Frequently Asked QuestionsThis Project has concluded

Q: How will contributors select which characters they would like to create a piece for?A: In the application form, hopeful contributors will be able to select their top 5 choices. We will provide a space/option for people to choose if they'd be willing to create a piece for any additional characters, or if there are specific characters they are not comfortable creating for.

Q: How old do you have to be to participate in the zine?
A: We are asking that moderator candidates be 18+ upon application. We are asking that contributor candidates be 16+ upon application.

Q: What are the specs for pieces?A: Page Artists should be working in A5. Writing pieces will be between 1.5k-2k words with a 100~ word allowance.

Q: Will there be opportunities for poly ships to be featured in the zine?A: While we love poly ships, due to the formatting and selection process for this zine, we will keep the focus for each contributor on one other character paired with Hajime. Other characters can be featured in contributors' pieces, but Hajime and the selected character must be the main focus for Page Artists and Writers.

Q: If I'm selected as a contributor, will I be allowed to submit more than one piece?A: If you select to be a pinch-hitter, yes you may have to submit a second piece. We are also allowing contributors to have more than one position, I.E, both a Page Artist and a Merch Artist.

Q: May I feature adult content in my piece?A: We are asking contributors keep their pieces rated PG13 at maximum. No NSFW content, extreme violence, or gore.

Q: Do I need to have a Twitter/tumblr/Instagram for this project?A: You do not need to create any new social media accounts to be a contributor.
