Valentine's Day 2025 Zine
- Echoes of Devotion -

This zine is all about endearing love and devotion ♡Whether it’s between Tav and a companion, companions romancing each other, or a mixture of all, we’re all about celebrating the dynamics between different characters and how love can blossom in the most unexpected places.With this in mind, we are looking for contributors to help celebrate the great characters of Baldur’s Gate 3. Our primary focus will be on the companions themselves. We encourage submissions to have a Character x Reader approach so that anyone reading can enjoy the romance. Simply using Tav instead of an OC's name is a great way to do that.Artists are encouraged to keep their pieces neutral too so that all identities can enjoy the pieces. While we do love seeing everyone’s OCs, we would love the focus to be on the companions and the player above all else.Some examples of what we’d love to see:♡ Gale buying flowers for Tav
♡ Astarion sewing Tav's clothing
♡ Halsin whittling something for Tav as he remembers a touching moment
♡ Spawn Astarion covered in kisses
And so on!COMMUNICATION WILL BE THROUGH DISCORD PRIVATE GROUP

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is this zine NSFW or SFW?The zine will be split into two sections: one for NSFW and one for SFW.2. Are OCs allowed?You can draw on your original characters for experience, but we would prefer it if OC names were not featured in pieces. We would like writers to use a Reader x Character format for writing, so the use of second person pronouns is encouraged.If you would prefer not to use second person pronouns, please use “Tav” and keep it general without many identifying features. The same rules can be applied for artists, we would prefer it if identifying names were not included in pieces, a more general approach is appreciated.3. Can we use Companion x Companion ships?Yes, this is welcomed. If you ship two companions together we would love to see art and writing about them.
