Is it okay to include NSFW pieces in our application even if we don't plan on writing nsfw for the zine itself?

It is fine to include NSFW pieces in your application, even if you have no intent to create an NSFW piece. Please tag any NSFW samples accordingly on the application.

The graphics are gorgeous, wow. I’m so excited for this zine!!

Anonymous Sorcerer · 14d

What are the limits to the NSFW zine add on? (Is there anything off limits for it?)

Vanilla NSFW and any ships are 100% okay. Heavy gore and violence, as well as kinks and tropes are also welcome. Heavier DDDNE content, such as extreme kink, will be subject to moderator discretion, and approved on a case-by-case basis.

Tropes we will not be including in this zine are: Loli/Shota, piss/scat/vomit, and non-con/rape.

for writer apps, does the writing mod have more power in choosing? I'm worried that if I apply with ships the writing mod doesn't like they'll judge my application more unfairly :(

The writing mod does not have more power in voting. Please do not worry about applying with pieces containing ships, all applicants will be judged solely on the quality of their work, regardless of the content/ships it contains. Please rest assured that the personal preferences of mods will not be used to evaluate our applicants.

I already submitted my art but didn't remove the watermark ☠️ what do?

That's alright, no need to do anything! We will judge you solely on the quality of your work without taking your identity into account.

Anonymous Sorcerer · 20d

I understand that you want to judge pieces anonymously, but is it ok if one piece still has the watermark? Editing it out is a bit of a hassle, but I can manage if not

If it is not possible/too difficult to remove a watermark from your piece, it is alright to submit your piece with the watermark. Don't worry too much about it—please submit it how it is!

Wherever possible, we request that you submit versions without your info, but we recognize that this may not be possible in all cases. We will not take the identity of any applicant into consideration for judging.

Anonymous Sorcerer · 22d

Do writers need to submit never posted before works as samples? Or can we submit already posted/shared original pieces?

Already shared/posted pieces are perfectly okay to submit! We simply request that you copy the samples you would like to submit into a separate document without any identifying information, for our blind judging process.

hello! for writer apps, i understand there will be no ships in the main, sfw portion of the zine. are our writing examples allowed to contain ships? and will nsfw excerpts be allowed?

Writing samples are allowed to contain ships and NSFW content. In your application, please tag your samples with any warnings/notices that are are appropriate.

Anonymous Sorcerer · 25d

Can our application samples contain NSFW work?

Samples are allowed to contain NSFW work. For any NSFW/DDNE/Sensitive content, please tag it accordingly in the spaces provided on the application.

How will writers be chosen? In the contributor app, will there be a word count, and if so, what will it be? And will we be able to add snippets of works, or will that reflect badly on an application and full finished works within the word count are better?

Writers will be evaluated and voted on based solely on the samples submitted in their applications. Samples should be between 1k-3k words, and may be excerpts of longer works or full-length fics.

We do not require a fully-finished sample, but at least one complete fic within the word count is recommended if possible. Applications will not be disqualified or disadvantaged if they do not contain completed samples. Above all, we encourage you to submit what you consider the strongest examples of your writing.

Will the fantasy be based on western tropes? Or will it be fantasy tropes from different regions?

Fantasy tropes from any regions are welcome! We hope to feature a variety of different fantasy/folklore AUs, from all regions of the world.

is there a reason you want to collect emails in the interest check form? i would like to be as anonymous as possible plz

In order to send you a copy of your responses, the form requires an email. Please rest assured that we will not be sharing or using these emails in any way except to send you your responses.

Anonymous Sorcerer · 3mo

Will ships be allowed?

The main zine will not feature any ships. Based on the interest check, we may include a digital NSFW add-on that will allow ships!
