FAQ

What is a zine?
A zine is a collection of artistic works (mostly written/drawn) all centered around a theme. This zine is specifically a fanzine, which means it is made by fans and for fans who all follow the theme of the zine. It’s comparable to a book or magazine!
What is the zine’s theme?
This zine focuses on the Netflix Show/Books The Witcher. (General theme)
Will ships be allowed in this zine?
Yes, they will be allowed - but keep in mind that this is a SFW Zine.
Is NSFW allowed in the zine?
No. This zine is strictly SFW. If the interest is high enough we might do a small side “NSFW” Fanzine
Can I participate if I’m under 18?
Yes, of course! You must be at least 16 - as long as you're 16 (or up) you're good to go! (If we happen to make a side NSFW Zine you’d have to be at least 18 years old for this)
How will contributors be compensated?
Contributors will receive a digital copy of the zine and digital merch regardless of if we break even. Physical Zine and Merch will depend on how the Preorder/Sale time goes.
Are AU’s allowed?
Short and simple answer: Yes!
Is this zine inviting guests? When will guests be invited?
Yes! Guests will probably be invited as soon as we decide on them.
Are you only sending responses to contributors who are accepted?
No. Everyone get's a response, meaning we will be sending out rejection emails alongside acceptance emails on March 03rd.
Can I apply for more than one position?
Of course! It’s very likely that you’ll only be accepted for one position, but go ahead and apply for more if you want!
Will moderators be allowed to contribute?
Yes, they will!
When will I hear back from you guys?
You’ll hear about the status of your application on March 03rd if you’re applying as a contributor. Any delays will be communicated over on our Social Media accounts!
Are you giving feedback?
Depends on the amount of applications we get. You can always DM us (or one of the Mods) though!
Can I reuse a piece that I created earlier?
No. All pieces must be original and created exclusively for this zine.
How long do we have to create our piece(s)?
You’ll have around 4 months from the acceptance deadline, with check-ins every month.
When will I be allowed to post my full piece publicly?
Once the Mods say so (probably once Preorder phase is over)
Can I use my piece in portfolios after I finish it?
Yes. Until you are allowed to post it, however, we ask that you only use it in private portfolios that you are sharing with the moderators of that zine only.
Can I sell my finished piece/use it on personal merchandise?
Yes, of course. You may do so after leftover sales have ended, and at no prior point.
