You’ve met our team of organizers in our recent mod feature posts (or if you missed those, learn more about the team at: https://www.reforgedzine.com/mod-team/). 

What makes us think we can pull this off, though? Among the mods, we have a combined experience that includes running fandom events like exchanges, bangs, and bingos, working on collaborations, self-publishing comics or anthologies of art and writing, printing merch and print media, setting print files, building websites and e-commerce shops, and tons of experience organizing teams and projects.

Our collective skills and experience should carry us through this zine, but we are also excited to learn new things, and our excitement for having a Winteriron zine come to fruition will inspire us to conquer the inevitable challenges we will face!

Want to be a part of this awesome project? There’s still time to apply to be an artist or writer!

Hoarder of ships and hobbies. 

I write, craft, make art and moodboards, love reccing fics and joining and volunteering for new events. I love to create a community in the fannish spaces I am in.

Why do you love WinterIron?
I saw one comic panel with Tony fixing Bucky’s arm and never looked back. I love the potential for angst and exploring trauma and the boys helping each other heal.

Why should people join the zine?
I think people should join the zine because it’s a fun opportunity to create something with other Winteriron fans and get to hold those amazing creations physically. This fandom is full of talent and I think sharing that talent with each other would be super exciting!

I make things sometimes.

Most of my time is spent writing multi-fandom things, but I dabble in digital art on occasion whenever I’m not helping to mod creator events across fandom!

Why do you love WinterIron?
Tony Stark and Bucky Barnes are both unironically my comfort characters, but I didn’t fall in love with the WinterIron ship specifically until after watching CA:CW and reading all of the fix-it fics. Their relationship in any varied universe is so nuanced that I thoroughly enjoy playing around in that sandbox.

Why should people join the zine?
We not only put our blood, sweat, and tears into the fanworks that we make but we also infuse them with so much love and joy. Having a physical zine is one of many amazing ways to really make that effort tangible.

Does a little bit of everything

I’m a fic author and nerd crafter mostly. Ran the Iron Man Big Bang and Iron Man Flash Bang. Contributed to various fandom projects over the years. Love brainstorming new ideas and being an enabler

Why do you love WinterIron?
I’ve always been drawn to characters that are a bit broken and trying to do their best despite things. Between comics and MCU I just love the potential the two have together.

Why should people join the zine?:
Working with others to make something is always an amazing experience. Definitely recommend giving it a shot to share love for our boys.

Applications Open April 2nd

We have new social media handles, a brand new look, and… drum roll please… a title!

Announcing: Reforged: A Winteriron Zine

Both Tony and Bucky have been built and rebuilt, with everything they’ve gone through, all through the multiverse, and this zine will showcase all the the things we love most about Winteriron.

We’re also officially announcing that contributors will be able to apply to be included in the zine starting April 2nd, 2022. Applications will be open for the entire month of April, so you’ll have plenty of time to review the information and decide if you want to participate. We’ve tried to anticipate your questions on our FAQ and our Contributor Guidelines page, which includes a break down of everything you’ll need for the application form. (TL;DR: You’ll need to tell us a little bit about yourself, what kind of content you want to make, and share a portfolio that shows off the amazing things you can do.)

We are so excited to kick off this project, and we hope you are too! See you on the 2nd!
