Between the Lines is a BKDKBK zine about all of the words that neither of our boys have said out loud.

Is there a chance that the standee will be sold during left overs?? I missed my chance and really want one! 🥹😭
Hi there! Yes, if we have extras, they will be available through leftover sales. Unfortunately we can't guarantee the availability and stock numbers until after we have shipped and fulfilled all of our pre-order bundles. If you have your eye on anything else, the best way to ensure getting it would be pre-ordering now!
when will pre orders close?
Pre-orders will close on April 10, 11:59 PM ET!
I love the washi tape and the zine but can't afford the full bundle! Will it be possible to buy individual merch items or not? <3
Hi there and thank you so much for the interest <3! Individual items may be available during leftover sales after we have shipped and fulfilled all of our pre-order bundles. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee the availability and stock numbers of any item so the best way to ensure getting it would be now during pre-orders.
If I order the zine and manage to get picked for the giveaway thing, would I get a refund or would I get two zines?
Hi there! You can get a refund (or store credit) of the prize value if you win a giveaway prize.
Hello, what is the exact amount of contributors the zine has decided on?
Including guests, we have a total of 12 writers, 21 artists, and 4 merch artists.
How many contributor applications did you guys receive?
Hello! We received 50 writer apps, 46 page artist apps, and 28 merch apps.
Hi! How do we know if our app was received properly? I didn't get a confirmation email or anything.
Hello! You should get a copy of your response emailed to you after you submit. Please check your spam box and if you still can't find it, feel free to DM us so we can check for you.
Sorry if this was already asked, but what time and timezone do apps close?
Hello! We will be closing apps at 11:59 PM PST on August 22.
Is it possible to post a sample if the prompt was free to use? As in the start explaining everything then the 90% was yours?
Yes, that's fine!
Can I include a piece that's less than 1.5k words in my writing portfolio? (I'm assuming that the 'no content restriction' doesn't apply to word count)
Yep, there are no word count restrictions for portfolio pieces. Consider a free space for you to share your best work besides the 3-4 samples that you submit for your app. :)
Excuse me, I already submitted the form as a writer but there are some things I would like to change, I could make that change without any problem
Hello! Yes, you should be able to edit your form response through the email confirmation you received after submitting your first app. You'll be able to do that until Apps close on Aug 22nd. If you have any issues, please DM us!
had a quick question: with the extension of apps, how will that affect the acceptance/rejection emails timeline? i applied but i'm going to be without internet access for two weeks just after the new app closing date and i'd hate to miss out on being a part of the zine (if accepted, of course!) because i was too late to accept my spot and i know results can take a few days to put together 🥺
With apps now closing on the 22nd, results will be sent out by the 29th latest. Please DM us and we can discuss!
You said in the contributor guidelines that there’s no major character death in the zine, can I still apply using a major character death piece even though I won’t write one if in accepted
Yes, you can apply with a piece that has major character death. There are no restrictions for application samples as long as you tag properly in your application form.
I want to apply for the non-standard section but I’ve never written a letter only fic. I have a fic that is part standard and has a letter in it, can I use that and still apply for the non-standard section
Yes, that would work as a non-standard sample! So long as the sample features non-standard writing, we will accept it as part of your application.
What kinds of merch will this project have?
Hi there! We'll be sharing more details on specific merch items in the future, but for now, we share details on what kinds of items to expect in our Contributor Guidelines. This includes acrylic charms, washi tape, stickers and others. We're also working on a secret Limited Edition item that will be unveiled closer to the time of pre-orders opening! We're very excited to share details as we confirm them with you all, so stay tuned!
