Hi, I didn’t see the application until 9/5 right before the deadline and I’m just now realizing the samples I submitted are way too long for the requirements! Would it be ok to resubmit the form or submit a new one? Also totally understand if the submission is a one time thing though
Hello! Resubmitting is perfectly acceptable. Please leave us a note you are resubmitting on your second application. Hope this helps!

hi! can the portfolio and sample submissions for writers be their ao3 profile link? or does it need to be a google folder?
Hello! We highly suggest you use a Google folder but if your portfolio and sample submissions meet the requirements (e.g. word count) then submitting links is acceptable. However, if they do not meet the requirements please submit it as a Google folder, especially if you would only like us to read an excerpt from a longer passage.

Hi! As a writer, I'm just curious-- is there a reason you're taking so few writers? We often feel left out in the zine space due to such limited spots and I'd love to see more projects take more of us. Many zines take even upwards of 8-10, but with such a large fandom like HSR, I feel like offering more opportunities to writers would be wonderful.
Hello! Due to the nature of zines we can unfortunately only accept a few writers. We have set our word limit at 3k, meaning each piece can take up to 8-10 pages. With four writers, we are looking at around 32-40 pages of written work in around a 100-page zine book. In contrast, each piece of artwork only takes up around one page of space. We aim to ensure a well-balanced blend of both art and writing within the zine book.
In addition, it's important to note the page-intensive nature of written works impacts our affordability. More writers means a bigger book which directly translates into the cost. In accordance with our interest check and ensure accessibility, we aim to keep our book as affordable as possible.
Through careful deliberation, the mod team decided that four writers is the sweet spot for this project and its goals. With the growth of the HSR fandom and many more zines appearing we're sure that everyone can find a project suitable for them. We thank you for your interest and hope this answers your question.

Hi! Regarding the writers application, is there a minimum/maximum word count for the portfolio? Is it the same as for samples?
Hello! For the portfolio, please keep the word count the same as the samples so a word count of 1.5k- 3k for each sample in your portfolio. Hope this helps!

Hi mods! <3 Hope you all are doing well. I was wondering if depictions of jingren as trans (specifcally FTM with top surgery scars etc) would be allowed AU wise?
Likewise to you anon! And yes! We welcome every sort of AU and we would love to see trans jingren, top surgery scars and all!

Hi, I'm sorry, I'm currently having some trouble to understand the writers' requirements. Is it 2-3 samples + the portfolio (so in total at least 7-8 pieces), or is it 2-3 samples chosen among the portfolio (in total at least 5 pieces)?
Hello! And the portfolio would at minimum need to have 5 pieces, that can be composed of a mix of standalone snippets and finished works! Those 2-3 pieces can come from your portfolio. So you would not have to worry about having 7-8 pieces in your portfolio, just the 5 pieces works!
