Frequently Asked Questions

Will this zine include NSFW?
No, this is an entirely SFW project. We will not allow NSFW, minor/adult, incest, graphic violence, gore, or other inherently adult themes.

Yes, a Discord account is required if you are accepted into the zine. We will share announcements, updates, and general communications in the zine’s server.
Are minors allowed in the zine?
Anyone 16 years or older may apply to the zine.
Can I apply for more than one position?
Yes. However, you can only be accepted for one position.
Will we be able to ask for feedback on applications?
No, we will be unable to offer feedback on applications once they close as we will be dedicating our efforts toward kicking off the creation period of the zine and welcoming in contributors.
Are AUs allowed?
Yes, AUs are allowed!
How do check-ins work?
Check-ins are periods throughout the creation period where your pieces will be submitted to the Mods to showcase progress. Details of what is expected for each check-in will be detailed in the designated channels in our Discord server. The dates for each check-in are provided on our schedule!
Will extensions be allowed?
Definitely! We will announce reminders one week in advance prior to every due date. Should you require an extension, simply ask for one in the designated channels or message a Mod directly.
What happens if I miss a deadline?
We ask that you keep track of deadlines and let us know as soon as you can if you think you may miss one. We will be very firm on the final submission dates as this will make zine assembly much easier for release. If you feel that you will not be able to meet a deadline, please ask for an extension sooner than later!
Failure to respond to announcements and reminders regarding deadlines, inform a mod of your absence, or show us progress of your work by the second check-in will result in removal from the project. Remember, this only applies if you fail to communicate your absence(s). If you inform us of any delays in advance and manage to show us progress of your work, you will not be removed from the project. We understand that life and health come first.Please feel free to send any other questions to our Tumblr or Twitter or CuriousCat!
