FAQ

What is a pinch hitter?
A pinch hitter is someone who is on call as a backup in case a contributor drops out of the zine.
Is there going to be paired fics with accompanying art?
When contributors make their pitches, they will have the option to collaborate with each other! We will also ask artists if they are willing to do small spot arts to accompany fics!
Who are the other mods for this project?
The mods in this project are: Luna, Lucy, and Maki! You can find more of their info here!
How many contributors are you looking for?
We are looking for around 30 artists and 12-15 writers (not including the invited guests). These numbers aren't set in stone and are subject to change!
Is the art going to be familial or ship art?
Familial only - we will allow background ships but no KaeLuc will be allowed in this zine.
I'm new to zines, do I need to show my artworks before joining the zine?
Yes. In the application form, you will be asked to submit 3 pieces of art as previews. You can find the general guidelines here!
WIll you make sure that no KaeLuc artists join the zine? Or is anyone allowed to?
None of the mods in this zine are comfortable with KaeLuc as a ship in general - part of our selection process will be us doing our best to ensure this zine is free of it in any form.
For artists joining, how many pieces are expected?
You will only be required to create one piece for the zine! If you get accepted, we will ask you for three pitches and then the mod team will choose one of your three ideas for you to draw! That goes the same for writers.
Is there any way for an artist to just work collaboratively with others rather than pitching ideas?
If it is just creating spot art for different fics, this is definitely something we can consider. If you want to do this, please add it as a note at the bottom of your application!
What date is the zine pieces going to be due?
The full schedule is here, but the pitches will be due on January 10th!
Can I apply for both writer and artist?
You can, but if you are accepted, it will be for only one of the two roles!
Can I send the documents via Google Docs?
Yes. You can put the google docs link in the preview section in the application form - just make sure link sharing is turned on!
If submitting a portfolio, is that in addition to the three required pieces?
Yes. The portfolio is optional, the three previews are required.
Do I have to draw backgrounds?
If selected, your piece will have to have a background, however it can just be a simple design so don't worry too much about complexities!
