Lore is a free, digital, all-inclusive zine featuring works centered around the character Huey from the mobile gacha game NU: carnival. This zine will consist of works ranging from what life was like pre-canon to what Huey might be up to at present. All Huey ships (romantic or platonic) are welcome. Because the source material is 18+, all contributors must be 18 years of age or older to apply.
This zine is dedicated to the OG Grand Sorcerer: Huey. Without him, all of our beloved favorites never would have come together in the game we love. This zine focuses on two aspects, past and present. Contributors have the choice to create works either centered around Huey up to the point Eiden is introduced or a “Where is he now?” of sorts, reflecting on what he might be doing at present while the main story is going on.
Lore does not have any content restrictions, so long as the work created represents the required theme. All works must be tagged accordingly. Outward character bashing will not be allowed. We understand that many people have strong negative feelings towards Huey and they way he has treated certain characters in canon. Works can focus on those negative interactions and portray him as the villain, but blatant character bashing will not be tolerated.
