Saw you guys tagging a bunch of people. Are those the selected contributors or it just means that their application forms have been received and noted?
Hi nonny! Those are just people who asked to be notified when applications opened on the interest check 💙
In terms of applying - when applying to multiple roles (Eg. Merch artist AND food/drink contributor), if the applications are successful, would I have to choose between one or the other?
Hey nonny! If accepted to multiple roles, you would not have to choose between them and could participate in all the ones you were accepted for.
That said, being accepted for one role does not guarantee that you will be accepted for others you apply to. In your results email, it will be made clear which role(s) you've been accepted to 🩵
Hi! This is such a cute zine idea, I love it so much! I wanna ask about what is the acceptable scope for the fics? Should they include canon characters/ships only, or are "x reader" fics allowed?
Hey nonny! We won't be including OC/reader/self-insert fics, but non-canon ships are fine as long as they involve canon characters (and at least one of those characters is Sanji). 🩵
hey! i understand this zine is anti-harassment, but for applications to NSFW are there limits/requirements for what is allowed to be submitted in samples or portfolio. For example someone who draws noncon would be allowed in the zine, but would it be allowed as a sample?
Hey nonny! You're allowed to submit anything as a sample as long as it's properly tagged and fits the technical requirements listed in the guidelines 🩵
hi! question for writing applications -- for samples we are submitting that are completed (non-excerpts), are we allowed to put the ao3 link to the fic or does it need to be in gdoc form?
Hello nonny! As long as the fic is complete, an AO3 link is fine 🩵
Hello,
I'm trying to send in an application, but when time I hit the submit it is not sybmitting/sending the application. I've tried it several different times, and it still wont send. Was wondering what I should do to get my application to send...?
Hey nonny!
If it's not letting you submit your application, it's likely that you've missed one of the required questions or boxes. Take a moment to go back and double check that you've filled everything out. If you're still having issues filling out the form after that, please DM us and let us know which application form it is, and we'll see what's going on 🩵
Hi I just checked your applications with the link and the google form still says it’s not open?
Hey nonny! The application forms are all now open 🩵 We just had a small half-hour delay between making the posts and ensuring the forms were all set to accept responses, our mistake!
hi! the zine is said to be p4p and i just wanted to ask if the contributors will get a zine copy (with or without merch) if enough profits are made? hope this doesn't come off as rude, i was just curious!
Hey nonny, it's not rude at all. Our goal is absolutely to get all of our contributors full bundles with complimentary shipping, the cost of which will be included in our production budget 🩵
Just a few quick questions! For those wanting to apply as a food/drink creator, are we allowed only one type of role (like for example, only holding a chef role, instead of being able to have a baker role as well)?
And can you apply to create both food AND drinks? Or are we allowed only one and not the other?
Thank you so much for your time! I am so very excited about the zine!!
Everyone is absolutely allowed to apply for and hold multiple roles! That said, acceptance to one doesn't guarantee acceptance to another, but we encourage everyone to apply to all of the roles they're interested in.
Re: creating food and/or drinks: If you're accepted to both a main zine role (chef/baker/pâtissier) AND a mini zine role (mixologist/barista), then yes, you're allowed (and expected) to create both! If you're accepted to only one of the zines, then you'll be limited to the type of recipes that fall under its categories.
Thank you for your interest in the zine, we're delighted by how excited you are for the project! 🩵
