Will there be any leftovers for sale afterwards?
That's the plan, yes!

Are you guys going to address the whole 9/11 joke thing or
Hi, we recognize that the post you're referring to was inappropriate on our part and was putting our contributors in a bad light because of that and so have removed it. We apologize for any discomfort it may have given to anyone involved in our project and for those who viewed the post expecting better.

hello!! when are preorders beginning? the carrd says July 20th although it's past that time now . thank you!
Hello! Sorry about that, we did some internal shuffling and forgot to update the carrd;;; To accommodate mod schedules, preorders will be happening some time in August or September.
We'll be giving an exact date when we're sure everything will run smoothly. Thank you!

I know all the games are allowed, but are movie changes also fair game? E.g. Ryoji destroying the moonlight bridge as a show of Nyx’s power instead of expositing it all?
The movie series for P3 is fair game for sure absolutely!

Will the flowers be diegetic, like worked into the scene in a way the characters see them? Or will they just be little decorations here and there that the characters don’t see?
How the theme of "flowers" is worked into pieces will be mostly up to the contributors! So both literal and metaphorical flower imagery is possible in both illustrative and written pieces.

I’m just curious, are we allowed to submit poems as well for our writing samples? I don’t write full story pieces often and just would like to know.
We won't ban poetry in an application, but unfortunately poetry won't be featured in this project and as such will have no bearing on portfolio judging if submitted.

What measures are being taken to prevent the mishandling of funds? Sincerely, a buyer of the infamous Showtime Zine.
Hello! The paypal for the zine is accessible by all mods at any time for cross checking. Aside from our finance/shipping mod's public track record, the mods have shared personal information with each other and are within traversable distance. Zines for us are about making something we love and sharing that with a community, so we hope you'll see this through with us! Thank you!

Hi, if I want to apply as a page artist is it a requirement to have both art including P3 characters and illustrations with flowers in my portfolio? Is it okay if other non-Persona art is shown as well? I love Persona but I forget to draw fanart of it often :"D
Hihi, we don't require Persona and nature-related art in portfolios, but it's heavily encouraged to give us a better idea of your abilities and thus give you a better chance of being accepted. Different series and types of art are accepted in portfolios still. Thank you!

Hi, sorry to ask this but what does a spot illustration mean and how is it different from a page illustration? thank you in advance!
Hello! Spot illustrations are more like insertable pieces of art that aren't of full page scale that pair with writing usually. In this case, the spot illustrations can be with or without a paired writing piece. Spot illustrations are often used in illustrated books or children's stories for reference.

Hi. I read it's best if we share something nature themed. Is it ok if I take a photo of a watercolor painting of flowers? As it would best show what I can do with flowers (alongside other illustrations, of P3 per e.g)
The painting is pretty big and can't be can't be scanned though.
That should be fine, yes! Thank you for checking with us first and feel free to refer to this exchange in the application notes c:

Regarding an earlier question asked, will we be picking what months to write for if we're selected? How does the pitch organization go for this project? Thanks!
Hello! Participants will make anywhere from 2 to 5 pitches (2 mandatory, up to 5 maximum) for at least 2 different month sets (ie Apr+May and Aug+Sep) among their pitches. Mods will then select each participant's pitch to continue forward with. If not all time sets are being filled, we will either prompt for participants to try branching out or mods will fill in for smaller needs.
For flower themes as well, the mod team will be compiling a reference sheet for flowers (with ref links) that bloom in each section of months in order to make things easier. The Japanese flower language meanings and any other relevant notes will be included in the sheet as well. Hopefully that'll lessen the need for research, but still give everyone a wide enough selection as to not feel shoehorned!

What is the word count min and max you'd like for writers to submit their samples? I saw 1-2k as a limit to be met but I'm unsure if you want our samples to be around that length or if that's the length pieces will be in the zine. Thanks so much!
Hi! The 1-2k range is relevant to both samples and the zine. Since the zine will vary from 1-2k words per piece, we would like your samples to be of similar length. Thank you!

hello! if an applicant applies for two positions, how do you decide which role they get? is it based on availability, how well they fit the criteria over the other, or both?
also, are we allowed to update our portfolios after we submit an application? thank you!
If an accepted applicant applied for more than one position, we will place them in the position we feel they will fit best, which can be for varying factors including the previously listed. It's case by case, honestly.
You can update your portfolio after applying, BUT we cannot guarantee that updates will be seen/considered. Rolling voting is common in order to reduce time constraints and burden. We suggest to only apply when your portfolio is ready for evaluation. Thank you!

hello! maybe silly question but i'm looking for applying for the writer's position but i haven't actually written any fic yet for p3 (but will provide a sample of other fic i've written) but i rp p3! is that acceptable as an sample provided it's a document of various drabbles pertaining to the character (all solo and doesn't involve writing from another party). thank you in advance!
That should be fine as one document submission within the portfolio as long as it's all your own writing and reads as an applicable literature form for the zine! We do prefer somewhat longer samples (as noted in the app form) since that would be about our word count for the zine.
