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 whump, hurt/comfort, male bondage, dubcon/noncon, etc. The first edition of the Zine of GID featured original and fan-based artwork and literature centered on male distress. This charity zine was 18+, and together we donated $1006.21 to RAINN.
The 2023 zine included 19 short stories, 23 artworks, and bonus content. Our merch bundle had stickers, bookmarks, an art print, paperdoll, button pins, and an acrylic keychain.
WOW! We made the First Edition PDF available again! SHOP 2023 ITEMS HERE
