application guidelines
General:
» Applicants must be at least 15 years old.
» All applicants are required to submit three samples of what they consider to be their best work as well as an additional link to a portfolio. Please note that while Oofuri-centric content is not mandatory for your application, it is preferred.
» Applicants will be asked to list three ships they’d be willing to create content for! Please note that if you’re accepted into the zine, you will be assigned only one pairing, but it may not be your first priority pairing. The reason for this is because we want to showcase as many different pairings as possible, so we hope to have your cooperation regarding this.
» If the samples or portfolio are in Google Drive, please test the links before you submit and make sure they’re viewable. Failing to follow this rule may result in instant disqualification.
» NSFW samples are allowed but we request that we’re forewarned about them. If there’s any possible triggering content, include a note of this as well.
Writers:
» Writing samples should have a maximum of 2500 words each. Excerpts of longer pieces are acceptable.
» One sample should be a completed story within the word count.
» Portfolios can be Ao3 accounts, Google Drive, etc.
» Writers will be judged based on the overall structure of the piece, characterization, grammar, spelling and tone.
Artists/Digital merch artists:
» Art samples should be completed pieces. Traditional art is acceptable as long as it has great image quality.
» At least one sample must include a background. Note that the background doesn't need to be complex, even a flat color may be accepted as a background.
» Portfolios can be Google Drive, a specified Tumblr tag, Carrd, etc.
» Artists will be judged based on general composition, anatomy, use of space and use of color.
faq
What is a zine?
Zine is short for fanzine. It’s a self-published original or fan-based magazine that may include works from only one person or multiple contributors. The most common content found in zines are illustrations, stories, cosplay, among others. Publication format varies and it can be digital, physical or a combination of both. Some zines may also include physical or digital merchandise as an additional bonus. In our case, publication will be digital and for free.
What kind of content will be allowed in the zine and who can participate?
We’re interested in showcasing both fanart and fanfiction as the central content of the zine. The content feature will be safe-for-work and rated PG-13 at most. We're interested mainly in recruiting fanfiction writers and artists, but we're open to other forms of art like photo manipulation, poetry, among others.
What is the zine about?
This is intended to be a multi ship zine, which means it will include different romantic relationships between the characters of the series. We'll accept mlm, wlw and wlm content, but please note that adult/minor relationships and incestuous relationships will not be allowed in the zine.
