Please, let us have a nsfw zine too, there's plenty of good works there too!
there absolutely are!! making the zine, whether sfw-side or nsfw-side, just depends on having enough interest and creators who'd like to join, so spread the word and let us know if you want to be a contributor!

Hi, are only sfw works allowed?
If there's interest in a nsfw zine, it would be a companion to the sfw zine - let us know if that's something you want!

"The form 🌦 Rain or Shine Interest Check 🌦 is no longer accepting responses.
Try contacting the owner of the form if you think that this is a mistake."
When I try to do the interest check this message appears :( it's been just one hour, everything ok? Isn't it possible to do it anymore?
Sorry about that, it wasn't open! The link is active now

is this dead? :( i was so looking forward to it
we're back and so glad you're interested!! we just launched a new interest check to see if we should make a digital or physical zine - let us know what you think!

[interest check question] is this ph based or us based?
production would be US based, and writers & artists can be based anywhere!

Is this zine ship centered or platonic?
it’s a ship zine, though works can be platonic or not directly romantic 💛

could you specify what an art and writing mods are for?
of course! art and writing mods are the main mod point-of-contact for artist and writer contributors. along with reviewing apps and pitches with the rest of the team, art or writing mods are mostly dedicated to checking in with contributors throughout the creation phase. this involves keeping track of WIP progress, sending any feedback notes that contributors request, and basically making sure everyone has the support they need to finish on time. the art mod will also check artwork formatting while the writing mod will proofread (not fully beta) the finished fics. hopefully this helps, feel free to ask if you have more questions!

hi, are you alone or have several people behind this idea? I can't wait to see the result!!
there’s currently one mod, and the full team will include art and writing mods too! there will potentially be a production mod, depending on responses to the interest check ✨

I love this idea!
thank you, so happy to hear it!

are there going to be mod applications and does it take experience to be one? so excited for this!
there will be mod apps! art and writing mod positions don’t require zine experience, though it’s nice to have

hi!! if we’re interested in applying/joining, is there anything we need to do during the interest check period?
nope, no need to do anything until apps open! the interest check period just tells us what readers want and what kind of zine is logistically/financially feasible, so if you’d like to see a physical zine, sharing the interest check will help us reach that goal 💛

[interest check question] How much of these merch options would be made for the zine? If you roughly know!
if we have enough interest to create a physical zine, we'd likely make about 7-10 physical merch items. prints and stickers would definitely be included. if there's any merch you'd love to see, let us know on the interest check!

[interest check question] Should the contributions be related to weather/going on dates as we understand it?
contributions can be anything canon-ish! there's no need to tie in weather or dates. pieces could range from a tour moment on stage, to hanging out in the recording booth, to an ot8 video game tournament with a plot or visual composition that focuses on minsung. the theme tilts toward fluff, but some angst is welcome, though we're aiming for a comforting vibe (pining and pre-relationship is okay but we aren't looking for breakups). thanks for asking!

hi! i’m really looking forward to this event and think it’s a lovely idea. i think something canon compliant centered is great, we need more of that content tbh. i’m just curious what is the application process/criteria like, if you know?
i'm looking forward to it too :D here's an overview -
the app will ask artists and writers for samples that they feel represent their best work. at least one of your samples should include jisung or minho. the app criteria will depend on whether the zine is open-call or selective, free or paid, and digital or physical (all in the interest check, but ultimately determined by the mods!)
there would be no criteria to join an open-call digital zine. for a paid digital zine, we would probably follow a style rubric and accept everyone whose samples match it. a paid physical zine would be most selective, since we're restricted by page count. a guideline with instructions & criteria, if any, will be published before apps open.
thanks for asking, i hope we'll be seeing your app when it comes time!

i would be interested in participating if there was an au aspect, personally. i don't really do canon compliant but i love this idea. looking forward to the interest check.
that’s good to know! we’ll take these suggestions in mind and put the theme up for vote on the interest check
