Hello!!! Very excited for this project! I was finishing up my application and I applied for both a page artist and merch artist in the same form but once I get to the "would you like to apply to anything else" page, it just loops me back to filling out my merch artist info and I'm not sure if I choose "no I'm done" it might just erase my merch app info? 😭💦💦💦 So sorry for the trouble, I can also pull up another form to apply as a merch artist like that maybe? 🤔💦
Hii! You only have to fill out the section once, then you should choose the option that indicates you're done!
Hello!! So sorry to bother you, I'm interested in applying to your Zine but before I do I just wanted to ask some questions, if you don't mind. 🥺
1. Can our pieces be ship related or do they have to be y/n? I've gone over the FAQ and even through your retrospring and saw nothing related to this - sorry if this is a dumb question! 😭
2. In the writer's application form, would you prefer for our samples to be in Google Documents or links to our AO3 works?? Or would you prefer another platform?
Thank you so much for all the efforts you've put into organizing this zine so far!! Hope all is well and wishing you guys all the best!!! 💗
Hello! We're happy you've taken an interest in applying, we are here to answer any questions you may have!
1. Pieces do not have to be ship related or from the JJK fandom at all! Our mod team is very diverse in fandom and so we can understand most pieces contextually regardless of fandom or ship!
2. Samples can be in any format as long as they fall within our guidelines! Google docs, word documents, and AO3 links are all accepted forms of samples!
Thank you for the well wishes, have a great day!
https://twitter.com/wydjjkzine/status/1726430509289361491 thank you very much i appreciate you all! i'll definitely buy this zine then, this shall be my first jjk zine purchase <3
Yes of course!! We're happy to answer any and all questions, within reason, to clarify our goals to our supporters!
sorry if this is confusing but i'll try to explain to the best of my ability. is there a max limit cap for fanart and fanfic per character? can you kindly please consider it bc i'm afraid that popular characters would have more creations/pages in the zine while less popular characters don't get enough spotlight. the favoritism/biasedness is already an ongoing issue within the jjk fanbase for years and i feel so disheartened and helpless when i think about it. i hope you guys could make this zine a fair opportunity for the characters involved in this zine and let them shine equally as much as possible. maybe allocate fanart and fanfic slots for the characters and once it's full, participants have to select another character
Hii! Thank you so much for asking, we had discussed this as a mod team before contributor applications opened, while there aren't a specific number of slots per character we are doing our best to make sure that each character gets a fair amount of time in the spotlight. From our fanfic, to fanart, and merch we are making sure characters are being spread across all areas equally!
hello! a couple of questions if thats okay :,)
is backgrounds a requirement for the application? i absolutely can do backgrounds, but for my fandom pieces i tend to keep it simple 🤧
can I submit more than 2 works, and is there a limit to how many you would like to see? i’m excited to apply!
Hello!! Within our requirements you must submit at least three pieces and one must have a background. We also have a section where you can submit your portfolio for additional works to be submitted! We hope this helps!
Hi! Do the pieces have to be uploaded to a social media account? I don't upload completed art to my socials frequently. Would google drive be okay?
Nope! No sample media has to be posted, although we expect to see some form of art on any socials just to verify that it is yours.
is there any way to check if we’ve applied for this zine? because i think i applied but now i can’t remember 😭
Unfortunately, our form has been buggy about sending all applicants their recorded responses, however if you want to dm us on our Twitter or send us another ask with your email/Twitter user we can check for you!
Will there be dark content included in the zine?
If contributors choose to create, dark content it will be allowed! Our Mod team is very passionate about the freedom of creativity and anti-censorship, however each piece will be tagged appropriately in the table of contents, along with the page number, so no one is trigger unnecessarily.
Hello! Just a quick question about the word count for writers! Is it okay if one of the samples is a bit over the max word count? (For ex. 4.5k words?) 👉🏻👈🏻
Yep!! We give a max and min as a set of guidelines, however it's acceptable of the submission goes a bit over!
Hello! May I ask if the zine is for profit or for charity?
This zine is for-profit!
when the application asks the links to the zines we took part in, what link(s) is it asking for? the twitter page of the zine or the link to the digital zine?
Just the twitter page!
Hi I was wondering about the app. I was a little confused about what we can use on the app. Can we link our fics from AO3? Or do we need to link a gdoc file? Thanks!
Any piece that fits the guidelines can be submitted! A google doc, word doc, or AO3 link!
Hi! Do the pieces that we submit in our application have to be on theme with the zine, or are general SFW pieces fine as well? Thanks in advance!
Hii!! Application pieces aren't required to be NSFW at all, SFW pieces are welcomed and encouraged as well!
Hey! I'm a big fan of JJK but not very active (like, at all ^^") in the fandom. Is it a problem if I show you works from other fandoms for my application?
Hi!! Thank you for asking, we're accepting applications from any fandom. We're evaluating style and the bases of art & writing over which characters they are!
