My final contribution to the Usopp! Wantedzine@womenwantedzine is this Hungry Days AU fanart I made for my collaboration with @onceabluemoonwrites, who wrote a funny fanfic based on a modern school setting! ^^
Thank you very much for acquiring this digital zine.
During our production of the Women!Wanted Zine, still at the beginning of our journey (2020), we did an April Fool’s Day joke about the zine not being about the amazing female characters, but instead about Usopp.
Back then people asked us - full of hope - if that was true. It wasn’t. We then did the joke AGAIN the next year (2021), except this time was more real, and now we are finally presenting to you a few dozen pages of nothing but Usopp. …Well, that is not entirely correct because characters never exist alone, so you‘ll read about others too - but the focus always stays on our favourite sniper.
We allowed all Alternate Universes and headcanons and ideas except shipping.
Now, I write these lines on the 2nd March 2022 (a month before we publish the Zine), when the first flowers grow again and the birds start to build their nests. It‘s normally a time of new starts and hope. Instead, after Covid and the rise of the Taliban in Afghanistan, the world also faces the attack of Russia against Ukraine.
Anxiety and fear spikes, and the people who suffer most are the marginalised groups everywhere. During planning I wanted to give the option to send donations for the free zine, and as always the question of the charity arises.
The obvious answer would be any of the many Ukrainian funds and maybe even Russian, but I want to ask you again to donate to the Malala Fund.
If you wonder why, the reason is that the Taliban are still a threat to us all too, but mostly to the women and girls in Afghanistan. The eyes of the world are in Europe right now but the war in the Middle East is still going too and can‘t be forgotten. So, after you download the pdf and enjoy it, consider donating to the Malala Fund or click on these Links:
