Hiiii. So, I'm really really excited for this, both to apply as a contributor and to see everyone else's work! I had a question about writer apps, though--
I've written 40+ stories for AA, most of them Franmaya, but I've got a bit of a narrative fixation and like to just write the same trope over and over again. Will the lack of variety hurt my chances at being picked? I've never submitted multiple works to a zine app before is all.
Okay, thanks so much! Also, your tumblr ask is closed, just a heads up!
Hello anon! So for the application process, it won't hurt your chances at being picked, however we must stress that if you were picked, then during the creation process you would have to pitch two different story ideas that focus on FranMaya-- so different plot, different conflict, different trope or different time period in canon etc--and be comfortable writing for either of those ideas.
The pitching process makes sure that there is a good variety of stories and art with different themes and tropes, so sometimes contributors second pitches are chosen to help meet those zine goals.
Thank you for understanding and the support!
