hi would you consider orochimaru related content for this zine since they are only ex-member of Akatsuki? thank you
Hey! We allow any character who has been a member of the Akatsuki at any point in time to be the focus of a piece, Orochimaru included 💜

hi, in your Questions section you mentioned that smut isn't allowed for characters 12 or under. Could you elaborate on that? It's alright for characters who are minors but over 12?
Hey! Seeing as most of the characters are teenagers in Shippuden, smut featuring characters who've entered their teens will be permitted in the NSFW zine, even if they're still minors 💜
To be clear, this zine does not support censorship.

Hey! It says fics/poems will accompany comics/art. Which way does it go? Will one be first and the other made to match? Do an artist & writer team up & do something for the same topic at the same time?
Oh, and will we be allowed to share our works publicly eventually & if so, when?
Thank you in advance!
Hey! Essentially, we'll pair up artists and authors/poets based on their pitches, doing our best to put together people with similar ideas, but only one pitch will actually be approved per team. Artists and authors/poets will be working on the same schedule to create pieces that go together, based on the same idea. That said, we really encourage collaboration when it comes to fleshing out said ideas, so if teams want to make alterations to their assigned pitch once they start brainstorming together, that's more than alright 💜
Additionally, if we have some participants who would like to work one at a time (fic first, art later, or vice versa, etc.) then paired teams will be welcome to approach the mods to discuss it! There's always some flexibility.
As for sharing publicly, once all orders have been shipped out and most received, people will be welcome to begin sharing their works publicly! 💜

I was gonna apply but when I looked up the mods the head mod hasnt shipped their first zine and has three more already started. Can anyone vouch for them not to be another runner? Thanks.
Hey! The head mod will be shipping the first zine mid-February, before applications wrap-up for this zine. The schedule was planned that way deliberately as we wouldn't want anyone applying to a zine they're not confident in! Please, feel welcome to wait and apply later on, once people have started receiving their orders for the first zine 💜
You are, of course, welcome to look into the other projects the head mod has worked on (a few of which some of our mods have participated in) and how they've been carried out, but as the cookbook was the first fan zine specifically, and those obviously operate under different requirements, for your own peace of mind we do encourage anyone who likes to err on the side of caution to wait to see that project followed through in its entirety, which we have no doubts it will be as orders are already being packed 💜

I am not sure if I already applied or only filled out the interest check. How do I find out?
Hey! Just go ahead and message off anon through either tumblr or twitter with the email you would've used to apply and the role(s) you would've applied to and we can check for you 💜

Who are the mods? I don't think the page is updated??
Hey! The carrd hasn't been updated yet, but you'll find the mods followed on the zine twitter 💜

I couldn't tell at all who this zine was about, had to go all the way into your contributor info doc in your application forms to finally see "Naruto" because while I thought it was Akatsuki from Naruto, I wasn't too sure...I think it might help to have"Akatsuki from Naruto" somewhere on your socials (I came through twitter, idk about other platforms) because it's not clear at all.
Hey nonny! Your feedback is much appreciated. Sorry to hear there was some confusion with the name! We'll consider adding a mention on the carrd homepage 💜

Hi there! I just saw the post about having a Naruto sample. I'm so sorry, I applied for merch artist and I didn't include a Naruto sample. Should I resubmit or contact the mods?
Hey! The simplest thing to do is resubmit and we'll take your most recent application as the one to go over 💜
Rogue Nin · 4mo
Hello! Similarly to what someone else had asked, do we need to include art samples that are horror based? And do they need to be Naruto/Akatsuki related?
Hey! At least one sample should be related to Naruto, but otherwise, your samples can be from any genre and fandom 💜
Additionally, at least one sample should be in the format you're applying for, which is to say: if you want to create a comic, at least one sample submitted should be a comic, if you want to create merch, at least one sample submitted should be a merch design.

another questions; for the writings samples, does each sample have to be within the 2k-5k words range? or is that the total word count for all three samples?
Hey! Each individual sample should be within the 2k - 5.5k range 💜

hi! maybe i'm just misunderstanding, but the sample submitting section in the writer application form is confusing me? what do i link to, a google doc, a pdf file? can i put all 3 samples in the same document and label them as needed?
Hey! Google docs are definitely the easiest thing to link, but you're also welcome to link to PDF files (or any other file format that doesn't require a special program to open) if that's what you prefer. We do, however, ask that you separate your samples into three individual files. Let us know if you have any other questions! 💜

Quick question! Do the writing samples that I submit for the fic author application have to be horror-focused?
Hey! Not at all, if you have any horror focused samples we'd love to see them, but it's not a requirement 💜

Hi quick question! Will ship art, vague or the main focus, between the duos be allowed? Like kisaita, kakuhida, etc?
In the SFW zine, ships are allowed but are not the main focus. In the NSFW zine, most work will likely be focused on ships ❤️

What's the differences between sfw and nsfw for this zine? I feel every zine always has different rules. A lot of servers I've been in consider horror itself nsfw.. also some consider Male characters with Big tits also nsfw even tho male. So I'd definitely like more clarification for what counts as each area for this. (If this was posted and I missed it my bad. Tried to read all the posts before asking this)
Hey, for the purposes of this project, NSFW is defined as explicit sexual content. Which is to say, the SFW zine will allow heavy themes of violence, gore, etc. but won't be focused on explicit sexual encounters (though ships are allowed), whereas the NSFW zine will be focused on explicit sexual content specifically ❤️ As for art, the SFW zine won't allow full-frontal nudity, but anything goes in the NSFW zine.

Hi! I noticed that the application for authors/poets is just called the poet application. As someone who is just submitting a writers application, did I submit to the correct form?
Hey, a typo on our part! The application is for both authors and poets and the title has been corrected, you submitted the right one ❤️
