Discovery of International Cryptids’ Kinks Zine (DICKZ) is a queer +18 sex-positive collection that dives into our beloved character's deepest fantasies. Whether you’re here for the cryptids, the kinks, or just checking it out of curiosity, we're sure you will find a place here.DICKZ centers consent, curiosity, and enjoyment in every weird encounter, featuring both Stanley and Stanford Pines in separate escapades, letting them explore new boundaries or indulge old kinks.This is a proudly pro-sex, pro-kink, and pro-experimentation zine. We’re not here to judge, we’re here to explore.
Current stage: Interest Check
What is this project about?
This is a NSFW zine starring Stanford & Stanley Pines independently in various sexual escapades with different fictional cryptids.How NSFW will this zine be?
We allow a large variety of kinks and subjects listed here (link kinks list here), but if something you have interest in is missing please ask the mod team and we'll see if it's within the comfort zone as well. As long as it's on the list, you can go as wild as you want with it!Will this zine be physical or digital? Is it for profit?
This project is digital only, with the zine being free and extra content like digital merch and promo material being a small donation sent directly to one of several pre-approved charities. We will ask for a screenshot of the receipt from donating, including the charity name, dollar amount, and date all clearly visible. While it's not required that you donate anonymously, please cross out your name on the receipt screenshot before sending it to us as we do not need such information and encourage people to protect their identities online! (I can make an example to attach here btw)
With the zine being free and any donations going directly to the charities, contributors will not be paid for their work in this zine.Will AI be allowed?
Absolutely not. Creators are not allowed to use AI in any part of their process, and will be kicked from the zine automatically and without hesitation if they are found to be.Can I apply to this zine if I don’t want to make a NSFW piece?
Considering the nature of this zine, if you are uncomfortable with seeing or making NSFW content we advise you do not apply as this is an explicitly 18+ project.Are ships allowed in the zine?
Yes, ships between canonically adult characters are allowed, however shipping is not the intended focus of the zine. Stancest, Stanwich, Stansoos, and any ships including aged up minor characters are not allowed.Do contributors need to follow canon?
Contributor works can reference and include canon events in their works, but it is not mandatory to be canon compliant. AUs and headcanons are allowed as long as the ideas still uphold the theme of the zine. For example, considering Ford spent a great deal of time in the multiverse, pieces featuring fictional cryptids or creatures he may have met during that timeframe are free game.Are headcanons on sexuality/gender allowed?
Yes! Since neither Stan nor Ford have explicitly canon confirmed sexualities/gender, any headcanons will be allowed, we only ask everyone to be respectful of differing opinions.How old do I have to be to apply to this zine?
As this is a strictly NSFW zine, everyone must be 18 years or older before applications close and anyone found out to be under 18 years of age will be kicked from the zine automatically and without hesitation.Will follower count matter when it comes to applying as a contributor?
No! We will decide on contributors based on skill, so social media followings won’t matter.What's the difference between page art and spot art?
Page art is a full page piece (an illustration, a spread, or a comic) whereas spot art is smaller piece(s) in collaboration with an assigned writer's fic. All artists within the zine will complete a type of page art of their choice, but collaborating to create spot art is optional.Any other questions you don't see answered here? Please feel free to DM us on any of our social media pages, and we will be happy to respond to you!
