GENERAL INFO🔥 What is a zine?
In our case, a zine is an unofficial fanmade collection of illustrations, written works, and/or merch. You can read more about zines from both a contributor and supporter’s perspectives from this helpful resource: Zine Baby
🔥 What is the zine title?
To be determined
🔥What kind of content will be present in this zine? What is the theme?
To be determined
🔥Will this zine be digital or physical?
Digital. While we love having printed books and merch, it does require an exponential amount of additional work. We will aim to format the zine to be print ready for anyone would like to print it themselves!
🔥Will there be ships or NSFW?
No, this zine is completely for general audiences.
🔥Are OCs (original characters) allowed?
We’d prefer that artists use official characters from the series, but adding an OC alongside them is perfectly fine as long as they’re not the central focus of the work. More feedback will be given after you’ve pitched your idea as a contributor.
🔥Is this zine for-profit, charity, or free?
This zine is 100% FREE to participate, read, and download!
