hi, i’m just a little confused! so romance isn’t permitted in the… fantasy genre? sfw romance?? i’m just curious why that wouldn’t be allowed when the trope and genre are usually intertwined… but dead dove is permitted /gen

We do not intend for the main zine to become shipping-focused, which is why we have decided to keep the main SFW zine ship-free. This refers to content that has a ship as the clear, explicit, central focus of the artwork/story. We believe there is plenty to explore within the fantasy genre outside of works focusing on romantic relationships, and we feel this was the best choice to create a zine of general content that can be enjoyed by a wide audience.

Depictions of close, non-romantic relationships are absolutely permitted and encouraged. Romantic themes, background romance, and ambiguous relationships can be discussed with the mod team on an individual basis.

For ship-focused content (SFW or NSFW), there is room to freely explore those ideas in our digital add-on zine.
