Kuvira Zine
Volume II: Not Alone

Kuvira Zine Volume II will be a collection of fanworks centered around the character Kuvira. The SFW zine that will be available as a Digital PDF and as an A5 perfect-bound book with two main sections: Kuvira In Power and Kuvira At Home.

SECTIONS

Kuvira in Power may include Kuvira depicted as a leader in any capacity that isn’t a dictator such as:

Earth Queen
Empress
Bending instructor
Military commander
Business owner
Benevolent mob boss [Head Mod Zhi just finished Golden Wind, okay? XD]
Youth Outreach Coordinator
Special Forces Leader, etc.

Kuvira at Home, we will explore alternate universe and post-canon situations such as:

Kuvira if she were adopted by Lin
Kuvira raised by the Red Lotus
Kuvira reconciling with Suyin and the Metal Clan
Kuvira relaxing/hanging out with friends
Kuvira chilling on her own
Kuvira going on dates with Baatar, Korra, Iroh II, Mako, or whoever
Kuvira with children

Shipping will be allowed in the SFW zine but interactions must be mild. Snuggling is OK, but passionate groping NOT OK.There will be a digital NSFW side-zine that may include Kuvira alone as well as Kuvira in a relationship with others. Prohibited content includes underage, incest, age-gap, non-con, dub-con, and excessive gore.
