| about & faq |

✧What is this zine about?✧
✧cross|roads is an Avatar: the Last Airbender fanzine.✧

Its theme revolves around the concept of new beginnings. It will be an A5 physical and digital zine with physical merch.

All proceeds will be donated to the Young Center for Immigrant Children's Rights. Learn more about their mission statement here, and donate here.

The zine’s 2021 edition’s theme is new beginnings, as expressed in the Avatar series. Mod Cym created the first iteration of this zine, unity/separation, in 2018 following a spate of incidents in the American political climate that threatened the future and wellbeing of illegal immigrants seeking a better life in this nation.

Fics and art (digital and traditional – as long as you have access to a good scanner!) are welcome.

✧Will there be shipping?✧
Shipping is welcome, as long as it follows the theme and remains sfw.

✧Where are the proceeds going?✧
All proceeds left over after production of the zine itself will be donated to the Young Center for Immigrant Children’s Rights. Their website can be found here.
