🐓 ABOUT THIS PROJECT 🐓'For the Love of Hens' is a charity fundraising fanzine by fans, for fans. It's a project centred around Shane from the acclaimed indie game Stardew Valley, appreciating his character, his story, his growth, the representation of mental illness, and how much it means to a lot of us who have been through similar things.The term 'Zine' is short for magazine, and most zines are essentially a compilation of artwork and writing centred around a particular theme. In this zine, contributors will be putting forward creations to be included as a page in the zine.We're aiming to release the zine for Spring 2024, around April 20th to be exact. The zine will release on Kofi, and for the first few weeks or month it will be paywalled, as all donations will be going to charity during this period. If you can afford to, please download during the fundraising period so that we can make a big donation! Once the fundraising period is over, which will be publically announced, the zine will become free to download for all.We will be donating to the charity Samaritans. Samaritans is a charity that operates free, 24/7, and confidential phone lines for people to reach out and talk to someone whenever they're having a difficult time. They provide a listening service for those who may be suffering from suicidal thoughts or otherwise unpleasant feelings.
