We will not be providing feedback on specific applications that don’t get accepted.What rating will this zine be?
The main zine and gen merch box will be safe for work. The potential side zine will be not safe for work.Will the works I create outside of the zine affect my chances of joining?
No. Fictional works will not affect anyone's ability or validity to apply to the zine. Anyone who is known for harassing others over fictional content will not be considered. If Contributors are discovered to partake in harassment over fiction, they will be immediately removed from the project for their own health and wellbeing, and potentially banned from future projects.This includes harassment over top/bottom preferences.

Guidelines
Contributor expectationsContributors are required to join the discord server for the project and participate in every check in. It’s the responsibility of each contributor to communicate with the mod team in the event that they need an extension or need to drop from the project. Failure to meet check in deadlines without proper communication of their needs will result in being removed from the project.
Page artists and writers are encouraged to collaborate on a piece together but it’s not required.
While the goal is to compensate all participants with bundles, this depends entirely on sales made, and is not a guarantee.
