hi! for writer apps, may i submit a sample from an existing fic i have posted on ao3, or do they all have to be original samples?
Hey! Writing samples can all be existing fic, no need to write something just for the application. Only the zine work itself needs to be original and specific to the zine 💛
Hello! I wanted to ask if shipping will be available worldwide?
Hello Nonny!
Shipping will be available worldwide with a few exceptions. For reasons outside of our control, we'll likely be unable to ship to the following regions:
• North Korea
• Iran
• Syria
• Russia
• Crimea Region
This list may change by the time shipping rolls around. When pre-orders open, we'll have an updated list of non-shipping regions on the store website.
For the NSFW Zine: you said you'll allow all Ships - are there any hard NO s concerning dead dove elements? (Incest, underage, eroguro, etc.)
Hello nonny, we have no hard limits on the NSFW zine. We just ask that people avoid ideas that would change the fundamental nature of the JJK verse (soulmate AUs, omegaverse, etc.) or the original premise (i.e. age swaps etc.) 💛
Will the zine and merch be physical?
Yes! The zine and merch will be physical 💛
Hi! I'm thinking of my pitches for applying and was wondering: do you only want pitches for the later parts of the manga, or do you also accept things like 'geto didn't leave' or 'Yuuji didn't swallow the finger' types of divergence.
Thanks in advance!
Hey nonny! Our main focus is on alt endings, but we accept any type of canon-divergent pitches that don't change the fundamental nature of the JJK verse.
For example, we don't allow Soulmate AUs, because they create an inherent difference in the way the universe works, but something like Geto never leaving that's purely driven by different character choices works perfectly!
Thanks for your enthusiasm in the zine! 💛
hi! i just noticed in the zine expectations that artists are expected to draw 2 pages, and i thought that seemed very abnormal? can artists just draw one page? it seems like a very large workload is all!! ty ❤️
Hey nonny!
For artists, we offer these options when applying:
• 2 full illustrations
• 1 full illustration + 2 spot/merch
• 3-4 spot art
• 2 page spread
• comic
For people who don't want to commit to two full illustrations, which we do understand is a large undertaking, we really encourage considering a spot-art role, or a 1 page/1 spot role!
Of course, we know this is still a lot to ask, so we'd just like to explain our reasoning so that people can understand why we'd structure things this way.
Because this project is going to run quite large in scale, we're choosing to double-up on roles in this way in order to keep the production cost of contributor bundles from rising to excess. When there are both SFW and NSFW roles available, it's already quite typical to have many writers doing two pieces rather than one, so we've chosen to focus on creating a few options for artists that, while dividing the work more efficiently, are flexible enough to not be overwhelming.
We really hope this brings a little more clarity to the process and helps it feel less daunting.
Thanks for your interest, nonny!
Hi! Me (an artist) and my mutual (a writer) are both interested in applying to this zine and we were wondering whether there's a possibility we could be put together? Are the writers able to specify the top artists that they wish to work with as well, or is it just based on the artists' choices? thank you so much!!
Hey! We'll have a spot on the application form for you to let us know whether or not you're applying as a pair with a specific author/artist, and if so, whether you'd still be interested in working on the zine if only one of you is accepted 💛 If you're both accepted and both noted on your applications that you were applying as a pair, you'll be partnered on the zine.
hello, I just found this project and I was wondering what experience the mods have? will mod intros be posted later? ty, looking forward to this!
Hey! For the time being, you can view a list of our mods & some of their most recent mod credits on the mod page of our carrd, and later on, we will indeed be posting mod spotlights.
We're delighted to hear you're excited about the project! 💙
