FAQ
Zine Specifics

A: This is a free, digital-only zine. No physical merchandise will be made, and the complete zine will be available to download/view for free.Q: Is there a minimum age for contributors?
A: Yes, contributors must be 16 or older to apply. If a contributor is found out to be younger, they will be booted from the zine with a pinch hitter taking their place.Q: What's a pinch hitter?
A: Pinch hitter is a person who is ready to step in and become a contributor on a short notice, usually to fill in a now empty position. They need to be flexible and finish their contribution on a possibly shorter time frame.Q: How many contributors will be accepted?
A: We're still figuring this out, stay tuned! There will be art, merch and writing contributors.Q: How will contributors communicate with each other and the mods?
A: Through a Discord server! Accepted contributors will get an invite link.Q: Do I need previous zine experience to apply?
A: Nope! With no physical release and no payments, this is a great opportunity for first time zine contributors.
Work Specifics
Q: Do you accept traditional or 3D art?
A: Yes! For traditional art, make sure you can scan it in high enough quality. For 3D art, still renders will be accepted for the zine proper, while animated/other 3D art might be considered for merch!Q: Is suggestive/NSFW work allowed?
A: Suggestive work is accepted for the portfolio and zine, explicit NSFW work is not. However, as long as you have SFW examples, feel free to apply even if you're primarily an NSFW account!Q: Is AU content allowed?
A: Yes! As long as they are still recognizable, AU versions of the Lamb and Narinder are more than welcome.Q: Can I apply for multiple positions?
A: Yes! Make sure to send separate form responses for each respective position. Please note that applying to multiple positions does not mean you will be doing multiple pieces.Q: Can I do multiple contributions at once (e.g. writer+artist)?
A: Tentative answer is no, but it will depend on the result of the interest check! If we get less interest we might let people fill more than one role if they'd wish.
