The Dillon Gazette

The Dillon Gazette: a fanzine inspired by Friday Night Lights.

NO money or profit is being made (or will be made) from this endeavour - we're doing this out of fun & love for one of the best shows to ever grace the small screen. :)

ipicktheround asked:

So do I just type something up and email it to you or something?

Yes! I’m looking to set up an email account specifically for this, so stay tuned for that. Thanks! :)

Anything you want me to write or do or edit? Because I’m completely interested in helping! And will the print version be color?

Yes please! I would love help putting things together if/when they come in - and written contributions of any kind would be amazingsauce. :D

The print version will probably be a mix of monochrome/colour. :)

THE DILLON GAZETTE - a fnl fanzine

This idea is for a one-off publication to feature 2 categories of FNL-inspired fanworks:  

1) Pieces that might appear in an actual edition Dillon Gazette of FNL, like:

  • Interviews with folk like Coach Taylor, Buddy Garrity, boosters;
  • “Where are they now” articles on Dillon Panthers of years past (#20, anyone?);
  • Dillon gossip column (!!);
  • Fake news articles about happenings in Dillon;
  • … etc etc!

(For the purpose of the zine, these pieces would be timed alongside Season 5, but that’s NOT a rule set in stone, by any means - !) 

 2) Meta pieces:

  • Essays about FNL (e.g. the difference between Lion and Panthers, race issues in FNL, why Tami Taylor is your role-model, etc);-
  • Lists (e.g. top 10 football moments in FNL);
  • FNL-themed crosswords/paper-based activities
  • Comics/artwork (in monochrome, please, and do avoid using copyrighted images!);
  • Fanfiction (under 500 words)

Contributors will get free copies of the GAZETTE in thanks for their contribution - with proper card covers, ribbon embellishments, etc. For everyone else - there will be  a PDF available online so you can print your own booklet out. :P

I also helped to put together The Hogwarts Express fanzine (Harry Potter based), for reference.

Folk interested in contributing to this project in any way/shape/form should drop a note in my Ask box! :D
