• more about the project

1. What is a zine?
A zine is like a book that’s centered around a specific theme, which in this case is Anya. Various artists, writers, and other sorts of creators collaborate to create the content for the pages, and the graphics moderator does background work to gather it all together in an artful way, much like a magazine.

This is a zine that centers around Anya. We’re looking for artists, writers, merch artists, and any kind of alternative type of contributor.
Here you can take a look at what is expected for each category:
⮞ Artists: for contributors who will work on page art, which includes single page and spreads, as well as short comics.
⮞ Writers: for contributors who will work on a piece of writing for the zine.
⮞ Merch Artists: for contributors who will work on creating merch for the zine. Keep in mind that this zine is digital, so they will work on digital and printable merch (more on that later).
⮞ Alternative Contributors: for contributors who don't fall in any of the aforementioned categories. Their work could range from cosplay, to animations, to even music.3. Does the zine have a theme I need to adhere to?
Not necessarily, as long as it’s centered on Anya.4. Is there an age requirement for this zine?
All applicants must be 16 or older.5. How many contributors will this zine have?
This zine aims to take on around 30 artists (guests included), 5 merch artists, 10 writers and 3–4 alternative contributors.6. Will contributors be compensated in some way?
This zine will be free for consumers, as well as 100% digital. Since we will not be dealing with finances in any shape or form, that means no financial compensation.
Our contributors will, however, receive a digital copy of the zine, as well as digital merch.

7. Are we allowed to depict other characters?
Of course! As long as the focus is on Anya, include whoever you’d like.8. Are AUs allowed? Which AUs aren't allowed?
AUs are totally allowed. The type of AUs that are not allowed are anything sexual/NSFW, dead dove, or excessively gorey. Due to the nature of the game, disturbing content is permitted, as long as it doesn’t go too far.9. Is NSFW allowed?
SFW only, please.10. Are we allowed to depict Anya shipping content?
As this is an Anya-centered zine, we do not allow ship content. We hope you understand!11. Are contributors allowed to post their work to their own socials?
Yes, once the zine is completed, contributors will be able to post their work. However, while the project is still ongoing, we ask contributors to not share any WIPs publicly. In addition, when the time comes, contributors will be asked to post a preview/sneak peek to their socials using the template the team will provide.___Credits:
