A One Piece Tarot Zine
Hello! Welcome to ‘Fate and Fortune’ a One Piece tarot zine! How are we different from the other projects? We aren’t creating cards and this is a writer-driven collection of short stories. Feel free to look around and find out all about the upcoming project!
About
So you already know this project will be heavy on writers and the focus is around Tarot. We will take on a COVER artist and SPOT ARTISTS who can do art for each fic. Depending on how many people apply will depend on how many pieces/cards people are allowed to create. Suppose 30 writers sign-up that's 2 to 3 pieces each.A Tarot deck has 78 cards. Writers will be given cards at random to create a short story for. For exampleThe High Priestess
Upright meaning: unconscious, intuition, mystery, spirituality, higher power, inner voice
Reversed meaning: repressed intuition, hidden motives, superficiality, confusion, cognitive dissonanceIt’s the writer's job to pick either upright or reversed [Even the romantic meaning!] and take inspiration from those keywords for the plot or about a character you think fits those personality traitsSome cards have descriptions of the card which can be used. Example:The Emperor card in Tarot symbolizes accomplishment, confidence, wealth, stability, leadership, father/brother/husband, achievement, and a capable person.Artists will get to pick what writer/s they work with and create a scene from the story that will fit inside the borders of a card.FANFICS must be between 5oo and 1.5 words [again we are focusing on many short stories!] we will not be assigning characters to cards, once card/s have been given to writers they can pick their context/ship/characters.
