Lorraine)

Newsies [musical ‘verse] (Jack/Katherine)

Who’s The Boss? (Tony/Angela)

Bright Lights, Big City (Jamie/Vicky)

Law & Order franchise (Nolan/Sam, Rollins/Carisi)

Spin City (Mike/Nikki)

The X-Files (Mulder/Scully)

Taxi (Alex/Elaine)

Danielle Steele’s Fine Things (Bernie/Liz)

Netherbeast Incorporated (Otto/Pearl)

Days of our Lives (Chad/Abigail, Bo/Hope, Ben/Ciara, John/Marlena, Jack/Jennifer, Steve/Kayla, Eli/Lani, Will/Sonny, E.J./Sami, Eric/Nicole)

Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman (Sully/Michaela)

Eloise at Christmastime (Bill/Rachel)

The Count of Monte Cristo [2002 ‘verse] (Edmond/Mercedes)

The Music Man [1962] (Harold/Marian, Tommy/Zaneeta)

Blue’s Clues (Steve/Miranda)

Here are a few examples of the kind of style(s) that I’m looking for (I can’t remember where I found these, but I loved them so much I downloaded them. All I remember is that they’re fan art of The Lizzie Bennett Chronicles):

Please DM me so we can work things out, and I can give you my first request. But please keep in mind... I don’t want it to get too expensive. I’m not being a cheapskate, it’s just that my family and I are trying to watch our money right now.

Good morning 🍊

#the concern #oc art #artists on tumblr #happy new year all 🎉 here's to a good 2024 #also hello new people from the selkie comic 👋 this is ajaya and she's one of the half-sisters of the human (amir) from that comic #amir has a number of half-siblings unknown to him because his father is a 250-year old wizard seeking permanent immortality #and has fathered a ton of children in the meantime to further his ends #anyway in my motw campaign ajaya causes problems on purpose but also has extremely useful gossip so my players let her stay #in that whenever I want to give my players an emergency plot hook she shows up with a mimosa like OH BTW HAVE YOU HEARD--#but she also did very much make a ghost battery go dangerously haywire and also steal the iron from an already iron deficient vampire

Prompts, prompts, and more prompts!

Hello everyone! We have decided to throw some prompts out there from people who may not be able to participate (or are already participating), but had amazing ideas!

The First: Consider dehydration levels and their impact on the Vulcans self lubrication system. Their bodies are designed to conserve moisture and yet they self lubricate. So at what level of dehydration does their system cease prioritizing that function in favour of greater survival? Prompt courtesy of @celestialvoyeur

If you would like to submit a prompt DM me or send an ask!

valheria rocha, the photographer who shot the lover album photoshoot, wrote a letter about how impactful the opportunity was for her and the latin community and how as an undocumented immigrant she never thought she’d get an opportunity like this… i’m crying

#this is why it’s so important that taylor seeks out artists of color to work with in all aspects of her career #she’s using her massive platform to champion their work and make space for anyone and everyone #and that is soo rare for an artist of her caliber who can easily have her team hire the most well known people
