Hey! I was wondering when will the zine be ready to ship?
Hi! We are planning to ship the zines sometime in January/February, depending on how production goes!
What time on the 23rd does the zine close? 11:59 PST? KST? EST?
It closes at 11.59PM KST!
Hi, I want to now if after pre-order time the zine will still be available for buying it?
Hi, the zine will not be available for purchase after the pre-order period ends! We might open up leftover sales but cannot guarantee everything will be available 💜
I haven't got accepted :( still! I will apply to whatever future zine the mods create with MORE knowledge, and I will donate money myself to the charity pretending that was my pay lolol
I wish you the best luck!
thank you for the support! the zine results are definitely not reflective of the quality of your art and how much you bring to the fandom! 🥰
Are you sure you didn't look for specific art styles? It doesn't seem to be the case if you look at the artists who were accepted. I wish you were more transparent about this so I wouldn't have applied because I had no chances of getting in.
hi, we definitely wanted a variety so we weren’t looking for specific styles! zines are a selective process due to the limited spots and it also comes down to preference as well. the application results are not representative of the quality of your work and we definitely don’t want people to be discouraged from applying to projects in the future! if you’ve any concerns, however, feel free to reach out privately to us!
hi! is it possible to get feedback on our applications if we didnt get in? super excited to see everyone's work!
hi, feel free to DM us and the mods will gather portfolio feedback for you!
hello mods!! i was curious what kind of art styles you were looking for in page artist applications :O thank you!
hi! we didn’t have particular art styles in mind but focused on getting a variety! we also reviewed based on anatomy, consistency, etc, according to what was mentioned in our guidelines 🥰
hi, will you for sure send results at 9am kst? just to know if i should keep myself awake until then 👀
yes, we're aiming to get all the emails out then but there may be a delay with the mailing service!
Is it possible for emails to be sent earlier than planned? 👀
hi! the mods are working hard to hopefully send results out by 9am KST 👀
at what time will you send out results in KST?
we hope to send out results at 11pm KST!
how many contributors will you accept in each category?
hi, for now we’re accepting 9 writers and 46 artists!
how many apps did you guys receive for each position?
we'll be revealing that soon!
Hello, for the zine application I used a drawing that still needs to be published… is that okay? Or should I change it?
hi, that is okay as long we can see it! 🥰
Hello! What kind of merch are you thinking of producing for the zine?
hello, we’re thinking of producing a range of merch from art prints to enamel pin! 🥰
Are drawings created from selcas allowed? I think I remember reading drawings made from fansites / professional photographs etc are discouraged!
hi! they are allowed for samples, but we will not allow replicas for zine pieces 🥰
