Can fic be split into chapters as long as it sticks to the word count limit?
Thank you for asking! Chaptered fic will not be allowed in the zine, and the Carrd has been updated to reflect that.

Hello! Can we add images to our fics? I'm thinking specifically ornamental paragraph breaks, rather than an em-dash (—) to indicate a break in the narrative.
Hi there, thank you so much for asking! You can add ornamental paragraph breaks, but depending on how things shake out I can't guarantee that they'll be used in the final version of the zine.

Hi hi. Can 'toxic relationship' also include a toxic relationship between a character and the culture they're in, rather than specific interpersonal relationships? E.g. a character is being forced to do something horrific and non-consensual and compromising because That Is How Things Are Done Here. Maybe do something to another character that is also horrible and non-con for both parties, because that is what is expected of them both. A similar sort of feeling to a death match, but not a death match.
Hello, hello! I think those would be very interesting topics to tackle and I'd be happy to include them in the zine.

Hello! I've just read your FAQs, and I don't quite understand what "Please do not indent or leave spaces between paragraphs." means. How do we format to indicate paragraph breaks?
In Google Docs, if you go into 'Line & paragraph spacing', there's an option called 'add space after paragraph'. In Microsoft Word, you can go into 'More Paragraph Options', then into 'Line Spacing' to turn spaces after paragraphs on (if it isn't already!). You won't actually be leaving spaces between paragraphs, but the software will make it look like you are.
If you use a different writing software and it doesn't have that kind of formatting available or you can't find where to change it, that's fine! It's easier on me if it doesn't spaces between paragraphs, but it's not the end of the world if I have to comb through your fic and reformat it a bit.

Hello! I just want to double-check hihi, but is this theme passable? Character A solely seeking out Character B for sex, knowing that B is in love with them and only uses that to get B to submit / allow things?
Hi anon, so sorry for the delay! This theme absolutely fits with the zine. 💜
