Between the Lines is a BKDKBK zine about all of the words that neither of our boys have said out loud.

Between the Lines will feature artwork and stories around the theme of written communication. Think love letters, missed connections, advice columns, and more — as long as written communication is a central part of the plot, it counts!Both BKDK and DKBK pieces are welcome, as long as our two favorite boys are the focus!BTL will include both SFW and NSFW artwork, writing, and merch. Physical and digital formats for each are to be determined based on our Interest Check results! We're specifically looking to gauge interest for some different writing formats such as poetry, social media AUs, diary entries, or letter exchanges.BTL is a for-profit zine. All contributors are guaranteed all digital content. Our break-even goal is to provide all mods and contributors a full bundle with free shipping. In the case of exceeding this goal, all additional profits are to be split equally amongst all mods and contributors.

I may be a graphic designer by day, but I'm a full-time romantic at heart.
There's just something so lovely about putting ink to paper; a wishful thought becomes will and devotion made visible to the universe. It's only natural that a boy obsessed with hero analysis would grow to write about his life, immortalizing all the best parts and the love of his life at the centre of it all.I can't wait bring this zine to life. There's so much about it that I hold very dear to my heart — love letters and journaling and poetry, on top of the romance and pining that comes with the theme.

Confession time: I'm not much of a romantic. But there's something about the words we choose, to write down and keep, that have even me going soft — especially for my favorite knuckleheads in love. After all, Izuku and Katsuki have gone through so many misunderstandings in canon before they finally got to speak their truth (yes, I went there).
As a chat-fic writer myself, I've experienced firsthand how much thought goes into every single word that makes it to the final piece. I'm psyched to be a part of this team and help bring writers' vision to life!

You know those doodles on the side of a letter that someone’s written you? That’s one of my favorite parts of love letters, you get what their mind is thinking and what it’s feeling.
Katsuki and Izuku, amirite?I love these boys and I especially love when they love each other. One of my favorite tropes is when dumbass A and dumbass B have massive gushy over the top feelings for each other, but they’re both too blind to see it! Which is why I can’t wait to see all of the dumb misunderstandings and gushy feelings between the lines of this zine.While I spend my life in a transaction coordination and management role in the real estate world and I have a strange obsession with learning new formulas for spreadsheets, I also get a big dumb goofy grin whenever I see, hear or read anything with Katsuki and Izuku’s antics in it.With all of my heart,
