Hi, I hope this isn't too silly but are there vegetarian recipes too?
Hi, that's a great question! 🤠 Yes, we do have some vegetarian recipes: 2 in Breakfast, 2 in Lunch, all the Dessert and Drinks recipes, and a few in our Bonus Donut Add-on!
Hello ! Congrats for your work !
I've missed the preorder period, I see the digital version is still online, but do you plan on selling any extra physical tiers left after the production and delivery time ? Thanks !
Hi, thank you! 🤠 Yes, we do plan to have a leftovers sale. It will be first come first served, and only include whatever stock we have remaining after fulfilling our preorders and contributor copies. We'll advertise the exact dates for the leftover sale on our socials likely around January or early February 2025, so stay tuned! ❤️
Hi, I happened to put an order in and put my email in wrong, is there a way to contact you to be able to give the right email for my order?
Yes! Please email us at [email protected], and include your order number if you know it, or the name it was ordered under if not. ❤️
Is there an estimate on how many recipes are included in the cookbook?
There are exactly 20 recipes in the cookbook! (plus a few extra in our PDF add-on 😉)
Hi!! What are the dimensions of the physical zine and will it be hard or soft-cover? Thanks
Hello! 🤠 The zine is A5 (approximately 5.8" x 8.3"), and will be gloss soft-cover (100 lb paper minimum for the cover, potentially 110 lb).
will those who aren't accepted also be notified by email?
Yes, everyone who applied will receive a response by email. Emails will start going out within the hour, so stay tuned! 💖
when will you be sending results?
Today! Results will be sent by email before the end of the day (GMT-5) 💖
Can you share how many artist apps and writer apps you got respectively? :3
Can do! :3c The total applications per role are as follows:
127 Page Artist
76 Merch Artist
37 Writer
= 240 Total
Will this zine accept KV shipper artists/writers?
We will not be excluding contributors based on what they ship/create outside of the zine. The zine itself will be SFW and general (no ships), and the discord server will also be SFW.
Will contributors be followed?
Yes! Mods and guests are followed currently, and we'll be following our other contributors all at once after posting our contributor lineup.
About the trigun sample that is required in the page artist app - must it be one of the 3 main works presented or does it still count if it's only in the portfolio?
Ideally it should be in the 3 main works presented. We'll consider pieces in the portfolio, but will give most weight to the 3 samples.
On the writers app, what does it mean when it asks what meal we'd rather write for? Is this a holdover from a chefs application form or are writers going to asked to write a fic about different mealtimes etc?
That question is there on purpose! We'll be dividing the zine into 5 sections: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Dessert, Drinks. To help with placing fics in the zine, we may ask for the fics to reference one of these sections, but they will not have to be based entirely around that mealtime specifically. We're asking for this info now to gauge interest in each section, and your answer on the application may not correlate with what you end up pitching should you be accepted.
What charity will the proceeds go to?
Proceeds will go to World Central Kitchen ❤ You can find more info on WCK at its website (https://wck.org/) or in our announcement post here: https://x.com/triguncookbook/status/1764416833896034710
Is it okay if we were to adjust our portfolios after we submitted the form?
Yes, that's okay. If you're making significant changes, shoot us a DM so we don't miss them. Thanks!
Are we allowed to apply as both an artist and a chef?
Yes! ❤ But you can only be accepted for one.
