Q&A

Q: What is a zine?
A: A zine is a compilation of art and writing from many different creators in the form of a magazine-like book, and can be both digital or physical.
Q: Is there any money involved in this zine?
A: This zine is completely non-profit and will be released as a free online pdf! All merch—stickers, wallpapers, emotes, and so on—will be digital.
Q: How many contributors will be accepted?
A: We’re currently looking for 50 page artists, 20 writers, and 15 merch artists!
Q: Will ships be featured?
A: No. Ships are subjective and aren’t the focus of this zine.
Q: Do I need any experience to join?
A: You don’t need prior experience in other collabs to join! We’ll only ask that you provide us an art or writing resume and confirm that you’re at least 15 years old.
Q: What characters can we draw? Can we draw UTAUs like Teto?
A: Unfortunately, no, as this zine has a particular emphasis on the Vocaloid software. Please consult this spread for a list of characters that are allowed.

A: Feel free to contact us on any of our socials, and we'll answer your question as soon as we can!
