Once upon a time there was a scribe named Alhaitham and a general named Cyno. Together they braved many adventures in these enchanted tales:
Enchanted Tales is a non-profit CyHaino zine where we will be taking fairytales, myths, and fables and adapting them with our favorite boys; Cyno and Alhaitham!
Mods
Meg (She/Her ⚖ Co-Head & Graphics Mod)
Hi I'm Meg!
This is my first time heading a zine, but I've been running a successful online shop for over 4+yrs. I've been drawing Cyhaino since Cyno first dropped out of the sky to fight Alhaitham and they haven't left my brain ever since. I'm looking forward to seeing them come to life in all sorts of tales!
Chex Lex (They/Them 📖 Co-Head & Shipping Mod)
Hi there, I'm Chex Lex!
My pronouns are they/them. I am your second Co-Head Mod, and I couldn't be more excited! I've been head mod most recently for Lurking in the Deep: a genshin seas charity zine, as well as finance, production, and shipping. I've also been head mod for multiple Nucarnival zines.
CyHaiNo gripped me so tightly two years ago, and I've been on this rollercoaster ever since. I think that fight scene changed all of our brains chemically if I'm being honest. You will never pry them away from me and they will get their happily ever after even if I have to do it myself!
Diana (She/Her ⚖ Social Media Mod)
Hi y'all, I'm Diana (✿◠‿◠) My pronouns are she/her and I've been part of a couple of zine projects like Bombshell (MHA), Sweet Treats for Edmond (Nu:Carnival), and Lurking in the Deep (Genshin Impact), as well as a couple currently on-going projects in the MHA fandom as Graphics and/or Formatting Mod. I'm a sucker for a good fantastical story, and I can't wait to see Cyno and AlHaitham be thrown in the deep end of a cute little fairytale setting.
Sarah (She/Her 📖 Writing Mod)
Hi hi hi! I'm Sarah, I use she/her pronouns, and I'm so happy to be here as your Writing Mod! I was the writing mod for for Lurking in the Deep (Genshin Impact charity zine), I'm involved in a couple projects in the BNHA fandom, and I'm always looking to sink my teeth into a good story.
Loving fantasy is a core personality trait of mine, and I'm so excited to see all the different ways Alhaitham and Cyno come together in fairytales and beyond.
Lijah (He/They ⚖ Art Mod)
Hello there! I'm Lijah and I'm that Art Mod for this here project! My pronouns are He/They. I've been Chex Lex's right-hand man for multiple zine projects, including being the Merch Mod for Lurking in the Deep: A Genshin Seas Charity Zine, as well as modding for a handful of NuCarnival zines (Art Mod for Sweet Treats For Edmond and Lumberjack: a Quincy Fanzine, and General Assistant Mod for Essence of a Birthday: A Rei Zine). I started playing Genshin in 3.0 and Cyno was the first boy to make me open my now poor, abused wallet. It was kind of downhill from there, and seeing Cyno and Alhaitham interact really sealed the deal for me to keep playing. I'm so excited to see what fantastical stories we'll be able to tell together!
F.A.Q.
What is a zine?
A zine or fanzine is a collection of artworks and written works made for fans by fans. It can be a physical copy, digital copy, or both. This one will be digital.✨Will this be free, for profit, non-profit, or for charity?
this is a non-profit zine and all merch (in addition to the book) will be sold at manufacturing cost + shipping.✨Will OCs, other character/s, and/or ships be featured?
Yes, OCs, other characters, and additional ships are allowed so long as the main focus of the piece is CyHaiNo. (Cyno/Alhaitham).✨Are there any content restrictions?
This is a SFW project. This means that romantic themes will be allowed but anything explicit or problematic will not be included in this zine. We know that some fairytales can be rather dark in their original format but we encourage everyone to think Rated T or PG-13 for the guidelines. ✨Who is allowed to apply?
Everyone must be 18+ in order to participate.✨Why are minors not allowed?
While the Zine itself is SFW, we will be providing a space for contributors to share NSFW content in a social setting in the discord server. We will not be allowing minors to participate for the safety of themselves and everyone involved.✨Do I need to have zine experience to apply?
No, we are happy to welcome anyone with or without experience. We believe that everyone starts somewhere.✨Do I need to have Discord?
Yes, all contributors and mods must have a discord account. Discord will be the key platform for communication with contributors throughout the zine period.✨Can I apply for more than one position?
Applicants may apply for multiple roles.✨What is your stance on AI?
USE OF AI-GENERATED ART OR FICS IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED!
We will not allow the use of AI work in any capacity in this project, so please do not submit any piece(s) generated using AI. If you are found to be submitting AI work, you will be removed from the project and any and all credit you received will be rescinded.✨Is there anything else I should know?
This zine focuses on all dynamics of the relationship between Cyno and Alhaitham (Haino, Cytham, and CyHaiNo). While there will be no sexual content in this zine, keep in mind either man could be depicted in ways that seem submissive or domineering towards one another.
This zine is a welcome place for all. Harassment or Hate speech of any kind will not be tolerated.
