Our projected schedule can be accessed here.What is a “meta”?
When we say “meta,” we are referring to non-prose/non-fiction writing that analyzes elements of the series—in this case, the character of Zelda. Sort of like an essay you’d write about a book for a literature class, only about Zelda (and way more fun). Think blog post or editorial. Something you might read on a site like Zelda Dungeon or Zelda Universe, or even a passionate Tumblr post or Twitter thread, just more polished and zine-y. (If you’re looking for examples, we recommend browsing the work of our fantastic guest meta writer, Chakell H.!)

Hello, I’m Mar! (29, she/her.) I’m a fic writer and fan artist, and I work as a magazine copyeditor/writer professionally. I’ve been a contributor in a few zines in the past, and I was the head mod for a digital-only zine called Totographs. I’m fairly new to The Legend of Zelda, but I quickly fell in love with the series—in particular the wise, strong, intriguing Princess Zelda! I’m excited to work with the incredible creators of this fandom to celebrate this beloved and iconic character.

Hey, I’m Mozzy! (28, she/her). I’m a writer and illustrator with experience in graphic design. I’ve been in four zines as a contributing artist, and was a head mod of Totographs with Mar. Though I’ve only been playing Zelda games for a few years, they are so important to me. Princess Zelda is strong, wise, and kind. She’s one of my all-time favorite characters, and I’m so excited to honor her with this zine!

Hello! I'm Seeking (20, she/her). I'm a fic writer and had the opportunity to be the head moderator for the Legend of Link charity zine! I've been in the Legend of Zelda fandom for about 10 years now, and even though I've played almost all the games, the original NES games will always have a special place in my heart. So excited to be the writing mod for this lovely project!

I am a graphic designer, illustrator, and writer who has been immersed in The Legend of Zelda from the moment I could read and have been stuck in Hyrule ever since. My favorite games in the series are The Wind Waker and The Minish Cap, but don't get me started on Twilight Princess, or I might start crying ...
