Can the zine be shipped out overseas? (outside of USA)

Where will the zine be shipped from?

i just wanted to ask if samples mean old works that are already posted? or do we need to write new sample ideas of what we want to write for the zine

hiya!! samples can be old work, you don't need to produce new content! There will be a section for pitch ideas in the application form if you wish to add ideas for what you will write for the zine :) hope this helps!

are ship fics allowed as samples?

Hiya! Yes, ship fics are allowed as sample pieces! Just a note that the pieces writers create for the zine will be non-ship works, but in the samples it's fine :)

to the head mod, please check your dms. an individual has alerted you to one of your contributor's behavior. to my knowledge you still haven't replied to it.

Thank you for alerting us of the situation at hand. The mod team have discussed and sent a detailed response to the individual from the zine account.

Thank you.

hi, what will be the medium of release?

Hi!! The medium of release will be a physical zine and physical merch to accompany it. There will also be a digital zine option! Hope this helps :)

approximately how many writers will be accepted?

Anonymous Cloud Knight · 1y

hi, i'm a bit confused, the portfolio can contain pieces that are <15k words or is 15k the total amount permitted for all the works in the portfolio?

Can we draw a comic as our zine piece? If so, does there need to be a certain level of finish for it i.e lineart, colour, render, etc. Thank you!

Hiya!! Sorry for the delayed response but yes, you can draw a comic as a zine piece! We will be accepting small numbers of comic related work for the zine. In regards to specs, we'd request that there should be colour and rendering unless you want to do a black and white piece/your lineart can stand alone. However, we understand this is dependent on style so this can be discussed with the mod team upon acceptance! We hope this answers your question!

Do we have to draw all 5 characters? Or will the characters be distributed among the artists? Also do you accept collab pages? Thank you!

Hi! Artists are required to draw at minimum one character from the High-Cloud Quintet. No artist has to draw all five characters, although they can if they wish! As for collaborative pieces, we allow and encourage writer-artist collabs, and two artists may collaborate with each other on a spread.

are NSFW samples allowed in the portfolio?

Hi!! NSFW samples are permitted in the portfolio so long as there is a note letting us know that it will be included! We would ideally like to see at least one SFW piece as well as the zine is going to be SFW. Please note that any work created specifically for the zine must be SFW. Thank you!

are pro-shippers/ship and let ship people not allowed to apply to this zine? i remember from the mod apps that the head mod is an anti :/

hiya! anyone can apply to the zine, people will be assessed purely on talent and reliability. since shipping is a contentious subject for both the zine and generally among participants, we're not going to have explicit ship art/content in the zine. So please apply regardless of your views.

can the samples in the portfolio be in a different language or should it strictly be in english only? :0

Hi! We want all samples to be in English in order to ensure proper proof reading and a universal language for our contributors and consumers. Thank you!
