so excited for the app results tomorrow! do you have an expected time/timezone for them going out?
Allo! We're excited for the results too! Our mods are still doing a final look over but we're planning to get the results out by Apr 19, 10PM EST (give or take a few hours). 💛
can we ask how many apps you've received? 👀
Hello! 79 artists, 15 writers, and 3 cosplayers applied 💛
Hello! The submission for artists says no nsfw samples, I am wondering if this extends to bloodied/hurt characters? Thank you thank you!!
Hello! Bloodied/hurt characters are okay as long as there's no gore or body horror.
hello! considering the extension for the apps, is there going to be a new results date?
Hello! Yes, we're aiming to release the results on Apr 19th 💛
Is there an age requirement on this zine?
Except for the cosplayers who need to be 18 or older, there won't be an age limit. The moderators will make sure that the project will have a safe and professional environment for everyone. However, if you know you won’t be comfortable working with minors/adults, then we suggest you pass up on this project.
Hi! I would like to know the difference between a page artist and a collab artist
Hello! Collab artists will draw the "cover" art for the writers' fanfics. Spot illustrations are optional. Page artists will draw their own ideas.
Will I be turned down if my portfolio doesn't contain art that is strictly about One Piece?
Absolutely not! While having One Piece samples is preferred, it is not a requirement 💛
I am curious if this Zine focuses mostly on Alabasta and its people or if Baroque Works will play any part in it too.
Hello! The zine will focus on Alabasta as a setting. This means characters who were featured in the Alabasta arc/saga (e.g. Baroque Works agents) are more than welcome to be in the zine, as well as characters you would like to imagine visiting the Alabasta Kingdom. However, we would like to remind the contributors to be mindful of the depictions of the characters, especially the villains like the Baroque Works. Redemption is okay, but showing the villains treating Alabasta like a home or a vacation island during their villainy in a positive light would be in bad taste.
When do you announce guests?
Hello! We've sent the invites to our selected guests but we are still waiting for some of them to reply. Those who already have accepted might share their invites soon 💛
Hello. I know your schedule says Mod Apps are open until Feb 9th, but I've seen some zines accept certain mods before the deadline (let's say you guys receive a really good art mod application and you decide to choose that person before Feb 9th). So I'd like to know if it's ok for me to apply as a mod by the end of January (I'm currently working on my portfolio) or if there's a chance the spot will already be taken by then. (I hope this wasn't confusing)
Hello! We will only select mod applicants when the app closes so no worries about submitting your app by the end of January!
Hi. I'd like to apply as contributor. Supposing I get accepted and the Palestetine conflict is still going on, will I be obligated to share stuff on my profile too? I'm not a zionist, I'm sharing info about the conflict, but only on my personal account, not my anime/fandom one. Will that be a problem?
Hello, we can't and won't force our contributors to share updates and information about the ongoing genocide. But for anyone who can do it, every share matters and is greatly appreciated!
