Ever & Anon is a digital monthly Amateur Press Association (APA) about roleplaying games and is published under the Creative Commons (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0) license.
Ever & Anon emerged with the closing of Alarums & Excursions, an APA run by Lee Gold for nearly fifty years. This community of APAers would not exist if not for her steadfast efforts.
Find published issues and contributor guidelines below.
The opinions expressed within each zine are solely those of the individual contributors and do not reflect the opinions of the APA or its management.
Contributors are expected to stay on topic and remain civil to each other. Ever & Anon will be available to the public for free, so matters you don’t want publicly known should be discussed elsewhere. Please adhere to all the normal rules of public discourse: no libel, no inciting violence, no infringement of another’s copyright or trademark, and no pornography.
Zines should use page dimensions of 8.5" x 11" (portrait). Maximum zine length is 16 pages. Maximum length for fiction (other than campaign reports) is 6 pages. Discussion of contemporary politics is discouraged but permitted with a maximum length for political content set at 2 pages. AI-generated artwork is allowed, but AI-generated text is not. If you want to use an AI to help you edit your zine, you may do so. All artwork must be attributed to its creator, whether human or AI, unless it is in the public domain.
When you submit your zine to Ever & Anon, you are granting the APA a perpetual, non-exclusive right to publish your zine in a single issue of the APA, meaning that you retain the copyright to your work, and so you can publish it elsewhere, but you cannot force Ever & Anon to unpublish your zine once it has been published.
