Hello! Will it be possible to buy a paper version of the zine? I also read about p4p merch, is there a closed list of people wanting to buy it or is it still possible to enter (unless any extra p4p merch goes in a shop online too, afterwards, for which I'd gladly wait)?
Thank you
So sorry for the delayed reply! At the moment, there are no plans to produce a paper/physical version of the zine. However, if there is continued interest this is definitely something the mods will consider. The P4P merch preorder form is live right now if you are still interested in purchasing a bundle though!
Hi!! When can we expect to receive either the acceptance or rejection emails? Thank you for organizing this zine!
Apologies for the delayed reply! All emails have been sent by now :)
will contributors be able to buy the p4p merch? or the p4p price covers contributor copies?
We would absolutely love to be able to provide contributors with their own p4p merch bundles! However, for this to be done we will need a lot of support for the zine beyond contributors. So, in short, yes contributors will be able to receive their own merch, but whether or not the p4p price covers contributor copies depends on the larger audience. Thanks for the question, we should be able to give a more definitive answer soon!
can i apply for multiple roles? if so, will i only get accepted for one? thanks!
Yes, you can apply for multiple roles! We’ll take a look at contributor numbers and adjust accordingly so there is a possibility to get accepted for multiple roles. Thanks for the question!
For the application, if we want to apply for multiple positions would we send two different forms with two different portfolios or would we send one form and a link to both portfolios?
Whichever is easiest for you! We will accept any type as long as we have access to the portfolios :)
Hi! For writers apps, all the works in the portfolio need to be beefleaf centric or are we allowed to submit other pairings for the mods to review our skills? for example, 1 fic beefleaf centric and 2 from other fandoms? Thanks
Hello! We only ask for one beefleaf (or at least TGCF) centric fic to be included in writers' portfolios. So yes, one beefleaf centric fic and two fics from other fandoms work perfectly!
Will there be a physical zine? 🥺 Thank you for your hardwork! 🤗
Hello! At the moment, our plans only include a digital copy of the zine and p4p physical merch. If there is enough interest in a physical zine, we will certainly consider printing physical copies, though. Thanks!
Hi hi! can I apply for merch artist with my regular illustrations even if I don't have prior experience designing merch?
Yes! No prior merch experience is required. We just ask for a portfolio containing art that showcases your artistic ability. Thanks for the question!
Hello! I was reading the guidelines and I'm not sure if I understood it well, so I wanted to make sure. If I want to apply as an artist or merch artist, do I have to submit my idea for the zine sketched? Thanks
Hi thanks for reaching out! If you are planning to create new art or merch for the zine, you do not need to submit a sketched idea yet. However, we would love to see a portfolio with previous work that showcases your artistic ability for the mod team to get a sense of!
Hi! just a quick suggestion. Sometimes only text posts can get overlooked by people just scrolling by, so using more graphics on your posts may catch the eye of more beefleaf stans! can't wait to see the final result of the zine!
Thanks so much for the feedback! We’ll keep that in mind for the future :)
Hi! I saw your posts about the zine, I just wanted to know more of how it works.
Hello! A zine is a self-made collection of works, in terms of fan zines they include a variety of works such as fics and art. Potential contributors will be able to apply through an application. Feel free to check out our carrd in our bio for more specific information!
how many contributors are you accepting?
We do not have a set number at the moment. Since the original plan is for the zine to be digital, that gives us more room to work with in terms of contributor numbers. As more people answer our interest check and once applications come around, we should have a more definite answer!
is there a chance for the zine to go physical? or just a digital zine is planned?
Hi! As of right now, only a digital zine is planned. If enough people express interest, then we’ll certainly consider making physical copies!
is the zine sfw? or will nsfw content be allowed?
Hi! The zine is sfw, but we do allow suggestive content. You can see the full guidelines here: https://windrisescrashingtides.carrd.co/#apps
