Kintsugi: The Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with gold, silver, or platinum. As a philosophy, it treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise.
♡
The Art of Disrepair is a small, invite only mini-zine, focused around NSFW content of the Ace Attorney ship FranMaya. It is loosely themed around the practice of kintsugi, wherein items that are broken are repaired using gold and the cracks are considered part of the beauty of the item. We wanted to create a zine celebrating the way sex can be healing!This zine was created out of a desire to see more sapphic smut content in the world, and has grown into an incredible team of both mods and contributors! We're so excited to bring this zine to the world, and hopefully print it as a physical booklet for all of you!Current Phase: Creation Period & Interest Check

Our Contributors
F A Q
What is a zine?
A zine is a small book created and distributed by fans on a particular subject that they really care about, for other fans. They usually contain art and writing, and many come with fan-made merchandise sold in bundles of various sizes. This zine is themed around the sexual relationship of Maya and Franziska from the Ace Attorney games.♡Will any other ships be present?
No♡Will this zine include kink content
Yes, this is a kink positive zine! We will be including both realistic & fantasy kinks, such as teratophilia/monster AU's! That being said, all of the work in this zine will be safe, sane, & consensual between Franziska & Maya, who are both 18+ in the zine & canon material.♡Will the zine include spoilers?
The fics in the zine may include spoilers for the games that Franziska and Maya are in. We cannot guarantee with 100% certainty that there will not be spoilers within the zine.♡Why is this zine invite-only?
For this project we wanted to keep the scope extremely small, and be certain that all the contributors were adults! We really wanted to make sure we would be able to make the zine physical, so having a realistic scope was very important to us.♡Will this zine be physical or digital and will it cost money?
Our aim for this zine is to create a physical zine booklet and physical merchandise. However, if we do not make enough money to break even, buyers will be refunded and the project will be changed to become digital only.♡How will you make merchandise for an NSFW zine?
Paper merch that can be kept in private spaces such as prints & bookmarks will feature more than suggestive work, as will the interior of the zine. Merch like stickers & charms that might be put on something that goes outside your house will be more suggestive, rather than fully NSFW in nature.♡I have a question that wasn’t answered here.
