FAQ

Q: What is a fanzine?A: A “fanzine” is an original, fanmade, non-commercial anthology of original work inspired by a certain theme. Zines are typically produced in batches and only sold/distributed for a short period of time.Q: Where will the profits from this zine go?A: This zine will be for charity, and our current plan is to donate any possible profits to the PCRF.Q: Will this zine contain anime and manga spoilers?A: Yes, this zine will contain spoilers for both the anime and the manga.Q: Will this zine contain romantic ships?A: This zine will be entirely gen and focus on the platonic bonds between teammates and their rivals.Q: How will mods keep in contact with contributors? Is joining the Discord mandatory?A: Upon acceptance, contributors will receive a link to the zine’s Discord server. It is mandatory to join the server, as this is where the mod team will post updates throughout the zine’s creation, production, and fulfillment periods.Q: Can I apply to multiple roles?Yes, you can apply to multiple roles. If you are accepted to the zine, you will only be accepted for one role.Q: Is this a physical zine?We are currently planning for a physical run, but this will depend on our reception during the Interest Check period. If the mod team determines that there is not enough interest to proceed with a physical run of the zine, we will likely proceed as a digital-only, non-profit zine.Q: How will contributors be compensated?A: Contributors are guaranteed a digital copy of the zine. After production and shipping costs, we hope to provide contributors with a full, physical bundle, inclusive of shipping. This will depend heavily on our sales numbers during the preorder period.Q: I don't have very many followers on social media. Do I still have a chance to get in if I apply?A: Yes, absolutely! Follower counts are not taken into consideration during the application process. For more information about our evaluation criteria, please check the application guidelines section of our Info Doc!Q: I have a question not answered here!A: Please leave us a question on our Retrospring, send us an ask on our Tumblr, or send us an email ([email protected])
