About

German Crime Zine ist eine Sammlung von Fanwerken zu deutschen Krimiserien, die als Buch und als PDF erscheinen wird. Das Projekt beschäftigt sich mit den vielfältigen Beziehungen der Charaktere untereinander, seien sie romantisch oder platonisch. Die Arbeiten umfassen Geschichten, Illustrationen, Comics, Meta-Analysen und mehr. Das Ziel des Projektes ist es am Ende ein Buch anzubieten, das alle eingereichten Werke umfasst.

Das zine soll einen Querschnitt durch das vielfältige deutschsprachige Krimiserien-fandom darstellen und unser gemeinsames Interesse an den Charakteren und ihren Beziehungen feiern! [1]

Timeline

The interest check for this zine began on 3 March 2023 and the contributor applications ran from 15 March to 15 April 2023.[2] Results for the applications were emailed out on 30 April 2023.[3] By 2 June 2023, the project moved into its creation period[4] although they announced a few days later that they were looking a merch artist to create something for the Leo Hölzer/Adam Schürk pairing from Tatort.[5]

Preorders opened on 11 August 2023 with the following pricing tiers[6]:

  • Digitalisierung (5€ EUR): PDF
  • Aktenmappe (17€ EUR): Zine + PDF
  • Beweismaterial (25€ EUR): Zine + 3x Stickers + 4x A6 Postcards + Bookmark + PDF

There was a last minute sale announced on 6 October 2023, lasting two days, which would be the last chance to preorder the zine before it went to print.[7]

The zines began to be packaged on 15 November 2023[8] and were sent out by 21 November.[9] With 5 zines and 10 merch packets remaining, a left over sale was held from 15 to 17 December 2023.[10]

On 7 February 2024, an announcement was made regarding the money that was left over after expenses, which totalled 151,17€. The contributors were able to vote on which charities received the money. In the end, 70€ was donated to Seebrücke and 80,17€ was donated to CORRECTIV.[11]
