Elythria is an unofficial, for-profit HSR fanzine dedicated to the romantic relationship between Phainon and Mydei—across time and space, in the next life and beyond. Our theme will be realised through depictions of Phaidei throughout the times of day, from morning to evening to night.

Elythria will be accompanied by Eros, our NSFW companion zine. The companion zine is fixed-dynamic (top Phainon × bottom Mydei).



What is a “zine”?

A (fan)zine is a small, fan-published, often-themed compilation of art and writing. The theme for Elythria is the enduring romance between Phainon and Mydei, represented by the times of day. In accordance with this theme, canon, canon-divergent, and AU depictions are all welcome.


What are the zine’s specs?

Elythria will be A5, perfect-bound, with fully coloured pages. It will be available both as a physical book (individually and accompanied by physical merchandise) as well as a digital PDF.Additionally, a NSFW companion zine Eros full of steamy saucy Phaidei content will also be available — now physical!

Due to restrictions on printing and distribution of explicit material in the main shipping mod's country, the physical version of Eros will be shipped separately.


Will the zine be for profit or charity?
How will contributors be compensated?

This project is for profit.
All contributors are guaranteed a copy of both digital zines and the option to purchase physical items at production cost. We aim to provide all contributors with a full bundle if sales allow. Any profits remaining after production and compensation will be split amongst the team based on contribution.


How many contributors will you be accepting?

Our final lineup is subject to change based on results of the interest check and contributor applications, but we are aiming to accept 25–30 artists, 6–8 writers, and 6–8 merch artists (numbers not inclusive of guests and mods) for the SFW zine.


Is there an age requirement to apply?

As the project is for-profit and features a NSFW side zine, all applicants must be over 18 by the date applications close (May 20).


Will the zine ship internationally?

Yes, Elythria will be available to be shipped internationally!
The main shipping mod is based in India.
