about

As above, this zine will be heavily scrapbook themed with a subtheme of "memories", be it moments that go unforgotten or making memories that will last a lifetime.The main zine will be rated PG/13 or GEN, meaning all content in the main zine will be SFW only. Depending on the interest check results, we may have a NSFW side zine.FAQWill the zine be for profit, charity or both?
This will depend on the results of the interest check.
Will the zine be physical or digital?
The project will have both a physical and digital version of the zine along with a selection of both physical and digital merch.
How will contributors be compensated?
In the event of a successful breakeven, we will compensate all contributors with a full physical bundle and free shipping, plus an even share of any profit we make if the interest check determines we run this partially or completely for profit. If our budget is too small to cover this once preorders end, we may ask you to pay shipping (approx $10-$12) and possibly the manufacturing costs of any merch you want.
Will there be an age limit for contributors?
Yes, we will only consider applications from creators 16 or over. Contributors wanting to create for the NSFW side zine MUST be 18+
Will the zine include Pre and Post timeskip content?
A: This is at the contributors discretion depending on what they want to create but we will be allowing both pre and post timeskip content so assume there will be at least some in the finished zine.
Could I apply as a contributor even if I’ve never been in a zine before?Will ships be allowed?
Since this a Suna-focused zine, we will only be allowing platonic relationships featured. If we run a NSFW side zine, ships will be free real estate!
How much will the zine cost?
We have some estimates based on initial calculations:
Digital Zine $10-$20
Physical Zine - $20-$30
Merch - $25-$80
Merch will very depending on how many additions contributors want to make.
