Sunshine Zine
A John "Soap" MacTavish Appreciation Zine
Welcome to our page! The "Sunshine" Soap Zine is a Soap MacTavish appreciation fanzine planned for 2024.Currently gearing up for zine proofing with our main preorders opening shortly!!
Clothing preorders are already open as of July 1st.The events of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III (2023) left much of the fandom in dire straits, especially those of us who hold Soap near and dear to our hearts.
We as a zine don't aim to make a statement on the events of the game, nor do we want to. Whether you appreciate it or despise what has transpired; do as you please. Here, we are simply gathering to show our love to Johnny. 👊💥
Etsy Storefront
Stay tuned for zine preorders (August 1st!!!)
Clothing preorders are available now!

Project Leaders
Micky
Angie
Angie, one of two project leaders, suggested the idea of a zine to show our appreciation to Soap MacTavish, and by extension Neil Ellice, after the events of MWIII. Micky, her partner in crime, was over the moon and with experience running a previous charity fandom event, joined forces to spearhead Sunshine alongside her.

Get to know our chosen charities!
"Sunshine" will be supporting two organizations with proceeds earned from zine and merchandise sales: Care for Gaza and Stonewall Scotland.
| Care For Gaza | Stonewall Scotland |
|---|---|
| With the ongoing genocide happening in gaza, we here at Sunshine wish to use our time and resources to try and provide aid to the people under siege. Care for Gaza has been working in Palestine since 1948 and still does amazing work to this day. They provide aid to the Palestinian people and share information as they can to bring more to the cause. From their website: “CARE has been working in Palestinian communities since 1948, and over these many decades, we have cultivated a strong network of key local partners. This local network has granted us access to communities that other international organizations cannot reach. We continue to meet humanitarian needs while also working with Palestinian communities to improve healthcare, water and sanitation, and to promote sustainable agriculture and livelihoods.” | Stonewall Scotland has been working to stand up for the rights of the queer community for over thirty years. Not only are a large amount of the Sunshine project members themselves under the “rainbow umbrella”, but we all support our siblings that are if we ourselves are not. Stonewall Scotland provides a mass amount of resources and free materials to the queer community of Scotland, as well as fighting to protect their rights. From their website: “At Stonewall, we stand for lesbian, gay, bi, trans, queer, questioning and ace (LGBTQ+) people everywhere. We imagine a world where all LGBTQ+ people are free to be themselves and we can live our lives to the full.” |

Questions & Answers
how will nsfw content be packaged?
NSFW Merch and the Zine will be wrapped in brown packaging with a fun "spicy" sticker within your package to keep all your goodies safe from prying eyes!
Payment plans/options?
On Etsy there is an option (specifically for US buyers) to set up a payment plan if you need that aid in budgeting. Most importantly, however, please don't feel pressured to spend money you don't have.
Does the Ultimate bundle include clothing?
The clothing merch items are NOT included in our ultimate bundle in order to make it more affordable. Clothing options are available completely separately.
What are the clothing sizes?
Clothing sizes range from US small to 5XL!
Currency Conversions for budgeting?
Here is a reliable currency converter!
Shipping prices?
US orders will be with an Etsy shipping price estimate, whereas EU prices will be in a document listed out. It's a bit slow-going, but please know we are working hard to try and get a proper estimate. Within the contiguous US, even with the Ultimate Bundle, Shipping should not exceed $15USD. Canadian Shipping from the US will be anywhere from $10-$25USD, as an estimate.
