ABOUT USMetamorphosis is a sfw, gen/multiship zine that aims to make classic literature and art history accessible and unintimidating by Boku no Hero Academia as a vessel. our goal is to take traditionally pretentious or gate-kept modes of expression off their pedestals and highlight just how similar stories, characters, and narrative themes have been throughout history. Metamorphosis strive to be as inclusive as possible with all the movements included in our publication!Contact Us

FAQWhat is a “zine”?
A zine (short for "fanzine") is a self-published, small-circulation publication, often created by individuals or small groups, that can include text, images, artwork, and other creative materials. It is made of pre-existing media.
I don’t know much about art history or classic literature. Should I still apply?
YES! We have a page for accepted artists and writers in the discord to provide inspiration and ideas, no matter how familiar you are with a certain time period. We’re hoping that this zine serves as an easy, non-threatening way for people to learn about art history/movements and prominent themes in literary works throughout history. We hope the community we build fosters learning and new perspectives in all directions! We’re more than willing to work with you as you explore new art and writing styles, if you’re interested.
What are we looking for in contributor submissions?
In your application? Just some art and writing samples! But for zine submissions, please see the GUIDELINES.
Why is this zine for-profit?
We anticipate the labor to create art and writing for this project will be more taxing than most other zines, given the research going into each contribution. We would like to honor the extra effort all of our contributors, moderators, and organizers gave to this project to make it as entertaining and educational as possible.
Why is this zine considered SFW?
While there likely will be nudity in this zine, it will all be nonsexual, and tasteful to the degree it emulates the pieces they’re inspired by. We do not anticipate any of our written or drawn pieces to dip into erotic/lewd territory.
How do I join?
Our contributor applications are open until 7/31/2025! You can see the writers, artists, and merch apps in the pinned post on our twitter.
How many slots are available for creators?
TBA - Pending IC!
