About

Lil'Wonders is a digital charity zine featuring the casts of the Danganronpa games as kindergarteners! Join them on their schooldays and weekends living out their lives free of worries (aside from maybe a scraped knee, oh dear!) and delve into the world of carefree imagination!This zine will be completely SFW, and will NOT allow any heavy topics or anything inappropriate to be in it.

Frequently Asked Questions

✨How old do you have to be to apply to the zine?✨
The zine is open to contributors who are 15+! Moderators are preferably 18+.
-
✨How many contributors will there be?✨
Depends on the results of the interest check!
-
✨What are contributors expected to make?✨
Each contributor is expected to make one piece for the zine, or a few more depending in the case of merch artists. Writers will be expected to have their pieces be about 2.5-3K words.
-
✨What kind of requirements are there to be a contributor?✨
For artists we're looking for a basic understanding of anatomy (especially with children) as well as colors! For writers, we're looking for a good understanding of characterization (of course the zine will allow for some OOC as a majority are little kids) as well as easy readability and formatting.
-
✨What kind of compensation will there be for contributors?✨
Each contributor will receive a copy of the zine, as well as merch! Profits made from the zine will be going towards a charity (Which one is TBD)!
-
✨Which characters will be children?✨
The characters of the three main games, as well as some from UDG such as Komaru and Yuta, along with some characters from the DR3 anime, like Ruruka or Seiko! Canonically adult characters will stay as adults, be it as parents or staff! For example, Hiroko and Taichi will stay as parents, while characters like Chisa will be teachers!
-
✨What changes may there be for some characters in the AU?✨
Because some characters in their current storylines have differing appearances due to their backstories, they will have different appearances compared to how we are used to seeing them! For example, Nekomaru, who has a weak heart, unfortunately, won't be an extremely buff baby. Kazuichi will have black hair and glasses, and Nagito will not be sickly and diagnosed with cancer and dementia, so he will have a different hair color than our regular cottony white, be it strawberry-blonde, brown, whatever creators find fitting!
-
✨Are there characters/themes that will not be allowed?✨
certainly! Due to continuity and it being a lighthearted zine, some characters will not be allowed to make an appearance (e.g. genocider out of respect for DID, or korekiyo's sister which is an ABSOLUTE nono!)
-
✨FOLLOW-UP: Why is Syo not allowed?✨
There are two main reasons:
a) her time of origin is hard to trace, there is a general estimate but not enough certainity on WHEN for the mod team to feel comfortable potentially portraying Toko's DID wrong
b) her heavy association with murder is at odds with the zine's lighthearted, sfw themesPlease understand this decision did not come out of a dislike towards Syo or an intent to disrespect DID. We are by no means implying Syo does not exist at the time when the zine takes place (as this is, once again, hard to know for sure) but rather that Syo just will not appear as a character on PIECES within the zine.✨What about Izuru?✨
Izuru also will not be on the zine
-
✨What about the Warriors of Hope?✨
They haven't been born yet <3
