QuestionAnswer
What is a Zine?A zine (short for fanzine) is a non-official publication of art, writing, and any other artistic mediums organized into a book and/or digital collection (PDF). Zines are normally collaborations between several different creators.
What is the theme of this zine?This is an Anya Forger centric zine, meaning that all pieces included in the zine should have Anya as the focal point. However, artists and writers are welcome to include other Spy x Family characters (along with Anya) in their work.
Is this zine for profit or for charity?Starlight Anya will be a 100% for profit zine, meaning contributors will be compensated monetarily for their work. All profits will be equality divided between contributors and moderators.
Is this zine physical, digital, or both?Starlight Anya will be both a physical and digital zine.
Will writers be included?Yes, writers will be included.
Will there be merchandise?Yes, there will be physical merchandise. Whether or not digital merch will be included will be decided after the interest check.
Do you have to be an adult to apply as a contributor?The minimum age requirement by the time of applications is 16. However, minors will not be compensated monetarily. They may be compensated with a physical zine bundle if finances permit.
Is this zine SFW (safe for work)?Yes, this zine is strictly SFW.
Are ships allowed?No, ship art will not be included in this zine.
Will contributors receive a copy of the zine?At the very least, all contributors will be provided with a digital copy of the zine. If finances break even, contributors will be compensated physically. This could include a full bundle of the zine if profits permit that.
Does this zine care about what contributors do outside of the zine?We will not be judging applicants on their creative expression outside of what they submit in their application. However, we do ask that all content submitted during applications is SFW.
I do not see my question here? How can I ask you directly?If you have more questions, feel free to contact us on twitter or instagram or ask us an anonymous question through our retrospring.
