Frequently Asked Questions

What is a "zine"?
A zine, or fanzine, is used to name a project for an unofficial, fanmade publication that can be digital, physical, or both. Zines often contain a mix of artworks, writing, and merchandise for a specific fandom. Zines are the product of either a single person or a small group.
Zines are also a small-circulation, self-published work of original texts or images, usually reproduced via a copy machine. At least, that was how zines started, and they are even still made that way today.Is the zine SFW and NSFW?
The zine will consist of SFW creations only.
Is there any content other than NSFW that will not be allowed in the zine?
Yes! Aside from NSFW content, incest, pedophilia and other dead dove content will not be allowed in the zine. This is to make sure majority of the fandom can enjoy the zine.
How many artists and writers will you be accepting?
We are currently expecting to accept 10 artists, 5 writers, 3-5 merch artists, and 2 poets as of the time being. These number are not effected by guests or mods participating in the zine. These numbers may change depending on number of applications.
How old do contributors need to be?
We ask that all applicants be at least 16 years of age by the end of contributor apps.
How will contributor applications be evaluated?
Artists will be judged on aspects such as technical skill (lighting, perspective, use of color, etc.), composition, anatomy, and style.
Merch artists will be judged on technical aspects such as anatomy, composition, use of colors, as well as the overall appeal of their designs.Writers will be judged on grammar, syntax, flow, and characterization. Other possible criteria could include the ability to tell a story within the required word count. Such criteria will depend on what writer roles are preferred within the interest check.Poets (whose work will appear on certain merch) will be judged on style, flow, and other possible aspects important to poetry.Can an older piece be submitted for this zine?
Contributors will be asked to create new works to match approved pitches for the final pieces they submit to be published within the zine.
What characters are allowed in the zine?
Any character from the manga is accepted in this zine. That means manga spoilers may occur. For pieces that contain manga spoilers, we will do our best to have a warning.
Will ships be allowed in the zine?
Yes, ships will be allowed within the zine! We do, however, wish to have a variety, so only two pitches of any one ship will be allowed. The same will be said for pieces focused on one individual character.
