what is "on the rocks"?

on the rocks was a for-profit va-11 hall-a fanzine project, an anthology of fanworks that concluded April 2021.
last year, we had 23 page artists, 5 merch artists, and 4 writers.
we also donated $1000 of profits to the cuatro por venezuela foundation.
this year, we're hosting a second installment of the zine for both those who were already following our project, as well as those who missed it the first time around.
