Hi! How many artist and writer apps did you get in total? Just curious, thank you
We received 300 applications!

hello!! are all mods reviewing all apps, or is it just the art mod reviewing art apps, and the writer mod reviewing writer apps?
Hello, sorry for the late response (it wasn't showing up in our inbox for some reason!) Not all mods were able to review all applications, but at least 3 mods reviewed each application type! Results will go out later today!

hey! i wanted to add a comment to one of my sample pieces in my application that i forgot to add when i submitted it, is there a way to edit or resubmit it?
Since you just want to add a comment, it would probably be easiest if you message us with the name and/or email you used when you applied and the comment you'd like to add. We'd be happy to add it for you!

hello mods!! my clipboard wasn't working properly so i accidentally copy pasted my portfolio link for all the samples in the application form. i don't see a button that lets me edit my form (unless there is one and i missed it) so is it okay if i resubmit my artist application with the correct links this time? thank you!
Hello! You can either resubmit your application with a note at the end that you're resubmitting to change links or you can message us off anon on any of our social medias or send us an email with replacement links. Whichever you prefer!

hi!! for the portfolio aspect of the writing apps, is just linking to our ao3 enough? or should we also signpost to particular fics that we think are our best examples of work for the zine (especially if we have a lot of fics on our ao3)
Linking to your Ao3 works as a portfolio! From our Info Doc:
"Ao3 pages or other similar sites can be considered your portfolio. [...] For applicants with larger portfolios, the mods cannot guarantee that every submitted sample will be read."
We can guarantee that we'll read the selected samples, but not everything in your portfolio. If you would like to further highlight some of your favorite works, you're welcome to provide a Google Doc with a select number of pieces instead! Linking to an Ao3 instead of creating a specific portfolio will not effect your application in a negative way.

hi! just asking- can works in progress with 2k words or more can be submitted as excerpts (bearing in mind that it needs to stand on its own at under 2k words of course)? thanks!
Yes, that would be fine! Please make sure to edit the section you submit to make sure you're showing us your best work, even if it is a WIP, we'll be evaluating it as if it is a finished piece!

hi! I was just wondering is shipping allowed in this zine or is it platonic only?
Ships will be allowed in this project on a case by case basis during the pitching process!

hiya! this is not a big deal or anything since you have links elsewhere, but I noticed that your links on the carrd to the apps redirect to different pages/docs instead of the actual applications. thought you should know!
Thanks for letting us know! It doesn't look like our carrd originally saved properly, so we've fixed it and updated it. Good catch!

hi! just a question, i have a piece i’m very proud of and want to include in my portfolio, however it’s for another zine i don’t know if i’ve been accepted in yet. should i avoid using this piece as an example, just in case?
We encourage creators of other projects to reach out to their mod teams regarding whether their zine submissions can be used in portfolios prior to the project closing!
All portfolio pieces are private & will not be shared beyond the mod team. You are welcome to DM us if you're not sure!

for writing applications, would it be appriaote to send in a 2.5k fic as an example, or do the three written links have to be exactly under 2k?
For our applications, we ask that each individual sample be under 2,000 words. You are welcome to submit excerpts as long as they can be read as a standalone story, and if you submit an excerpt from a longer piece of work, you can submit the full body in your portfolio. Please keep in mind that mods may not be able to read all the content in your portfolio!

Is the number of followers and/or the experience a criteria for application ?
No, follower count or previous zine experience will not be considered when we evaluate portfolios! Everyone is more than welcome to apply and will be evaluated only on samples and portfolios.

Is traditional art allowed
Yes, traditional art is allowed! We just require traditional art to be submitted as a high resolution picture or scan, and would like to see at least one example of that high res scan in traditional art portfolios.

how will contributors be contacted? through dms, an emailing list, discord, or something else entirely?
Application results will be sent out by email, but after that the majority of our communications will be done on Discord, and mostly in our Discord server. Should a contributor not have access to Discord, we'll be using email to communicate with them!

super excited for this project! will artist pages be strictly for illustration? or would comics be considered/allowed?
Thank you so much for your interest! Artists are allowed to pitch comics!

The 'et cetera' listed among 'offensive content' does not make it clear whether NSFW and so-called 'problematic' artists will be allowed to apply. Please clarify. Thank you.
Offensive content includes slurs, dangerous behavior (doxxing, stalking, harassment, death threats, etc.) or hateful rhetoric (homophobia, transphobia, sexism, xenophobia, etc.) — please follow your best judgement on this. We will only reject someone if other people are being directly harmed by their actions.
