I used your carrd countdown because I thought that'd be the most reliable and it's still got almost 3 hours on it but you're closed...
Hi! It's an error in our part. Carrd countdowns can be a bit wonky when it's already past due date. Instead of counting down, they're actually counting forwards so by the time you've checked it it's most likely 3 hours after the due date. We're very sorry for the mixup!

Hello! For page artist contributor applications, would other Hoyoverse fanart be allowed in lieu of Genshin fanart?
Hello! We'll be giving a bit of leeway and samples of Hoyoverse games if you don't have any suitable ones or ones that feature Genshin Impact characters. But for those that do have Genshin Impact samples, please prioritize on giving Genshin Impact samples!

Why is it called Meri Wether if its an Anemo themed Zine? :O sorry im confused and dont mean to sound judgy!!!
The name “meriwether” was chosen as the zine’s title because Meriwether is a Middle English name that means “happy weather.” The zine’s themes center around the Anemo vision’s motifs; which are freedom, whimsical and happy demeanors, a gentle breeze, and sunny blue skies.—That was what we put in the Info Doc, and we're consistently committed to our chosen theme!
Meriwether began as a nickname for someone with a happy disposition who was said to bring the merry weather with them—and we think that it’s a fitting theme for our beloved Anemo boys!

hello..! i just wanted to ask why you want contributors to write a short intro about themselves and answer an optional "why do you want to apply" question. this makes it sound like you're expecting to also receive a cover letter and resume in order to be considered a role in this zine. it's a little questionable because as far as i know, zines are semi-professional, but they aren't (or shouldn't be) professional professional; it's a fun project that people collaborate on because they like the theme/subject. i could also be completely wrong and this just is the direction you want to take it, and in that case i do apologize 🙇 simply curious....!
Hello! We appreciate that you give a lot of thought and read our form thoroughly~ Like other zines, this zine is indeed a fun project! The short intro is meant for all applicants to introduce themselves so that we may get to know you--you are of course free to introduce yourself in a fun way! As for the optional question, it is optional, so you don't have answer it--though, you are free to include the reason you want to apply (we had a contributor joined to feed the community with more Heizou content)!

Hello. Is it possible for an account that posts nsfw to apply contribution? The samples and portofolio are completely sfw
That is indeed possible, as long as the samples and portfolio are completely SFW! If you happen to have any NSFW work in your portfolio, please don't forget to put a content warning or trigger warning for sensitive material. Thank you~

Hello! I wanted to ask if any sort of genre is allowed for writing submissions (sfw, of course). like if all of my samples are only one type of fanfic (ex. shipfics only, reader-inserts only, platonic only, etc) is that okay?
I want to send in my portfolio, but most of my work is in another category as I've yet to upload any fics in the style which the zine will use ><
All sorts of genre are allowed, as long as they're SFW! We don't limit the portfolio to be non-ship, but if you have created a work that fits into our theme we would like to see that as well~ So, if you do have one, be sure to submit that along with your other samples!

Hello, for your writing contributor applications, I read that you require 3 samples of written work that fulfills the guidelines. However, in the form, I see that you've written "Please provide a portfolio containing 3-10 of your best pieces." Do we need more than 3 samples? Because I see that the "Portfolio" form section requires an answer. If we have already provided links for 3 samples in the previous sections, what are you expecting in the "portfolio" section? Will an ao3 link suffice or are you looking for a link to a google drive with the previous 3 samples included together? Apologies if I over-explained, I was just a bit confused. Thanks so much!
Hi! For writer apps, the required samples are 3 written works that fulfill the guidelines! These works are the ones we will look into first. Providing more than 3 best pieces (up to 10) is optional--you can showcase your best works here! As for portfolio, an AO3 link is sufficient. The portfolio is for us to see all the works you've done to better appreciate them. Hope that explains!

Are different gender headcanons allowed? Like for instance I usually headcanon Venti as non-binary and Wanderer as trans. Is that alright?
Hello, yes we allow different gender headcanons! Though, we'll be leaning towards more masc presenting, androgynous, and/or gender neutral headcanons.
