⚠️ With the recent influx of zines becoming prevalent in fandom, it's important to be in the know before getting involved in such projects. Whether a contributor, mod, or a buyer, we all want a project to succeed. Here's a resource to get you started:
Hello, I apologize for the long hiatus. I am no longer capable of running this account the way it deserves to be run, and I would like to hand it over to someone who can update and keep up with the account(s) on a regular basis.
Details below.
+
1. Don't overwork yourself. It may be tempting to try and participate in everything, but please keep in mind how fast and how much you can create before you start to experience burnout. This is very real especially for people that try to fill out all the prompts for a week. +
To sum up, participating in fandom events should be enjoyable and fun, and not something that should cause you undue stress. Take care of yourself! Cheers✌️
Making clear event/zine posts (a thread)
An informational post that doesn't clearly convey the information that you need to convey is ineffective. Here's some good practices to keep in mind when designing/writing tweets/graphics for fan events, zine applications and the like.
2. These events are for fun and to collectively show appreciation for a character/ship/team! If you want to share something but don't want to because you 'are not good enough', i say share anyway! You can dress up cake however you want but cake is still cake. More cake is good.+
3. This is more of an etiquette thing, but i think it bears repeating: Please don't use an event tag to spread negativity. That's courtesy and also common sense. +
5. It's okay if you can't participate in anything. It's fine to let a week pass you by even if it's a week for your OTP. If you feel really bad about it you can always post late too (even MONTHS late. it's totally fine.)+
4. Events will overlap and there's not much that can be done about it. Please don't try to pick fights with other event mods arguing about dates. For the most part the audiences for each week will be different, and if they are the same+
try to promote cross-posting instead of trying to be exclusionary. In the end, events are supposed to encourage creating and foster community, not prove superiority.+
New Disclaimer added:
If any NSFW event/zine is found to have knowingly had a minor mod at any time, then the bulletin will not promote or list that event or zine.

It's always a good idea to not give confidential information about yourselves to strangers on the internet. The people asking for id may just be doing what they feel is right to protect their community, but do you want to risk doxxing yourself just get access to a fandom space?
The wonderful
@shnckos
will be taking over the responsibilities of the bulletin. Thank you so much to everyone that reached out to me with offers to help, I really appreciate your kindness so much! 💖💖 Thank you all for your continued support!
Thank you for your support of this page since 2019. I believe this bulletin has been a useful resource for so many, myself included, and I hope it can continue in the same vein for more time to come.
Some folk were interested in seeing a calendar view of the events, so I made one. This link is inside the doc as well. Please note: this will be updated on a weekly basis, so for the most up-to-date info, please refer to the spreadsheet.
Calendar:
Hello hello everyone! New mod here, I will be RT-ing tweets every few hours or so until I'm all caught up! Expect the tumblr, spreadsheets and calendar to be updated by the weekend too! As always, if you have questions, feel free to DM/CC. Thank you so much for your patience! ♥️
Sorry for the sudden hiatus without warning. I'm sick and quite fatigued so I will continue to be inactive for a few more days. Please DM me your event links so I can easily add to the tracker when I return. Thank you for your patience!
Gentle reminder that this account also runs a fan events calendar available for your viewing. If you're looking for events to sign up for, fanweeks to participate in, or zines with open applications and/or preorders, check it all out here: 🥰💖
Haikyuu bulletin tracker - HELLO! There is now a tracker for Haikyuu Zines and events as well (events section still under construction). Comments have been enabled so please feel free to add notes about zines/events that may be missed. Thanks...

The HQ bulletin consists of Twitter, Tumblr, CC, spreadsheet, and calendar. If you can't do all 5, someone that can update at least the Twitter/tumblr would be greatly appreciated. I can still work on updating the spreadsheet, calendar and CC. These details can be discussed.

1. You are detail-oriented and patient
2. You can spare 2-3 hours a week for this
3. You are 18+ and comfortable with seeing NSFW content of all varieties. (important)
4. You plan to continue the bulletin in the same vein

tl;dr; While zines can be very fun and exciting experiences, they also take a lot of work and should not be taken lightly. Keep yourself informed, and keep yourself safe.

An informational post that doesn't clearly convey the information that you need to convey is ineffective. Here's some good practices to keep in mind when designing/writing tweets/graphics for fan events, zine applications and the like.
Quick reminder that the bulletin also lists artists and writers offering commissions, as well as online storefronts selling HQ merch. If you want to get some gifts for your friends, consider taking a look here!
The bulletin spreadsheet is now up to date! Added a few commission posts, storefronts, and a few free zines (which can be found in the preorders section on the Zines tab!)
I will update the calendar later this week!

I'm begging you guys, please be wary of zines. Look at the mods, ask for their experience, go to old zine social media pages. Look for red flags (which I'll detail below in the thread). It is so crucial to know the team behind the zine because it could make or break it.
The zine applications calendar looks more chaotic than actually helpful. Do you want me to continue adding zines to the calendar, or do you find it easier to simply locate your info on the spreadsheet? Poll below.
4. Fancy fonts and effects are pretty to look at but if they hinder the readability of your text then they make your graphic useless. Try to use ornate fonts (also known as display fonts) only for headings or large text, and use a simpler font for the rest of your post.

Aesthetics:
1. Contrast is important. When using a light background, your text should be dark, and vice versa. Light text on light backgrounds or dark text on dark backgrounds (when there is very little contrast between the colours) makes a graphic very difficult to read.

Basic information you should provide at the start of a project:
For events:
1. What is the event (fanweek/ exchange/ big bang)? Are there rules?
2. Is it specifically SFW/NSFW, or is it enough to tag appropriately?
3. What are the event dates?
4. How can you be contacted?
📷 oihinaweek: OiHina Week is coming back with a vengeance January 12th-18th 2020! Here are the prompts: Day 1: FHQ // Royalty AU Day 2: Same Team // Paranormal AU Day 3: First Date // Historical AU Day 4: Soulmate AU // Domestic Day 5: Reunion...
Once again, this list is not definitive or exhaustive, and I am by no means an authority on design, so you can do with this information as you please. If you'd like to add any more pointers or have any questions, please feel free to reply here. Cheers✌️
Aesthetics (cont.)
2. If your background pattern/image is too busy, it will interfere with the readability of your text.
3. Try not to fill every inch of your graphic with information. Scrunching text too close together makes it appear too busy and is strenuous to read.
Dates (cont.):
3. If you are making a twitter thread, include the dates on the first tweet.
4. If the event has an end date, include the end date. A preorder post that simply says "opens on 3rd January" is fine, but a lot of people will want to know when it ends so they can plan.
Basic info (cont.)
For zines:
1. What is the theme of the zine? Is it for profit or for charity? Physical or digital? Gen or 18+?
2. Who are the mods? What are their socials?
3. How are they planning on compensating the contributors?
4. What is the schedule?
Dates:
1. It's always better to write out the month names to avoid confusion. Jan 3 - Feb 5, 2020 is immediately clearer than 01/03-02/05 or 03/01-05/02.
2. Always include the dates on your graphic and in your tweet body (esp on fanweek prompt posts).

Basic info (cont.)
Preferably all this should be in a pinned post or better yet, a google doc/carrd page that you can link in your bio for easy access.
For zines, if you don't know your specs yet it's still useful to say which specs will be decided post interest check.
Apologies for this mod's absence the past few weeks! Real life has just been a bit overwhelming recently, but will do my best to catch up on everything. Thank you all for your patience, and happy November! 💕😊
