    ABOUT THE PROJECT

    What is a zine?
    A zine is a fan-created, unofficial publication dedicated to a specific genre typically read by other fans who have similar interests. It can contain short stories and pieces of artwork.    Will there be any ships?
    This is a general zine and will not contain ships of any kind.    Are AUs allowed?
    This project will be canon-compliant, meaning the zine will be canon-based and will not have AUs, but can add events onto canon.    Who can apply?
    We are looking for cover, illustration, comic, and merch artists, along with writers.    Can I still participate if I’m under 18?
    Minors can participate! However, all profit earned will be donated on their behalf.    Can I apply for multiple positions?
    Yes. If you apply as both writer and artist, you will only be accepted for one position. However, if you apply as both artist and merch artist, you may be accepted for both.    Is traditional artwork allowed?
    Yes! Please ensure you are able to provide a 300dpi scanned copy.    Is it okay if my application contains ship related pieces?
    Yes, ships are allowed in your application, but please keep them SFW.    How many contributors will there be for this zine?
    We are looking to accept around 8 writers, 22 artists and 6 merch artists.
    *Note that these numbers are not definitive and may change depending on the applications.    Will contributors receive a free copy of the zine?
    Contributors are guaranteed a free digital copy of the zine! If we are able to, we will provide a physical copy and merch as well. Otherwise, contributors will be able to purchase the physical zine and any merch at production cost.    Additional questions?
    If there’s anything that you are curious about and hasn’t been answered here, send a question to our CuriousCat or send us a DM on Twitter or Tumblr.
