Will all applicants receive an email about whether they were accepted or rejected?
Yes! We will send out emails to those who are rejected and accepted.
will you be posting application stats? like how many apps were submitted in each category? 🥺
We won’t be posting our application stats but we can say we received over 100 applicants! Thank you to everyone who applied!
Do you have an ETA on when emails will be sent out today? No rush! Just curious ☺️💖
Hello! We extended our results deadline to be sent out by Feb 12th, after 5 PM CST. We will announce when all acceptance emails have been sent out.
Hey! The original date for results being sent out was 15 days after the original deadline, January 15th (so today). With the new deadline being Jan 30th, are results still expected to be sent 15 days after now? Thanks!
Yes, we have extended our results deadline! We will be sending out all acceptance emails by the 10th! If there are any delays, we will announce an update.
Hi! I see the applications have been extended, would the mod team be allowed to hint if there’s positions that are lacking applications more so than others? It would help some stragglers that are on the fence about applying during this extended time to go for it or not, although I understand if it’s not possible to give us a hint.
Hello! We are still accepting applications for all positions in general! With our applications being open so close to the holidays and start of the new year, we wanted to give extra time to anyone who may not have been able to apply due to time/travel restraints.
Hi, for the artist samples is it fine to put down a onedrive url?
Yes, samples submitted through onedrive are welcome! Please make sure settings are adjusted so we can view and access any files or links.
Hi for the artist apps, are black and white comics allowed to be submitted as samples? Or only full color
Hello! Thank you for your question! Both are allowed as long as they are a completed work!
Hi there, i am working on my application as a writer and it says that pieces between 1.5 and 3K are allowed. Is it okay if one work has 3.1K words?
Thanks in advance!!
Yes, that’s fine!
I really really love your new icon and header! Major kudos to the artist! <3
Thank you! Were very grateful for Fihella’s wonderful art!
Hello! is there a wiggling room for writing applications ? I have a sample that is about 3.1 K words long. Is it okay to submit?
Yes that’s more than fine! Thank you for asking!
Hi, I'm thinking of applying for the sfw portion, but I'm not sure if I have enough pieces for examples. Can I still apply for sfw with nsfw pieces, or only for nsfw?
Yes, you can apply for sfw positions and provide nsfw samples. Please make sure to include any tags needed for samples and indicate what role you would like to be considered for.
Hello! For the application form, are Ao3 links allowed or do we submit Google Drive links? Thanks!!
Both are allowed! We look forward to your submission!
Hi there, I had a quick question about the contributor application, you guys have a beta reader mods so I was under the impression that you guys would take on a couple beta readers for your zine, but it doesn’t look like that’s the case? If so no problem, I was just hoping to apply as a beta reader instead of a writer.
Also I tried emailing you guys this and was told the email address could not be found
We apologize for any confusion but we will be only using our beta reader mods to complete any needed beta reading and editing for the zine. We’re very sorry for any disappointment caused by this. Thank you for your interest and for reaching out to us!
If there are any questions or concerns, you may email us at [email protected].
Hi!! After the contributors apps close when do people know if they got accepted? I couldn't find it in the schedule!
Sorry for the trouble, but app results will be sent out on January 30th, so 15 days after contributor apps close!
Hi! I was wondering if you have already sent out guest invites?
Thank you for your message! We are currently reviewing the results from our Interest Check and will be announcing our findings from our responses soon. Guest invites will be sent out before Contributor Apps open and our Contributor Apps will open December 10th!
