Red & Rude presents the Zine Contributors Intros. Here we introduce Wookie (she/her), a Writer for the zine. Bio: "Hi! I'm Wookie, I'm a huge turtle nerd, and I'm so happy to be a part of this project! This franchise has been a MASSIVE part of my life for the last few years. It motivated me to actually write consistently and come out of my comfort zone, sparked my creativity, and lead me to meet so many amazing people! I can't wait for everyone to see what we can make together :)" Wookie's socials are: Tumblr: alwerakoo. AO3: alwerakoo. Her writing sample is the following: "Once, in the middle of an evening filled with way too much junk food and sugar, Donnie told Leo about clocks. How sometimes, when you look inside an old one, you can see tiny scratches on the gleaming metal of the gears; traces of previous repairs. Witness marks. “Then you know what's been fixed before,” he said, pausing to yawn. Leo thinks that if he were a clock, his interior would be pristine. He never tried to fix anything. It feels like he's been ticking over the same hour for a long, long time." Find the zine on Instagram, Bluesky, Twitter and Tumblr as TMNTZines. The graphic has a dark background with two lines of dark red paint in the top and bottom borders. The logo of the zine is seen in the top left corner.

Red & Rude presents the Zine Contributors Intros. Here we introduce taizi (she/they), a Writer for the zine. Bio: "I’ve been a fan of these turtles since I was a little kid watching the 80s cartoon with my siblings. The hyperfixation really popped off with the 2012 iteration and since then I’ve never looked back. I’m absolutely thrilled to be a part of this project, and hope to do my beloved son Raphael proud. In my free time I play video games (badly) and make passable attempts at crochet animals." taizi's socials are: Tumblr: goodlucktai. AO3: taizi. Her writing sample is the following: "“Noooooooo,” three little turtles protest as their biggest brother rounds out the turtle pile, flattening them to the ground. “Tough luck, bozos,” Raph rumbles. “I ain’t lettin’ a single one of you out of my sight ever again.” Mikey giggles, half-hysterical, a contagious, familiar sound. Donnie shuts his eyes to hear it better. Leo hides his cold face in Raph’s neck and doesn’t say anything else at all. Raph holds them all tight, and imagines a universe where he’s strong enough to never lose them. Maybe it’s this one." Find the zine on Instagram, Bluesky, Twitter and Tumblr as TMNTZines. The graphic has a dark background with two lines of dark red paint in the top and bottom borders. The logo of the zine is seen in the top left corner.

Red & Rude presents the Zine Contributors Intros. Here we introduce redstringraven (she/her/they), a Writer for the zine. Bio: "Helarrr, I'm Hannah (redstringraven)! I've been a 2k3 series fan since it aired, and I’ve spent the last few years developing my own world, culture, characters and conlang to exist alongside the iteration as a bit of a canon-continuation. It’s been a wonderful excuse to dig deep into the series and stretch my storytelling legs, visually and in words! Be it made of turtles, Triceratons, or my own fae-esque nonsense, my head’s always in some sort of cloud. I’m so excited and grateful to be here! ♪(´▽｀) Thank you so much!" redstringraven's socials are: Tumblr: redstringraven. AO3: sirimiri. Her writing sample is the following: "“I dunno,” Mikey says, “iiiit’s just… y’look kind of tired? And… Klunk super doesn’t wanna leave your lap. Which is weird! Because he hasn't had breakfast! And I offered him a tube! He ALWAYS wants tube.” Leo opens his eyes and frowns as he looks at Mikey. Mikey shifts his weight and wrings his wrists in his lap. Leo didn’t have that needling look in his eyes like he had a few months ago, but… guess he’d started expecting a half-hearted glare and a growl. Leo must have realized this, too. He winces, and his features weaken. “Mikey, I’m okay,” he says. Mikey's lips twitch into a weak smile, but it must not have looked convincing. Leo sighs, "really, I’m just… Maybe I've just got a cold.” “—a cold?” Mikey echoes, now alert. Somewhere, in the back of his mind, he knows it's irrational, but he doesn't care."
