2024 Second Edition

GID stands for Guys In Distress, which is a flip on the traditional “damsel in distress” trope. It may also fall under the categories of male bondage, whump, hurt/comfort, dubcon/noncon, etc.

The second edition of the Zine of GID will feature original artwork and literature centered on male distress. This charity zine is 18+, and all proceeds will be donated to ANERA for Palestenian relief.

The zine will include 22 pieces of original artwork and 23 pieces of original writing, bonus content, and a merch bundle available for purchase.

Preorders for physical items have closed. You can still order a digital copy HERE
