Has any formatting begun for this project? Given some of the long delays on other recent projects caused by extended formatting periods I would like to ensure this project is underway and ready to order their zines ASAP before I buy anything.
The team understands your concerns and wishes to elevate them to the best of our abilities! Our formatting mod has been working diligently on formatting since our creation period started, has been speaking directly with contributors as WIPs are submitted, and shared progress files with the team throughout the process. We are happy to report that our zine is now 85% completed in formatting and expect to present the completed 1st draft to the server shortly after preorders wrap up!
If all goes well and there are little to no revisions needed, we will be able to place an order for our zine proof shortly after the draft is approved and our bulk order quickly so long as the proof passes our inspections!

What kind of paper will the zine pages be made of? If we use copic markers would it bleed through?
Our zine will be printed on a slightly thicker paper stock, similar to what is standard for coloring books, but would still recommend doing small tests in some of the blank extra coloring pages our zine will possess with any coloring tools you plan to use!

Hi! I was wondering if the zine would accept pieces based off the live action too, or if it will just be off the anime/manga. I'm still interested regardless! Admittedly am a newer fan that got in thru the LA and just started the anime 😅
We are open to all official One Piece content from the anime to manga to video games to the live-action and everything in between!
We would give a gentle warning that our zine may not be spoiler-free and may contain content from the more recent manga chapters depending on accepted pitches!

Im sorry but im not sure what a spot artist does/is, could you explain pls ><
Of course! A spot artist is a contributor that will work alongside writers, and our zine formatter, to create illustrations to accompany their pieces of fiction. These are illustrations can range from half a page to items mentioned in the piece to Chibis of characters!
We have more information about the role of a spot artist, and all contributors, in our contributor guideline form!

Im very interested in applying but my main account is primarily nsfw, would it be preffered for me to apply from a less used sfw username?
We recommend making an online portfolio, a Google Drive for example, that may include both SFW and NSFW pieces. We do ask that NSFW pieces are in their own folder in the portfolio and are marked with appropriate content warnings (nudity, blood, violence, etc )!
You are also free to list your NSFW socials are you main social and simply ask for a content warning list for that account as well!

Would it be okay to submit two links per submitted drawing, one colored and one just line work (so you guys can see our overall skill set as well as line art)?
In our applications, you will have the option to showcase the top 3 pieces you think best reflect your artistic ability! We do suggest at least 1 of those highlighted pieces be line work or a black & white piece.
You will also have the ability, in a separate question, to link an expanded portfolio with more works!

What kind of charities is it possible this zine is thinking to donate to? I want to apply but I’m very picky about these things 😭
The team will do our best to vet the suggestions from the Interest Check and will then created a shortlist of charities we shall then present to all accepted contributors. All contributors will be able to vote on our potential charity and will help have the final say in where funds remaining after production shall be donated!

What sort of pieces are you looking for from writers in the zine itself?
For writers, we are open to a range of pieces! Fictions, letters, coloring activities such as crosswords or word searches, and other ideas would help bring color to our project!

what will the physical merch be like? just colouring pages, or...? it's hard to imagine what charms or pins etc would be like for a zine with this theme
Based on our interest check feedback, the team will be exploring a wide range of merch from coloring pages to prints to charms to enamel pins and more! For certain merch items, we will ask contributors to create black-and-white designs while for others we will allow color. We want to ensure that our supporters and our contributors all have an equal role in painting this world in a CRAZY RAINBOW!

Will this be solely in universe/canon compliant or possibly feature AUs as well?
After accepted contributors join the server they will be asked to pitch, or in other terms provide 2-3 concept ideas, of what their pieces may be. There is a chance that AU creations will appear in the project based on proposed and accepted pitches!

Will this zine accept contributors who haven't worked on a zine before? Would love to apply but am pretty new to the zine scene.
