Good Zibes Only
Welcome to Zibe Time Zines! We're a group of friends running a fun, multi-volume project! Each volume has a different theme and is comprised of multiple fandoms including OC, reader insert, AU, and crossover content. All of our contributors can produce whatever they want with our themes and have a great time doing it! It's a scrapbook of fics and art we put together to spread the spirit of what zines used to be: creators creating and having fun doing it!
About Us
We're a bunch of friends that got tired of rejections and the same five people running projects for their friends and decided to make our own zine. We've got canva, photoshop, and a dream. We want to have our projects be fun, exciting, and a good time for everyone involved between our creators and readers and our aim is to do the best we can to make everyone happy.Our zine is multi-fandom. We allow OC content. We allow crossovers, AUs, switcheroos, and anything else you can think of. Each volume has a theme, and so long as the work being made involves the theme, it's allowed. Our zine is like a scrapbook, everyone doing something they love and sharing something deeply personal and fun with others. We all know the sting of rejection and are saying no to that with Zibe Time. Anyone and everyone can make a zine. We did it because we wanted to, and you should, too!

I'm Fae, 27, xe/xir. Zibe was my brain baby with the help of my other moderators and friends. I have been in a few zines and will probably be in more, but Zibe is my passion project. As a fic writer, doing zines is a struggle. Whether it's a 2k word count or only 5 writer slots vs 15+ artists or not being friends with the right people, I got tired of it all and decided to create a project I could be proud of, let anyone participate in, and spark joy for others. Everyone starts somewhere and this is my first zine I've ever managed and will hopefully continue managing for a long time. I love this project, I love everyone on it, and I'm hopeful that creating something like this will inspire others to be like me: an asshole with a dream and a canva subscription.Plague.

Hi, I'm Plague, 28, they/them. I enjoy long walks on the beach, owning an irresponsible number of houseplants, drinking 6+ cups of coffee a day, and projecting my issues onto anime boys. I've participated in a few commercialized zines, and polished products are fun, but for me the real allure of a fanzine goes back to its traditional purpose: to create something fun with a group of friends. Zines are our love letters to fandom, and Zibe is continuing on their original spirit. Modding other projects is often a huge headache, but running Zibe has been a lot of fun. I'm here to celebrate all the wonderful things in fandom. I love my friends' writing and art, and I hope you do too!Mim. Moderator.
Hi, I’m Mim, 31, he/him. I own too many cats and too many books, and spend most of my free time with both. Fanfic and fandom have been passions of mine since I first stumbled onto a Geocities YuGiOh! fan-archive back in 2002, and Zibe Time has been a welcome return to those DIY roots. It’s been incredibly fun to work on, thanks to the shared passion of the mod team and contributors and the dedication to just having a good time with whatever we create, and I hope to see more people making their own zines and living their fandom dreams in the future.Zed. Moderator.
Howdy~! I'm Zed (29, he/they). I'm a ravenous sci-fi and fantasy consumer in all forms the genres can come in. Games, books, movies, it's all delicious. Along with devouring media and fandom content I also devour just about any food I can get my hands on and I love cooking almost more than I love myself. I've been excited for Zibe ever since the first planning stages, and being able to do what has become a passion project with so many of my friends has been so fulfilling and I hope for many more volumes to come.Ares. Moderator.
Hello! I'm Ares, 24, he/him. Anime nerd, video game transfixed, D&D obsessed — I'm a connoisseur of many fandoms and one who prefers to dig as deep as possible into the history of the things I like. I'm your one-stop shop for all things lore related, so long as it's on the ever-growing list of interests. I'm a long-time, long-winded writer and a fledgling pixel artist just beginning to spread his wings in the craft. I've loved doing zines since the first time I've done one, but Zibe is something extra special. It gives everyone a chance to do the things we love without worry. We hope to create a low-stress environment for our creators to make an experience that we hope will span across a whole swathe of fandoms. Being able to do a project I love with friends means the absolute world to me and I hope you'll enjoy it too!Satu. Moderator.G’day (leaning into Aussie stereotypes solely for humour purposes lol)! I’m SatuD2, 32, she/her. I’ve been writing fanfic since the tender age of 10, and had my own Geocities fic/fan site back in the day! I’ve indulged in many fandoms over my years, and the Zibe has been an excellent multi-fandom chill place that I feel captures that early-fandom vibe. I’ve had real fun exploring Stardew with my previous Zibe pieces and am delighted for the opportunity to continue in the future!JJ. Moderator.Hi! I'm JJ, 27, she/her. Enjoyer of running (or masochism maybe), playing puzzle and visual novel games, attending concerts, and consuming media featuring copious amounts of girlbosses and murder. I've been writing my silly stories since elementary school and continue to love bringing my particular brand of chaos and insanity to my present day works. Being a part of Zibe since it's first issue has been such a rewarding and fun experience, and I'm excited to be joining the moderating team!
