Sweet Dreams as a mixed media, interactive Yume Nikki fanzine. We're looking for artists, writers, musicians, and other mixed media artists!
Affiliated with Usagi & Neko Zines

I'm just curious, but what kind of alternative media do you have in mind for this project? (besides music)
We'd also be interested in 3D projects such as sculpting (digital too!), embroidery, animations, and maybe even playable minigames or character creators! Those were the main ones suggested in our interest check, but we'd be willing to accept other ideas.
For submitting portfolios, is sharing a slideshow pdf of work acceptable?
I’m new to applying to zines, and was wondering if the evaluation of the art portfolio is based on anything specific? (skill, etc.)
It's based on skill, but we're also looking for a variety of styles and ideas!
How long are the applications going to be open for?
Applications are open until June 10!
Are artists allowed to be both full page illustrators and comic artist (as an example) ?
Yes! Just specify in your application that you wish to create both.
Hello, are we allowed, as full page illustators, to make multiple illustrations ? How many pages max ?
Yes, you would be able to! We would like to limit it to two contributions for each person, especially for the main zine, so two page illustrations! Other more flexible positions can be decided on a case-by-case basis.
Regarding music, is it alright if they're entirely original compositions as long as you can tell if they're inspired by Yume Nikki?
Yes! We're looking for original compositions that take inspiration from, use a similar style to, or fit to vibe of Yume Nikki!
