Will results still be sent on the 20th as planned on the schedule? Thank you!
Hello! We're nearly done looking over all the lab results and will have results announced shortly!

the guidelines state that spot artists will be asked to make "an optional pitch describing what type of story [they] would like to collaborate on for the project" in their application… but there's no field asking this in the actual application form?
It seems Dr. Chopper must have made a small mistake! The application for spot artists has been updated accordingly, thank you!

can i apply both for merch and page artist? (obviously i assume that if i get in it will be for only one of these, not both!)
Yes you may! On the application there is a section where you can indicate which roles you applied to and your preference per role. Please note that you will only be accepted for 1 role within the project.

So a bit curious… since Chopper is sorta chibi, will you be considering chibi artists for page illustrations? I don’t think it’s the norm, so had to ask!
Please make sure to submit samples that align with our guidelines — for page art, that means drawing a full-page background that adds to the composition and storytelling of the illustration. You can find an example here: https://tinyurl.com/4vd8tmxv

How many contributors are you looking to accept for the zine?
Our final contributor counts will depend on the results of our Interest Check, but we'll definitely be looking for page artists, writers, merch artists, and spot illustrators... and any other creator types who'd like to apply!

On this site do I have the opportunity to speak directly with my TonyTony Chopper?
Hello! Dr. Chopper is a very busy reindeer so while we won't have the honor of consulting with him directly, we are absolutely going to focus on showing our love and devotion to him ❤️

For digital stuff, what about like animated gifs and all that? Those would be p cute.
The mod team is open to discussing various types of digital merch, thank you for the suggestion!
