Hello! I just saw the question that don't link twitter post for portfolio, do I have to submit one more time to revise the portfolio? Thank you
Hello! Editing appears to not be available to all applicants for unknown reasons, so yes please do submit again if you used twitter for your portfolio links, if you don't have an editable link in your email!

i assume youre unaware of this but the summer vacation outfits (aka the yuzuru image you used to advertise the zine) play into rlly orientalist stereotypes so they may not be the best ad for your zine
Hello! Thank you for bringing this to our attention, as we were unaware. We have pulled the posts and will use plaintext for our second day countdown, apologies for the oversight!

Hello! It seems like the writer application form link isn't working? The other two works well, but I'd like to apply as a writer and I can't access the form
Hello! The writer form hasn't been edited/altered since we opened and we have been receiving responses through it, so this may be a browser issue. Regardless, he's a link to it without the URL shortener: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Zl4F68CkANrVtZPt5SH2ByxTii6E3-C0uSSXIuQ1QCg !

Hello! Is there a preferred work count for the portfolio or is it entirely up to the submitter on how much they'd like to display?
Hello! It's up to the submitter, but the three samples we ask for in their own separate fields are the ones we will be checking first, and with the understanding that you believe those to be your strongest work, so please select your top three pieces accordingly!

Something I’ve been thinking about, do we need a public account to submit? Do we need to stay public to be eligible? Or are priv accounts fine
Hello! Priv accounts are a-ok, as long as your portfolio is accessible! So please use something like google drive! We can omit social links from your spotlight if you are accepted and wish to keep your socmed private.

Thank you so much for this zine! I was wondering if a writer and an artist are both accepted and know each other, are they allowed to collaborate? Like art to accompany the writing?
Hello! Absolutely. we'd love to facilitate collaborations! You'll have to make sure you specify in your pitches that you intend to collaborate on a piece so we know in advance!

Hello! Guest invites are separate to standard contributor results! Guests are invited to the zine, they don't need to apply, as we reach out to them. Contributor applications are still open, and no results for those have been sent yet!
