Welcome!

Founded in 2020, THE VANILLA COLLECTIVE is a group of creatives who care deeply about transgressive and taboo work. This site features some public work & projects.

Active Member-Run Projects

Soft Serve

SOFT SERVE is Vanilla's themed serial zine for a wider audience. SOFT SERVE releases twice a year digitally in June and December. It features both contributors from Vanilla and guests who have been invited to collaborate on each theme. Curators—all members of Vanilla—change between issues, hand-picking themes and contributors to showcase what they love and want to see more of in creative work.

EroCreativeResources

ECR was made as a home for resources to counteract the growing hostility to erotic art depicting hardcore and taboo kinks. While there are other organizations that focus on "vanilla," softcore erotic or queer art, this site focuses on the defense, protection, and preservation of fictional works depicting taboo kinks, including but not limited to lolisho, incest, eroguro, and whether defined as visual arts, writing, or video games.

DON'S DEAD MARKET

A new yearly event combining art bundles and virtual artist markets centered on taboo achillean erotic art!

NaZine I

A beautiful, refined, and uniquely unsettling full-color collaborative work of both art and prose delving into the fantasies of those who find particular joy in the aesthetic of Nazisploitation--a genre long misunderstood and abhorred by the uninitiated. Are you ready to be In The Know?

Like Fine Wine

Like Fine Wine is an upcoming zine featuring middle-aged (or older) male characters with significantly younger partners of any gender. It is currently being formatted and will be released as a free digital zine upon completion.
