The Great Turnabout

The Great Turnabout is a scrapbook-themed, splot-profit zine featuring characters from The Great Ace Attorney video games.
==About==
The project was first announced on July 11, 2021, as a non-profit fanzine featuring original work about the game's charactershttps://twitter.com/daigyakutenzine/status/1414267925553238022. Interests ran from July 16 to August 8, 2021https://twitter.com/daigyakutenzine/status/1416078929408839680. Mod applications could be submitted from July 13 to July 25th for the positions of visual art, finance, production, and supporthttps://twitter.com/daigyakutenzine/status/1414971011032698880. The contributor application window was delayed because the mod team needed to handle to restructure the project when one of the moderators went unexpectedly absenthttps://twitter.com/daigyakutenzine/status/1423846254585421824.
During this time, the project hosted a giveway to celeberate the international release of The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles on July 27, 2021https://twitter.com/daigyakutenzine/status/1420234924578148356. Originally, the winner would receive an official acrylic standee of their choice, but the reward was later changed to an acrylic charm designed by Nao (nyansougi) when the acrylic standees sold out online before the giveaway was overhttps://twitter.com/daigyakutenzine/status/1438559868231634948. The winners of this giveaway were delcared three months later on September 20https://twitter.com/daigyakutenzine/status/1440033992753836035.
After interest check results were evaluated, the mod team came out on September 25, 2021, announcing that the finalized theme of the project would be a scrapbookhttps://twitter.com/daigyakutenzine/status/1441882701007515651. In addition to full page illustrations, The Great Turnabout would give page artists the opportunity to contribute pieces meant to take up smaller portions of the page as mementos and doodles on the scrapbook pages or in collaborations with writers. Writers could write "traditional" short story fanfiction or take an epistolary approach and create letters and journal entries in the point of view of the game's characters. This led up to the Contributor applications running from September 27 to October 24, 2021https://twitter.com/daigyakutenzine/status/1442398678258368517. A reported total of 340 applications across all categories were submittedhttps://twitter.com/daigyakutenzine/status/1452753707334967296, resulting in a delay in releasing application resultshttps://twitter.com/daigyakutenzine/status/1454661366782906374.
