Our schedule for this season will have to be pushed to about 5 days later. Our reply deadline will now be the 28th of April (Monday). Apologies for the inconvenience! We will get back to you all soon.
Update
Sorry for the delay, everyone! Things have been pretty busy for us.
We might have to push the schedule a bit later due to personal scheduling. We will get those emails out to everyone soon!
Applications are now closed!
Thanks for applying, everyone! We'll get through them as soon as possible!
Hello !
I have two questions
- Can our piece have multiple pieces in it ? As a set I mean.
- Also, how do you choose who will draw for what AUs ? I have chosen two of the AUs, but honestly I am down to draw any of the one you chosen for the Summer zine. All that to say, how are the moderators will go about it if someone has chosen multiple AUs or doesn't mind drawing a piece for any.
Thank you really much ^^
Hello!
Your piece can be whatever you'd like, as long as it mostly pertains to the AU you are selected for.
That being said, we try to make it so people get their first choice of AU. Since we're working with about 30 people, we split up each AU, so each one is worked on by 10 people respectively. There are opportunities to switch AUs, as long as it's before the first check-in date.
I hope this answered your questions! Thanks for applying!
Hey, y'all! We're still short in some members, so please reblog our applications post if you can! We wanna get the word around and get as many people on board!
what does a visual manager do exactly?
Ideally for this zine, the visual manager would essentially help with all the visuals regarding the zine! ie. compiling and managing the look of the zine itself, making contributor spotlight cards, etc. That's the least of what's expected, anyway.
Would it be okay to apply if we have blmatsu works in profile or blmatsu in general should not interact in anyway or form even if we abide by the rules for the zine submission and if so would it be possible to put a clearer dni criteria in more visible place since it's hard to tell just by reading faq or profile
Due to the comfort of members, we would not like those who ship BLmatsu participating in the zine. We will be adding a clearer DNI criteria, thank you for your input ^^
NOTICE - Zine Shipping Problems
To anyone who has had problems purchasing the Spring Zine, please contact us! I have noticed that some people have had to put in shipping addresses, when the zine is not physical, it is entirely digital. We have two people on file who apparently need the order shipped to them, so please let us know if you're one of them!

Update
Hello all,
We would like to apologize. After some consideration of everyone's feedback, we have decided to apply the no BL Matsu rule to our zine. As such, one of our contributors has been removed from participating in the zine.
Thank you all for your understanding, and we will do better for our next round.
will ther be a dni criteria list next time? when my friends and i found out about the bl matsu today we all agreed to just donate funds to a palestinian crisis fund instead of buying the zine so we are still supporting the cause
I'm not really sure how to answer this… Like I have said before, we would not like to exclude anyone from creating art as a way to show appreciation for the show, and to support those struggling in Palestine. We are going to be preventing any sort of BL Matsu art getting into the zine, so as to avoid anyone becoming uncomfortable reading it. It is alright if you would not like to support the zine because of this, you are not obligated to.
In short, there will be no DNI criteria, as our zine serves as a project that all fans can contribute to.
If you would still like to donate, you can find the link to the charity in the carrd in our bio.
are u guys allowing BL matsu shippers into the zine ? my friend showed me some of the bl matsu art a contributor has made that they found on twitter by chance
We do allow people who ship BL Matsu, but we assure you that there will be no contributions that display any sort of BL Matsu.
Our focus on the zine is to help out as much as we can, and we would like to include everyone who would like to pitch in. We would not like to exclude anyone from being part of a good cause because of what they ship.
