FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
> What is a zine?Zine is short for magazine! It's a compilation of creative works centered on a certain topic. This can include artwork, writing and even merchandise.> How will this zine work?In contrast to the usual zines, this project will work as a collab: having a single final deadline with an optional extension, opposed to the Check-Ins zines usually work with.> Will money be involved in this zine?MEGAMIX, its add-ons and merch will be fully available for free, therefore contributors will not be compensated financially. This means any merch that requires a third party manufacturer for its completion will not be featured (This includes, but its not limited to: keychains, standees, coasters, etc).Keep in mind that printing and selling any of our zines and/or merch goes against our rules. Our project is meant to be enjoyed by everyone.> How many contributors will be accepted?The number of our contributors will merely rely on how many applications we get. Contributors will be met with an answer shortly after we receive their application form— keep in mind we cannot accept everyone as we are not a lot of people behind this project and managing a big group takes a lot of time.You will not be accepted if your social media contains support for AI generated art, anything morally problematic or keep engaging on drama content.> Will a portfolio be needed for applying?It is common for zines to aim to have experienced contributors and hence why they ask for portfolios, however, this project will not rely in portfolios and we will be accepting contributors with all levels of experience!Nonetheless, if you are looking forward being one of our cover artists, we will need your portfolio!> What content am I allowed to draw/write about?This project is focused around the Moon Mission Arc and anything that goes after the America Arc! However, participants will not be limited to this theme and may submit works not related to the arc mentioned.Keep in mind our zine is strictly SFW. MEGAMIX is intended for all audiences and thus any material provided for the zine that falls into NSFW territory (including but not only limited to: nudity, extremely suggestive content, kinks, gore, body horror, and other inapporpriate topics) will be disregarded and your participation in the zine will be terminated.> Are fanon designs/headcannons allowed?Yes! However, we would prefer if you keep the design recognizable.> Are there any requirements?
