About

The Great Chuunosuke Chronicles is an unofficial The Great Ace Attorney zine featuring Chuunosuke's adventures with his friends and family, all drawn and written in their animal mascot form. The zine is mainly Chuunosuke-centered, so every art, fic, and merch will include him.

Interest checks for a Chuunosuke-centered zine opened on September 1, 2022. The zine would be for profit, safe for work, gen, and centered primarily on Chuunosuke (the mouse mascot form of Ryuunosuke Naruhodou, the game protagonist), although mascot versions of other characters were welcome.

Interest checks closed on October 1, 2022. In a later post on interest check results, over 170 responses were received. Applications for a writer mod opened on September 15, 2022, and lasted to the end of the month. Results for writer mod applications were sent out October 8, 2022. Contributor aplpications were opened from October 15 to November 15, 2022. Emails were sent out at the end of November.

Throughout the course of the zine's run, the project hosted some social media campaigns to encourage followers to share and interact with the account. The project opened its Tumblr account on November 17, 2022, due to changes to Twitter that made it unreliable as a platform.
