How many artists will you be accepting to the zine?

Hello, thank you for the question! We're looking to accept 21 artists from applications.

Dinner Guest asked 6 months ago

Writer samples have a lower limit of 1.5k. If I have a sample that's more than 1,450 words, and as long as I include other works that meet the word count, would that be acceptable by you?

Hello, thank you for the question! Feel free to submit something with a word count of 1450. Ideally nothing under 1K, though! We've amended the writer guidelines to make this clearer. ✒️ Excited to see you at applications!

Hey, Chef! Just want to say I'm so excited for this zine and I can't wait to support it as a contributor or a buyer!!

Your enthusiasm is much appreciated, good shade! 💚

How many chef applications have you received?

Hello, thank you for your question! We're planning on releasing application numbers after chef apps close, so please keep an eye out!

Is alcohol allowed??

Hello, thank you for the question! We welcome alcohol, both as mixed drinks in our "drinks" section and as an ingredient to be cooked off in recipes for our other sections. 🍾 Let's get this underground party started! 🎉

Uhm, how many writer slots are available excluding guests? Since you mentioned the guests are included in the slots

Hi anon! Thanks for the question. Due to such limited writer slots, we do not plan to invite writer guests, and all five listed slots will be available for general applicants.

Dinner Guest asked 7 months ago

Are guest contributors included in the contributor slots listed in the website?

Yes, contributor slots listed on the Carrd are inclusive of a small number of guests!

Dinner Guest asked 7 months ago

Will all artists have to draw something on a team with a chef, or will they be allowed to create food-themed illustrations of their own ideas?

I an a little concerned about your finance mods capabilities doing their tasks because they seem to be doing a lot of finance/shipping roles and don’t have many or maybe even any(?) completed? I was wondering if they had any support getting the task done as it seems they’re very busy! Thank you!

Dinner Guest asked 8 months ago

Are there any chances that the writer slots will be increased from 5? Even if the word count has to be reduced?

Hello there, thank you for your interest! Unfortunately, due to the inclusion of recipes and financial limits on number of pages, it is unlikely we'll be able to include more writers nor reduce the word count to make room for more (it was wrongly written down as 2 - 2.5K on our Carrd, the word count is actually 1.5 - 2K each). Several of the mods are writers who do zines, so we definitely understand where you're coming from. We're really sorry about this!

Idea for a recipe... Chaos's primordial soup hehe

There is so much soup potential in Hades... Sisyphus' stone soup... Lava—
(—which you can have more than once, in the afterlife!)

How will you be grading writers applications?

Hi there, thank you for your interest! As with artists, application information is currently tentative and will be finalised based on Interest Check results, but we'll be primarily looking at your ability to tell a story within a limited word count and technical writing ability (e.g. flow, thematic consistency, dialogue-to-narration balance). Food-related content will also be a huge bonus!

Thank you for your interest, and we really hope to see you during apps phase!

Dinner Guest asked 8 months ago

is there a specific style you're looking for in terms of the art? you said you'll be judging portfolios on (among other things) lighting, but the style i work in most often is graphic and stylized and uses mostly flats. are you looking for realism in all artist applications?

Dinner Guest asked 8 months ago

Any reason why ao3 isn't acceptable as a portfolio for writer applicants?

Hello there! As we're looking for a curated portfolio, with certain restrictions on word count and number of samples, we'd prefer against submitting AO3 as a portfolio. However, if your AO3 fits our portfolio requirements, or if you have a certain tag in your AO3 that allows for curation, feel free to submit it!

We've removed the line about AO3 in our application guidelines to follow this. Hopefully this helps, and thank you for your interest!
