Hello and thank you for your interest in our Pearlina fanzine charity project!Our goal is to collaborate with artists and writers to create a book comprised of fanart and fanfiction centered around the relationship between Pearl and Marina from the Nintendo game Splatoon! All proceeds from this fanzine will go to charity that will be announced at a later date.
* We are not affiliated with Nintendo in anyway and we will not be profiting from the proceeds of this project. We are just pearlina fans looking to make more content and donate to charity!
