The Great Drag Race of Garreg Mach
_{A FE3H
Genderfuckery Zine}

For this year's Blue Heron Ball Flayn suggest they all do a drag race, and Seteth, the ever caring fath-, err brother, can't deny her anything. Thus all of Garreg Mach gets out their finest clothings and most magnificent make-ups to proof they are the best at swiping out the pegasi stables in high heels.
This years zine focuses on drag as a form of art as well as a way to express yourself. Once again gender norms can go fuck themselves and gender gets queered in the most wonderful ways. All genders are welcome.Check out last year's zine! Itch.io gdrive

About this zine
The FE3H Genderfuckery Zine is a for charity digital zine about gender expressions in Fódlan and beyond. We aim for content centered around gender in all its variations. This year we choose drag as our topic, may it be as the Blue Heron drag race or any other scenario involving drag as a central topic. The zine will contain all sorts of works centered around the wide ranging topic of gender, may it be cis, trans, nonbinary, agender or inter.What is allowed and what not
This will be a pro-ship zine, meaning that there might be content some might find inapproriate due to falling under the dead dove label. As a rule of thumbs the zine allows any content that is also allowed on ao3, any and all works will be tagged properly with warnings and positive tags.All works have to be centered around drag genderqueernes as a topic. This does not mean, that either the creator or the character has to be a tian person, because cis people are also allowed to toy around with gender and deserve a little HRT as a treat. Gender is for all, not only the cool people ^^All characters from both Fire Emblem: Three Houses and Fire Emblem: Three Hopes are allowed as well as all ships.The works are allowed to portrait queermisia under the condition that it has consequences. This can be for example by showing the physical and mental consequences for the misstreated person or letting the perpetrator experience the backlash for their shitty behaviour. However, deadnaming of either the contributors or the characters is not allowed. If you want to include the topic of deadnames, please avoid writing out the deadname, if the character is already outed and has their chosen name established.Genderbend is not allowed. If you want to give a character another gender than in canon, then please portrait them as tian (more on that in the FAQ), since this zine aims for marginalized gender representations and the specific struggles and joys coming with it.The zine will contain both nsfw and sfw content and all content will be tagged properly.Contributor requirements

FAQ

What is a zine?
Zine is short for magazine and describes a form of amateur magazines, that go back as far as the 1930s. Zines are often a way for subcultures to spread their specific content, especially before the rise of the internet. Examples are sff zines, zines from and about the punk subculture and fandom specific zines (for example Spirk slash zines in the Star Trek community). Read more in the Fanlore Wiki.What does tian mean?
tian stands for trans, intersex, agender and nonbinary and is an umbrella term for all those people, who aren't endocis. This zine aims to portrait as many marginalized gender expressions as possible, tho that of course depends entirely on our contributors and their pitches.What's with inter and endo?
Intersex or short inter people are people whose innate sex characteristics don't fit normative medical or social ideas for female and male bodies. This can be due to a variation in the XY/XX chromosome set, a high testosterone level for people assigned female at birth, genitalia who aren't clearly female or male following a medical definition of the terms and so on. Intersex has many variations. Inter people can identify as cis or trans, it's up for them, how they want to describe themselves.Endo is the opposite, meaning those people whose innate sex characteristics do fit normative medical or social ideas for female and male bodies.What is drag?
Drag stands for "dressed as a girl/guy" and has a long tradition in human history. It doesn't equal trans, as the people doing drag often happen to be cis and use drag as a way to express a part of their personality they usually aren't able to. Drag is a form of art that plays with gender roles and our expectations towards those rolls. People doing drag (called drag queens and drag kings) can have all sorts of gender, they can be cis, trans, inter or endo. They often have their own specific drag queen/king persona with elaborate costumes. Popular real world drag queens are Conchita Wurst, RuPaul or Vaginal Davis.How can I contribute?
We look for brave people to help us mod the zine as well as writer, page, comic, spot and merch artists. Check our schedule to see, when the applications for each role open.Will there be a physical zine?
No. We plan to make this zine digital only.Is this zine for profit or for a charity?
This year we do a charity zine to support trans people worldwide.What charity will you support?
During pre-orders people can choose to donate at least 5€ (or the equivalent in their currency) to a NGO of their choice supporting trans people and fighting for trans rights. Another option is to donate a trans person's mutual aid page. During the interest check we collect NGOs and GFM pages we later will suggest to donate to, but people can always choose to opt for another NGO or mutual aid request that fits our criteria.How will pre-orders work?
If you want to receive the zine, you donate at least 5€ (or the equivalent in your currency) to a NGO supporting trans people and fighting for trans rights or a mutual aid request by a trans person of your choice and make a screenshot of your donation. Said screenshot you then send to the zine's e-mail as proof, and when POs close, we send you the zine's files.With all the zine drama going on how will you make sure that no one runs off with the money?
We will not handle your money ourselves. You spend directly to the NGOs or GFMs. Please do not send money to us!Will this zine be sfw?
We will have a sfw and an nsfw side zine.Due to this we only allow mods & contributors, who are 18+! If you lie about your age and we find out, we'll kick you out faster than you can say "His Princeliness".What kind of work will be included in the zine?
We will have fanfics, page and spot art, comics and digital merch (profile pics, emotes and more).Oh no, I'm endocis. Can I still work with you?
Very sorry to hear that, but yes, of course you can!Do I have to put my chosen character(s) under the gender lasergun and trans their gender?
Apart from this being a very funny and entertaining thing to do it is not neccessary to write any character as tian. Of course we encourage it, but we also believe, that gender is a topic that affects all people, tian as well as endocis. Still, we want a focus of marginalized gender expressions. Therefore genderbend is not wanted for this zine.What about ships? And nations outside Fódlan?
All ships are allowed. This zine's content is not Fódlan exclusive.I think content XY is problematic and should not be featured in the zine!
Please be chill about any kink, dead dove and pairing or other content, even if it might be your personal squick. If you still can't be chill about it, then this zine is quite probably not for you and we ask you to simply not engage further with it.Will there be tags?
Yes, we will do our utmost to tag all works properly with warnings (such as gore, character deaths, queermisia and more) and positive tags (such as the type of AU, gender euphoria, found family and more).So, AUs are allowed?
Absolutely! Any and all AUs are allowed, time travel, fix it, Modern AU and more! However, we won't have crossovers with other fandoms.What else is expected of me as a contributor?
