Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is a zine?
A1: A zine (or in this case, a fanzine) is a collection of creative works, usually revolving around a similar topic. It can include art, photography, writing, and more.Q2: Will this be a free to download project or are you making a physical product to purchase?
A2: This project will be free to download. Contributors will not receive monetary compensation.Q3: Do I need experience in zines to participate?
A3: Past experience is a bonus, but not necessary to be accepted. Applicants will be considered based on their portfolio and the characters/concepts which they are interested in drawing for the project.Q4: How many contributors are you accepting?
A4: At this time we are looking to accept around 20-25 artists and 3-6 writers. These numbers may change after the full moderation team has deliberated.Q5: Are you inviting any guests to this project?
A5: It is a possibility. Guests will be considered based on the results of our interest check.Q6: Will this project be NSFW/18+?
A6: Though contributors are required to be 18+, there will not be explicit sexual content included in the zine. However, due to the nature of Castlevania, the zine will have a mature rating. (Blood, gore, death, violence, etc).Q7: What is the expected amount of work of the page artists? Will those be pages or spreads, how many? <- that is very important for artists to know for better planning and time management.
A7: Page artists will have the option to choose a page or spread for their contribution. The minimum amount of pieces that page artists will be expected to contribute is only one piece, but they may have the option to submit more than one if time allows.Q8: Is it expected of artists to submit only illustrations for the zine or is there going to be a combination of illustration and props for every page/spread?
A8: Artists will also have the option to submit props or 'spot art' to compliment the fics if they would like to, but it is not expected.Q9: What is the team's policy on AI generated images for the zine? (I sincerely hope such "artists" and their "work" will not be accepted, but it is better to make a stance on this early)
A9: We will not be allowing AI generated images into the zine. We are staunchly against AI generated art and will do our best to review all applications thoroughly.Q10: As you're only accepting a handful of writers will writers be expected to write more than one piece in general or just the one?
A10: Writers will only be expected to submit one piece!More questions? Please email us at [email protected]
