If we applied for more than one spot, will we get more than one email? (Ie, if we get rejected for page but applied for both page and merch, will there also be a rejection/acceptance for merch?) Or only one email. Thank you!

For applicants who got rejected for all of their selections, whether it be page/merch, merch/musician, they will only receive one letter of rejection. For those that got accepted for one role, but rejected from others, they will receive both the accepted email and the rejected one for the respective roles!

Hey! What charity are you planning on donating proceeds to?

Our charity isn't selected as of yet, we're still conducting research on finding just the right one!

Hey !! I know zines usually don't accept portfolios with nsfw work, but my only portfolio is AO3 and I have maybe a dozen nsfw Works hidden between six hundred completely sfw works. Can I still use it as a portfolio with a proper warning ? 🥺

It should be fine as long as the 3 examples you want to show are sfw! And as your portfolio is quite large, it’s not much of a problem.

What does pinch hitter mean? English isn’t my first language I’m sorry.

Hihi !!! Pinch hitters are people that fill in for our artists in the case that one drops out! Depending on when they'll be brought in, they'll be asked to illustrate a piece with the remainder of the production time to include in our final product! :D

Are the contributors going to be selected by their followers number? Or that is a big part of the selection process?

not at all! contributors will be selected by how well our staff judge their portfolios to be, instead of clout! analyzing art such as color harmonization, anatomy, and more!

Hello! You said that page artist applications will be evaluated on concept variation. Can you elaborate on that? Like would i lose points if my application was all C-side even though they were doing different things?

keeping unique concepts will give you more chances of being selected !!! zines would have a rather difficult time if its applicants would all have the same idea going on, such as a beach party, or cafe! its recommended that you apply this variation throughout both the band choices, and what the bands would be doing, but it's not required !!! it'll just give you more of a chance to be chosen in the end ! ^-^

For the contributor application, will it be done via google forms? And will we have to send a portfolio or can we just show our social media page?

yeah! it will be done through google forms, portfolios are required but there will also be a social media question so we can use your email, or socials to contact you!

I am so sorry but I was waiting to apply to apply to to be a writing mod just in case, would it be possible to send do anything still? I am so sorry

apologies! our writing mod has been selected and solidified due to the end of our moderator applications, though you would definitely be considered for a writer position if you're still interested in contributing!

Is the schedule page still up to date? I won't be able to apply until around august 7th so I wanted to ask!

we DID have mod applications end slightly earlier than expected, but if our schedule changes due to that, or other reasons, it would definitely be updated on our carrd!

are fanon designs/headcanons allowed? liiike if i draw certain character too different from canon is it still valid?

We'd prefer if you keep the designs close to canon as possible! minor headcanons or small detail changes are allowed but the character must remain recognizable :)

for the interest check ... can techncially "faceless" bands (like free association, turquoise october, and octoplush) be submitted as bands you'd like to see? they are my favorites :pray:

'Faceless' bands will not be featured in this volume unfortunately as they go into fan design territory and everyone would have an entirely different intrepretation of their designs, perhaps next time :(
