FAQ


What are the zine specs?
- A5
- Physical and digital
- For-profit
- SFW
- 25 artists, 5 writers, 4-5 merch artists including guests
What characters can be featured in a zine piece? Will ships be allowed?
Any and all characters that have been officially released by the time of the zine’s creation period can be featured in the zine! This includes NPCs as well. Leaked or rumoured characters will not be allowed in the zine. Romantic/sexual ships will also not be allowed, as we would like to keep the zine gen and the relationships purely familial/platonic.
Are AUs allowed in a zine piece?
Yes, both AUs and canon-compliant content will be featured in the zine. Spoilers are allowed as long as the content has been released in-game by the time of the zine’s release. No leaked content will be allowed.
Who is allowed to apply as a contributor?
Everyone aged 16 and above by 26th March 2022 will be allowed to participate in the zine. Those under the age of 18 must have the approval of a guardian and will receive monetary compensation via the guardian’s PayPal, or may choose to opt out of monetary compensation.
Are you looking for other mods/mod interns?
Our team has already been completed via mod apps! We are not looking for mod interns.
How will contributors be compensated?
We are aiming to compensate contributors with free full bundles of the zine including the physical and digital copies of the zine, all available merch items, unlocked stretch goals, shipping and leftover profits. However, if the zine does not break even, all contributors will be given a free digital copy of zine and all merch items will be made available to them at production price.
Where will the zine be shipped from? Will it be available internationally?
Items will be shipped from the USA. We aim to have the zine be available internationally.
