if you applied for both NSFW and SFW but only got a SFW email rejection....what about the NSFW portion? is a rejection for one a rejection for both?

Anonymous · 5mo

What email should we be expecting a response from? I have nothing in my inbox but I thought emails were being sent out to all applicants, even if the contents are a rejection.

If you don't mind DMing us with your email we will send you a new email. Everyone should have gotten one. ^^

Hello! How would you prefer we inform that we've made changes to the portfolio after initial submission? For context, the links remain the same but the content inside has been changed.

Hey there anon! You have time to modify your portfolio up until May 24th, but we will be checking your portfolio at the time apps close.
However, so we can make sure our blind document has the correct information, just message our twitter!

I submitted my applications for SFW and NSFW artist, but I'm afraid of messing up something and my application being rejected. I know you're doing blind applications so maybe you can't look at the portfolios if they're correct...? :_)

Hey, anon! Just DM the twitter and we can take care of it. I'm the social media mod and not judging applications, so I'd be happy to make sure everything is in place for you.

Hiya! As the apps have been extended would we be able to modify what we’ve put in our Google drive portfolio?

Anonymous · 7mo

i dunno if i missed it in the carrd or if u already answered this, but im assuming for merch portfolio it's the same as art? 5-10 pieces?

Hi, you're correct that was not addressed in the card! We have made some changes to the guidelines just now to reflect our answer for easier reference. It is the same as the page artist for merch artists as you say!

Hi! Will you be accepting people into multiple roles (NSFW + SFW writers, for example), or will each person only be given one role? Sorry if this has been asked before!

You can be in both the NSFW and the SFW parts. We are not doing both writing and art. I hope that's not too confusing.

What if we already submitted and were using the 3k threshold? Is that going to impact our application?

Anonymous · 7mo

will your team be offering feedback to those who are rejected?

I noticed a discrepancy between the carrd and the app. In the carrd it requests the one-shot sample be under 2k, while in the carrd it says the one-shot sample only needs to be under the 3k maximum. Which one should it be? (And if the former, would an application a few words over be acceptable or must it be exactly 2k and under)

Thanks for pointing that out! I'll fix that right away! It is 2k, and it's not a hard limit if it goes over a little that's fine. ^^

Your one application note says that dead dove tropes are allowed but it also says that gore's not allowed in the application. Will gore, or any macabre themes, be allowed for the nsfw version of the zine? Is any blood allowed?

For things in the zine minimal blood can be allowed, but we are trying not to do anything super heavy.

hi! would an age gap be tolerable if the fic itself is gen? i.e. a fic where one is older, but the relationship is purely presented in a platonic light

Anonymous · 8mo

No, I know the 3 SAMPLES have to be blind, but the separate PORTFOLIO you said we can include ALSO has to be blind?? That would involve reuploading over 100 fics without attribution and wouldn’t even be worth it in that case. Most zines that do blind apps require the samples to have no attribution but allow the portfolio to be attributed in case of a tiebreaker. It’s not feasible to anonymize an entire portfolio, so are you saying you’d rather not see an additional portfolio at all?? I’m just confused.

Anonymous · 8mo

Does the PORTFOLIO have to be anon? Might be difficult because my portfolio is my AO3.

Yes, we are requiring things be anonymous for the blind judging. You can upload snippets to a google drive and share the link to each piece.

Anonymous · 8mo

when you say 'age gap' for your dead dove no-nos, is that 2 years, 5 years, more? is it still considered dead dove if they're adults?

If this is for submitting applications we don't mind as long as they are adults. If this is for the zine pieces, it'll probably be a case by case basis. We aren't fully against it, and most likely it'll be allowed.
