hullo! if someone applied for 2 positions, would they receive two emails?
Hello! All applicants would only receive one email regardless of how many positions they applied for.
Hey! I was trying to get to the artist application link, but doesn't seem to work and I was wondering if it was just me or it was an issue for everyone
Hello! So sorry to hear that you're having trouble accessing the artist application. A mod has tested the application links in incognito mode and was able to open them. Could you try again?
Hi, I’m trying to submit a writer application and I was wondering how do you submit the samples? Would you like a link to the work? And if it’s an excerpt how do you go about submitting that?
Hello! You can submit links to the work or you can submit a Google doc. Please make sure the links are accessible to the mod team (for example, Google doc sharing permissions are on, etc).
Hi, Your guidelines on your card say that there is a 2K max word limit for writers, but your google form says there is a 2.5K word limit. Which one is correct?
Hello! Zine pieces will have a 2k word count. On the form, we are asking applicants to submit samples no longer than 2.5k words long for us to review. Hope that makes sense!
Is the portfolio no longer optional? It still says so on the carrd but on the app it's mandatory?
Hello! Thank you for pointing that out and we apologize for the confusion caused. The forms have been adjusted to show that a portfolio is now optional.
Is nsfw/dark themes and such okay in the samples for the application?
Yes, but we ask that content warnings are included when submitting a NSFW sample.
Hello! Will you be opening apps for a formatting mod?
Hi there! We were waiting on a response from someone and they got back to us last night. We appreciate your interest, though!
Hi, for suggesting guest artists/writers on the IC, I can only suggest one link! Not sure if we’re only allowed to suggest one guest but I thought I’d mention it since the questions ask for guests plural!
Hi there! You can suggest as many artists and writers as you'd like on the form. For those specific questions, the "enter" key will not work. All you need to do is put a space in between each link and you're good to go! 😊
is this project pro-ship friendly?
Yes, we are pro-ship friendly. However, we ask that ships involving characters who are minors remain platonic to avoid harassment toward our contributors. Thank you!
so, there is no Oc/canon allowed? ,but what about ocs in general ? Like cameos or used in platonic settings?
Hello! Per the FAQ, OCs and xReader will not be allowed. We would like the focus to be on One Piece characters and the relationships that they have with each other, whether they be platonic or romantic, so OC/canon will also not be allowed.
hi, very excited about this project!! will the zine be for-profit, charity, 50/50, or free? (or will this be decided post-IC?)
Hello! We appreciate your excitement! To answer your question, this zine will be free!
