Since contributors are still expected to be 18+, I was wondering if there will still be a NSFW add on?
Hello, since this is a pay what you want zine, there are still finances involved which is why it is 18+ for contributors.
We, however, are not pursuing a NSFW project at this time since we were not sure if we would have the time to create what would essentially be two zines. We apologize for those who were excited for this part of the project, but we had to keep our situation realistic to make sure this zine releases. We hope you can understand.

I'm asking this due to my own shipping preferences... but in the interest form, were there more people interested in GenKlint, BaskerZieks, or GenKlintVille?
And may I request that all 3 ships be tagged separately in Dog Days since fans may have preferences, for example, I love GenKlint only and do not want to see the threesome? So a GKV piece shouldn't be tagged GK, only GKV. If you get what I mean.
Hello! So we actually got a pretty varied assortment of all three ships and are expecting all three to be included. We have spoken and we will try to work with a layout system during production to help those who don't want to see certain ships, but at the least we will have a table of contents with the pages + ships so people are also aware of what's in the project.
May we have an estimate date for the contributor emails?
hi any updates on the zine? wondering if contributor mails have been sent out already thx
When will the app acceptance/rejection letters be sent out?
Is Baskerzieks permitted in the main zine at all? I’m just curious since I think I’ve heard that gen zines will make exceptions for canon relationships.
Since it is impossible to depict Lady Baskerville and avoid her relationship to Klint, but it is also not fair or reasonable to bar that character in a KvZ zine, Klint van Zieks/Baskerville may appear in the main All Dogs Go to Heaven zine. Ultimately though, the main zine’s focus will remain gen.
Are ships allowed on the main zine or will they all be relegated to the minizine? And will the minizine be smut only?
Hello! You got quite a few questions here, so we decided to break it down for you:
1) ADGTH will have a gen focus and not have any explicit ships
1a) Though, keep in mind ships might still be implied depending on viewer interpretation because we can't control how people perceive the pieces.
2) Dog Days is not smut only, it can have things that are explicitly ship/romantic and may not have NSFW on every page.
3) All ships in Dog Days will be labeled in the end.
Hello! I'd like to know which ships are allowed in the zine, please. Thanks in advance!
CW for mentions of incest, SA, and abuse.
Thank you so much for your question! We are expecting Dog Days to have many types of ships and suggestions that we are very excited to see from you lovely creative folk! So, we are allowing any ship, including the classics, poly ships and rarepairs.
With that in mind, minor/adult and incest ships won't be accepted for this project. We want to be considerate for the comfort of the entire zine team (mods and contributors) and our readers as well.
Just so everyone is on the same page, we also will not be featuring any prompts that have sexual violence/abuse involved.
When the zine is published, we will go ahead and put a list of the ships featured so everyone knows what to expect.
If you need more specific clarification, please let us know. Thank you!
Hello! I tried filling the mod application Google doc but I could not find where to put the exemples / portfolio 👉👈.
Hi! I'd love to apply to get some experience in the art world I think this could be a great way to start but I'm a minor (17, turns 18 on December) so I wanted to ask, could I try applying? (Forgive my faulty English)
