FAQ
What is the theme of this zine?
The focus of this zine is about Snake and Otacon’s Philanthropy era, a timeline that spans from a few months after the end of MGS1 to the end of MGS2. This fanzine is not only a celebration of their growing love and friendship, but also about their shared mission to save the world from the military industrial complex, Patriot manipulation of society, and nuclear-capable Metal Gear proliferation.
What is the tone of this zine?
Feel free to get creative and open with your interpretation of what Otasune/Philanthropy means to you. We love MGS because the story contains dark themes presented against a backdrop that is interspersed with moments of romance, parody, comedy, and weirdness.
Will you ship internationally?
This is a USA-based project but we will make an effort to ship internationally. The buyer will be responsible for paying international shipping fees.We will NOT be able to ship a physical copy if your country is currently blocking post from the USA.

Will contributors get a free copy?
