F.A.Q.
What is the theme of this zine?
This zine will be a canon-compliant, general themed zine! We will not be focusing on any sub-theme or specific arc. Essentially, we’d like to celebrate the world, characters,
and story of Jujutsu Kaisen within the parameters of canon.
Will the zine be SFW or NSFW?
The zine will be SFW.
Will there be ships?
No, this zine will not feature any ships.
Is this zine physical, digital, or both?
As we have garnered enough interest, we will be making this zine a digital and physical zine.
Where will the zine be shipping from?
We’ll be shipping from the USA.
Are you all considering intern mods? Will you be looking for more mods?
While we appreciated the interest, we have our full mod team assembled and don’t have any plans to take on any further members. Thank you so much for your understanding!
Is this zine for profit or for charity? How will contributors be compensated?
This zine will be split between for-charity and for-profit. Funds will primarily be used to cover costs of shipping and production. We aim to provide contributors with a
physical copy of the zine including merch, if sales permit. Any leftover funds will be split between charity and profit. We are carefully considering our charity
and will provide further information in the near future once we have solidified our decision.
What is the price range?
It is a bit too early to determine price range as it will depend on the type of merch, amount of contributors, and the number of pages for the zine. We will be sure to update
you all in terms of pricing as soon as we are able to do so. However, we will be offering a number of different bundles so that there are various options available to choose from.
Is there a minimum age requirement for this zine?
Anyone 15 years or older is welcomed to participate. However, since part of this zine will be for-profit, any minors that choose to participate in this project should know
upfront that their share will be donated to charity.
Will there be applications for artist/contributors? How will contributors be selected and contacted?
We will hold contributor applications from January 10th to February 10th. Applications will be judged based on the guidelines and criteria provided to applicants through
our guidelines page (found here). After the application period closes and we have finished our review, all applicants will be sent an e-mail with their results (and further
instructions on what to do next if accepted).
Will you be inviting guests?
Yes, we plan to invite a few guests for this zine apart from our contributor applications.
How many contributors will be accepted?
Right now, we're currently looking to have around 7 writers, 25 artists, and 5-6 merch artists. We are also planning to invite around 6-8 guests. Please note that these
numbers are not absolute and may be subject to change.
Can contributors collaborate?
Yes, artists and writers can absolutely collaborate. In fact, it is highly encouraged!
Can I apply for more than one position?
You certainly may, but you may only be picked for one!
Is traditional artwork accepted?
Absolutely! As long as you can scan your art in high quality/300 DPI.
Will contributors be picked based on follower count?
Not at all. We will be selecting contributors solely based on their skills. For writers, we are looking for solid grammar, punctuation and spelling; good characterization;
and well-crafted narratives. For artists, we will evaluate the anatomy and proportions; the use of colors and light; backgrounds; and the overall atmosphere of the piece.
We encourage all creators, big or small, to apply!
Will you be sending out rejection emails?
Absolutely! We believe everyone is entitled to one.
What is the price range?
It is a bit too early to determine price range as it will depend on the type of merch, amount of contributors, and the number of pages for the zine. We will be sure to update
you all in terms of pricing as soon as we are able to do so. However, we will be offering a number of different bundles so that there are various options available to choose from.
