FAQs

What is a zine?
A fanzine, or zine for short, is a term used to describe an unofficial, fanmade publication, which can be both digital or physical. Zines often contain a mix of artworks, writing, and merchandise for a specific fandom.
What are the zine's specifications?
The zine will be both physical and digital. Proceeds will be split into profit and charity. For the physical book, the planned specs are as follows:
- A5 size (148 x 210 mm / 5.83 x 8.27 in)
- Perfect bound
- Full colour
- Includes illustrations, prose and poetries.
Will there be guests?
Yes!
Are ships allowed?
Unfortunately, we will not allow romantic ships in the pieces created for this zine. However, depictions of Ayaka's platonic relationships with other characters are allowed.
Are AUs allowed in the zine?
AUs in the zine pieces are allowed as long as they remain PG-13!
How many contributors will you be accepting?
We are looking to accept around 25 page artists, 4 merch artists, 4 prose writers, and 3 poets.
Are minors allowed to apply as a contributor?
Minors above the age of 16 at the point of application are allowed to apply as a contributor.
Can we apply for more than one position?
You can. However, you would only be accepted into one role.
How will the contributors be compensated?
We hope to compensate contributors with at least a full physical bundle if they choose to receive one. However, this will completely depend on whether we can gain enough funds from the zine's sales.
This FAQ page will be updated periodically. Feel free to direct any other questions to this zine's CuriousCat, Email, or Twitter DMs.
