a life with you
Welcome to a life with you: a 2seok zine around portraying the relationship through the stages of life.
Please use the buttons to navigate through our card and know more about the zine.
About
This zine revolves around the concept of Seokjin and Hoseok spending their entire life together. This zine will be divided into four sections: childhood, teenagers, adulthood, and elderly.
Even though this zine will be ship-focused, it is not mandatory for the pair to be romantically involved. In fact, it won't be allowed to portray any kind of romantic relationship in the childhood section. Our contributors' works may also portray other BTS members and other side-ships; always taking into account that the focus of this zine are Seokjin and Hoseok.
A life with you aims to include 16 page artists, 4 writers, 4 merch artists, and 1 cover artist. This initial count does not include guest artists/writers or mod spots.

Hello everyone, I am Alejandro, I want to consider myself to be a rather decent writer and artist, although I still have a lot to learn. I was drawn to a more creative journey in my life thanks to my mother, who holds a Ph.D. in philology.
Furthermore, I'm an Arabist who is currently studying for a master's degree in Teaching Spanish as a Second Language. I speak Spanish, English, Chinese, and Arabic.
I have participated in small projects in a management role and a contributor role since 2015. But I started working on BTS-related projects in 2019, with the first zine that I managed being Hell's Fire: a BTSxDemons zine. I am also a mod on Daechwita: a Min Yoongi historical zine. Both of them are close to being finished. I am really passionate about group projects and being able to have a platform for amazing content creators to thrive in and work together towards a goal.
I am really excited about this project. Even though I am aware that 2seok is a rare ship and will need much more promotion than other Zines. The reason behind the theme is that I, personally, really enjoy art and stories that include different parts of the life of a beautiful ship like 2seok. Projects that not just center themselves on the current stage in life that 2seok is living, but that can find a beautiful relationship in all the stages in life.
Thank you so much for taking interest in this project, I hope we can do something amazing together!

I’m studying design and Korean studies as majors in university!! and I’ve been with the boys since 2016 but I’ve been only actively creating fanart since 2019!! I’ve been part of a zine before and currently am still part of other zines as well!! I wanted to join this project mainly because I think our babies deserve their own zine and representation!! and I really can’t wait for all of us to bring this project to life and create a beautiful bundle of greatness for our babies 2seok!! 💚
