FAQ

What is a fan zine?
A fan zine is a compliation of works, in this case both written works and illustrations/comics, that are published in a booklet. All the works are based on a certain exisiting series, hence why it is a "fan" zine.

Charity! The organization we will donate to will be decided amongst the chosen contributors at a later date.

Is this project SFW?
Yes! This project will be strictly SFW and ship-free.

Will this zine include spoilers?
Yes, if the creators decide to include spoilers in their work, that is fine.

How many contributors are you planning to include?
Right now, we are considering about 15 artists, 5 merch artists, and 10 writers. This is subject to change.

How will contributors be compensated?
