About the zine
Won't Stop Biggering is an unofficial, for-charity zine focused on The Lorax (2012)'s character, "The Once-ler"!We aim to create a general SFW digital fanzine, which will be including illustrated and written pieces. While the zine will be digital, we will be featuring both physical and digital merchandise, ranging from printables to charms and buttons. After the cost of manufacturing and shipping all orders have been done, the rest of the proceeds will be going to the charity: Trees, Water & People.This project concluded in August 2022. Thank you to all our supporters and contributors for making this zine possible!

ONE. What is a zine?
A zine is a fandom magazine made by fans for fans! It is a non-official publication featuring a collection of art and writing, with additional merch.TWO. What is the focus of the zine? Are OCs allowed?
The focus of the zine is to celebrate the decade anniversary of the movie The Lorax, but specifically, "The Once-ler." Although the main focus remains on the canon iterations of the Once-ler (Once-ler, Greed-ler, Old-ler), the zine also features pieces that pay homage to OCs, as they were and still are a big part of the fandom.THREE. Will this zine be digital or physical? Merch?
This will be a digital-only zine with both digital and physical merch! No physical books will be sold or shipped.FOUR. Will this zine be for-profit or non-profit?
This is a non-profit project in which any profits made, after taking care of all manufacturing and shipping costs, will be donated to charity. We'll be donating to the charity, Trees, Water & People.FIVE. How will contributors be compensated?
Contributors will be receiving a free copy of the digital zine and, if profits allow, the physical merch.SIX. How much will the zine cost? How will it be distributed?
The zine is a pay-what-you-want with a starting price of $3.98 USD, same as the Thneed! The PWYW, if you'd like to purchase the zine at a higher price than the base price, is there for if you'd like to donate more to charity. The zine will be available to buy and immediately downloaded on our Gumroad starting March 2nd.

Head Mod, Social Media
Hihi! I'm Ezra! A 26 year old from Arizona! I'm a big appreciator of all things so-ironic-it-becomes-unironic, AKA The Onceler. And I'm more than eager to celebrate the 10 Year Anniversary of The Man, The Myth, The Legend™️!While this is my first time modding a zine, I have a lot of experience in leadership and management under my belt! But I also have been a participant in a Danganronpa Zine as a writer before!I'm honored to Head this project, and run the socials while I'm at it!
➷ Mod Slow
Co-Head Mod
Hey there! I’m Slow, I’m a 18 year old from California. I was eight when The Lorax came out and have been haunted by how much of a bop “How Bad Can I Be?” is since I’ve first heard it. I’m super excited to make this zine a reality; The Lorax was a big part of my young childhood and it’s - and Oncie’s - anniversary deserves some celebration!This is my second zine, though the first one I’ve been a mod for! I’m excited to just be a general help for the project and to oversee it! I love to see people come together to create something wonderful- let’s have fun with this silly, glorious concept!
➷ Mod Karu
Art Mod
Hiya!! I’m Karu! A 18 year old artist based in Canada. Super duper excited to help celebrate Mr. Onceler’s 10th anniversary! King deserves it. (I cried at the end of the movie.)It’s my first time on a mod team, but I’ve been in many different zines across different fandoms, as well as experience selling at conventions. So I hope to give you guys my all and provide the best Onceler Zine me and all the lovely people on the project can offer! <3
➷ Mod Maybell
Writer Mod, Finance & Shipping
Heyo! I’m Maybell, a 20 year old college student living in Texas, USA! I’m serving primarily as the writing mod and I’m also one of the financing mods for this zine! This is my first time moderating a zine, but I am so excited to be able to pay respects to the one and the only Onceler. As a kid, I was a huge fan of Dr. Seuss (read: still am but don’t tell anyone, shhhh). The Lorax is such a powerful and moving story, so I can only hope we can pay it justice by honoring the villainy of Mr. Biggering himself.While this is my first time moderating a zine, I have a lot of leadership experience under my belt. I also have been writing since I could read. I’m new to this entire scene, but you can count on me to do my absolute best! ^^ Ya-hoo! How bad can we be™
➷ Mod Tate
Formatting Mod
Heya I'm Tate!! I'm a 20 y/o artist suffering from uni and zine hell, and vibing here as the formatting mod! I really liked the Lorax movie when I was younger and watched it a few times (I thought the Onceler/Greedler was cute coughs), but I hadn't delved into the fandom until now (though I did see a few things from it during my time on Tumblr). I listened to Biggering for the first time this year and felt something wake up in me. Happy anniversary, you funky green dude.I've only started modding zines in the latter half of 2020, with four completed, but I've contributed to several multi-fandom zines in the past four years! I'm looking forward to working with you all!
