Winx Club fan magazine covers

[WinxClub4Life]

Yeah I imagine something similar to the So Diva magazine,it's a really new digital magazine. New as in the first issue came out a few weeks back but like every few months with Winx fans working on it Though it wouldn't exactly work considering it's often that we are left waiting for months or even years on end after a project ends for something new so a magazine format doesn't really work for the current state of Winx

Oh, I actually did think about the forum zine being focused on current day winx, yeah that definitely wouldn't work. I was thinking more about articles about the history of the winx club and whatever interests the users.

In all honesty it shouldn't be strictly Winx related in my opinion,like for example it should be like a normal PG rated magazine but with a sprinkle of Winx on top. Maybe we should add the old comics in HD,do retrospectives,deep dives,interviews with Winx fans but I also think that it should have some pages dedicated to fanart since Bloom is an artist,some pages dedicated to fashion since Stella loves fashion,some pages dedicated to music etc. like what I'm saying is going more broad but still having the charm and spirit of Winx would make for a more interesting result if you ask me because I already know a lot about the franchise and I feel like covering newer things that can still be connected to the Winx girls and their interests while also keeping the magic of Winx alive by looking back at the times when Winx was at it's peak popularity (and in my opinion quality as well)

That's kinda what I've meant. Have an article about winx to connect with the theme of the forum and rest about whatever else, be it fashion, hobbies, books, music, art, history or travel, maybe just tiny but connected to the winx article. Say if the winx article was about Gradenia, or Bloom before Winx, then there could be article about flowers (or caring for house plants), fashion trends similar to scenes in Gardenia, history of perfumes of that smell, some flower name band or actual place on earth, whatever anupyone willing to write can come up with.

Wait we genuinely need to write this down for future possibilities oh my god

[Salomea]

well it's here for the moment

[WinxClub4Life]

okay so i imagine three articles under an umbrella topic for all the girls.



the first article of bloom's would feature fanart, the second article would have drawing tutorials & her third and last article would entail an analysis of magical/mythological legends and beings like fairies,sirens,pixies etc.



flora's first article would have new plant and a small tutorial on how to grow and nurture it every issue,the second artie would teach aromatherapy because i remember in the first episode of the second season in the 4k!ds dub or the quest for the codex ds game studying aromatherapy during the summer vacation and the third article would be a small diy tutorial for a cute little trinket



aisha/layla's first article would teach the reader a choreographed dance and the second article would give recommendations on fun things to do with friends that she has done with the winx off screen (i headcanon that they spent a bit of time together as friends every summer and that's how aisha became closer to the rest of the winx and it explains why she feels so at home with the winx that she trusts them while she's blind) sadly i have no idea what her last article should be so i need some ideas here



musa's first article would introduce an instrument, it's history and how it's played. her second article would talk about a genre of music, the most popular artists of that genre, it's history and such. & her last article would be reviewing an album or artist,doesn't matter old or new



stella's first article would be talking about the latest trends in fashion, her second article would have fashion/interior/hair/makeup design inspiration or a retrospective of the best outfits of the winx and the last article would be a horoscope but with the winx zodiac signs but it's based off of solar systems or realms instead of stars and planets



tecna's first article would teach people about coding,the second article would be about existing or upcoming winx fan games or in general projects in the digital space relating to winx & her last page would be a quiz or riddle or secret message in code



keep in mind this is just me throwing concepts to the wall and see what sticks so it's very much open to change and criticism. i'm also considering dumping the third article ides for quizzes instead for every girl and i also want to bring in a character every few issues to spice things up like for example have the trix "take over" the magazine but in the end it turns out tecna and mirta got together to make this illusion that trix took over the magazine and in easter kiko would have his own article relating to the holiday. i also think about doing an article of a random topic every issue kinda like a freeform article. i also think about a little letterbox where people can give suggestions,characters they wanna see and such. i also think about doing articles with other fans or original characters. i also think about doing a sudoku or crossword puzzle. maybe we could even talk to harpa to include book reccomendations and we could also add a few of the pictures from the wa funny pictures topic. we could also do an album/artist,movie,TV show,game recommendations and such. i also think about adding a little page towards the end where you write down your hopes and dreams as kind of a way of manifestation

I love how we went from question if it's possible to a ready outline also love the structure You came up with and the fact that it's very flexible for topics. I feel like basically any article someone would want to write could find its section. Say, art history essey about creator or art piece - bloom, anything ecology, or nature, like forest bathing - flora, game review or news, new tech - tecna, I feel like even puzzles would work for her part, travel, trekking, health and fitness all could go to layla/aisha. So whatever a contributor could want to share, there is a space for it. And yeah, thrix for halloween could work too

Btw maybe we should ask mods to put this conversation into a separate topic?

i love your ideas but i avoided the whole sports thing for Aisha because in the first 3 seasons she wasn't really implied to be the sporty one of the group but the comics and the later seasons made her the sporty one which...was a choice but i suppose it could be the theme of Aisha's articles. maybe she can introduce athletes and sports???

history should go to Bloom if it should go to anybody but i'm scared then it'll feel homework which is definitely not what i'm aiming for,i think we should stick to art and fantasy.

i was also thinking about how i heard in the older magazines (the physical ones that were sold in real life that came with the comics) that flora gave skincare advice and tutorials for natural face masks & i think it's fine to implement since there is already a topic about cosmetics

that's actually a good idea now that you mentioned it

In 2nd season she was clearly into snow sports, motor sports and was accomplished climber and swimmer, that's why sport.

Haha, that's why I would leave it open to whoever may like contribute to given issue.
