Wince is an online zine/archive focused on whump nonfiction and original fiction.

In their about page, they state:

Whump saw a boom on Tumblr around 2016. The community blossomed, as did resources and celebrations of favorite tropes. (Whumpapedia has collected many of these.) While original character fics, podcasts, podfics, writing challenges, prompt lists, medical explainers and so much more flourished, there was no centralized, curated collection of great writing. Wince seeks to fill that gap.

So far, Wince has published three issues. Articles include book reviews, interviews, fandom histories, personal essays, writing how-tos, and original whump-centric fiction.
