What is a Fanzine?

A fanzine, simply put, is a fanmade and fan-run compilation of content centered around a specific subject. Works commonly included in a zine are fanart and fanfiction, and bigger zines can also include custom merchandise if they ship physical copies.

Zines are either distributed digitally, or have printed physical copies. They can be non profit, for profit, or donate their proceeds to charity.

What is Cinnamon Coffee about?

Cinnamon Coffee will be a free, SFW, digital fanzine primarily focused on the ship between two characters from DDLC: Monika x Sayori. We hope to gather people who love these two dokis, and create our own lovely tribute to them!

Content in this fanzine would take place in a much happier, "real life" alternate universe, where the girls are free to live their lives to the fullest. As such, we are looking to have positive and wholesome content.

We will have an optional Discord server for contributors to join, if they wish to interact and work with the mods and other contributors personally!

Our Team

Cinnamon Coffee is currently managed by these individuals, connected by our love of the Sayonika ship.

Minzzway
(Founder, Art mod)

Minzzway is a simple artist who's been drawing DDLC fanart for just under a year.

They seem to possess a considerable amount of passion for the Sayonika ship, and have created an inordinate amount of content on this subject, including a short, sappy doujin titled "Hear Me Now" (which you should definitely read-! Or else!).

Having been inspired by another DDLC fanzine, "Here is A Brighter Garden", and with a great mentor and team with them, Minzzway strikes out on a journey to hopefully deliver something wonderful for fellow fans of the ship!


GMB4
(Server/Social Media mod)

GMB4 is a long time Sayonika and Yuri(GL) fan, and a moderator on the subreddit r/Sayonika along with the "House of Sayonika" Discord Server


Social Coyote
(Writer mod, Creative consultant)

Social Coyote is a writer whose only known accomplishment is the DDLC Fanfic titled, "For the Longest Time", an angsty fluff filled romantic look into Monika's psyche that should not be read by anyone, much less the viewers and contributors of this zine.

This sudden burst of admiration for DDLC and the Sayonika ship has led to his inclusion in the aforementioned "Here is a Brighter Garden" project, several small collaborations, and connections throughout the fandom that are the closest thing he has to credentials.


Charlotte
(Organization Mod)

Charlotte is a person new to the DDLC scene, yet the game has been dear to their heart since it was first made. The attachment they had faded away slightly as time passed but was lit up again by “Here is a Brighter Garden” project and DDLC+.

Inspired by the project, they are hosting their own zine with the help of wonderful people— “Sanguis”, a zine celebrating RPG maker games.

Once they heard that “Cinnamon Coffee” was being made and needed help with organization, they rushed to help another DDLC project grow using their knowledge from the zine they’re helping create
