Is there a minimum of characters per page?

No! There is no minimum or maximum amount of characters you can draw. You could draw all of 1A if you wished! 🤎 We only ask for pieces that are size B5 and have a background.

Hi! I was wondering if you had a moodboard or a visual… something… to get a feel for the aesthetic you’re going for. Thank you!

Oh we've been waiting for a good time to release this one! This is our moodboard for the zine, elaborated by our Head mod & creative lead, LA. Isn't it gorgeous?

📜 Interest Check results are here! 📜

Thank you all for your participation in the IC! Your turnout exceeded our expectations and we couldn't be more excited to get this project started 🤎. We've summarised the results in a single slide above, but let's do a question-by-question breakdown and see what each answer means for the zine.

We asked you what content rating you guys wanted to see and you guys said: SFW & NSFW! We listened! We're moving forward with both a SFW zine and an NSFW add-on for those who want a little more~

2. When asked about your preferred writing to art distribution, you guys said you wanted equal amounts of both! And who wouldn't want the best of both worlds? We're doing our best to balance out contributor numbers and requirements to make sure you get it~

3. We asked you how long you'd like our literary works to be and you replied: between 2.5k – 5k words. We've done the maths for layout and formatting, and have decided we'll be asking our authors to keep their works within the 2.5k – 4k range! It can get a little tricky when stories take on a life of their own, but we believe in you!

4. You want a physical zine — and we want to deliver. We've decided to have a physical SFW zine and a digital NSFW zine add-on. To make this a reality, the zine will be paid & for profit — with a charity donation stretch goal!

Profits will be split evenly between contributors and mods once sales and production concludes. All contributors will receive a full digital bundle, free of charge, while free physical compensation will depend on sales.

As the for-profit preference was below 50%, we are exploring non-conventional splits which would allow us to still donate to charity while prioritising our contributors first. These details are being finalised and will be revealed during our preorder period!

In terms of charity, this will only be available once we reach a certain stretch goal. The charity will be determined through a contributor vote.

5. You'll be seeing lots of Alternate Universes in this project! The response was almost unanimous. As for shipping — We've decided to open the zine to shipping as a possibility but not a requirement! Our only limit? A maximum of 2 works per ship.

6. And last but not least, here are the characters you're looking forward to the most! Of course, Class 1A tops the list. Followed by Bakugou Katsuki, Shinsou Hitoshi, Aizawa Shouta, and (because it wouldn't be a Dark Academia zine without them) the UA High Professors 🤎

[vellichorbnhazine]

does the portfolio have to be only 5 pieces or do you accept a full portfolio?

Hi! A larger portfolio is okay however we strongly encourage you to put your best/favourite 5 pieces at the beginning of your portfolio. Depending on the volume of applications or the number of pieces in your portfolio, we might not be able to look at all your pieces individually, so put your best foot forward!

#questions

[vellichorbnhazine]

In your guide you say that ships will be allowed if they’re not “problematic.” What are you considering as problematic? And will creators who create problematic content on their own time be disqualified?

Hi! No one will be disqualified for the content they create on their own time. Our mod team is very open-minded, and our philosophy is that the type of content you create outside the zine is not our concern so long as the content you create for the zine adheres to our guidelines.

As for problematic shipping… Per our Interest Check results, which didn’t show enough interest in a dead dove segment, we’re drawing the line at conventionally ‘dead dove’ ships. This includes ships between adults and minors, ships within family members, ships that involve dubiously consensual dynamics, etc. If you want to ask about a specific ship or dynamic, feel free to drop us a DM!

#questions

[vellichorbnhazine]

Hi! Your FAQ says that you're a split profit/charity zine, but you say "Proceeds collected up until a certain stretch goal will be put towards compensating contributors." so this means that the split won't be 50/50? Cause "Further profits made by the zine will be put towards a charity donation" seems to me that if the zine ends up selling more than expected, then the split could be like 40/60. I'm asking just out of curiosity cause of the way it was worded.

Hello! Thank you for your question. Our interest check results indicated most would be interested in a for-profit project, thus, profits will be split evenly between contributors and mods once sales and production concludes. All contributors will receive a full digital bundle, free of charge, while free physical compensation will depend on sales.

As the for-profit preference was below 50%, we are exploring non-conventional splits which would allow us to still donate to charity while prioritising our contributors first. These details are being finalised and will be revealed during our preorder period!

In terms of charity, this will only be available once we reach a certain stretch goal.

Thank you for the feedback as well; we’ll rephrase our FAQ to better express the dynamic!

#questions

[vellichorbnhazine]

For the contributor application, is it preferable for the writers to submit works related to the zine’s theme, or would it be wiser to submit what we think are the best examples of our work overall?

Hello! What a great question. At least one of your samples should be BNHA-based, but other than that, please send us your best work! Whether it's dark academia inspired or not.

#questions

[vellichorbnhazine]

Will guests be announced during applications?

Yes! So grab a cup of coffee while you wait and stay tuned ! ☕🤎

#questions

[vellichorbnhazine]

If we are a writer, who's first language isn't English and who's grammar isn't the best, can we still apply even without having works that are beta read?

Of course you can apply! Our mod team is prepared to help support all our authors through the editing process before publishing 🤎

#questions

[vellichorbnhazine]

If I want to apply only for the spot artist position, am I still required to include piece with a full/illustrated background as a sample?

Hello! We’d like to look at all artists on an even playing field so ideally yes, full/illustrated backgrounds would be appreciated. But honestly, just show us what you consider your best! 🤎

#questions

[vellichorbnhazine]

Will you also invite smaller accounts or just popular artist as guests?

Thank you for your question! Guests are selected from the suggestions left on the interest check form and then reviewed by mods. As our guests will help us promote the zine and gain a following, follower count is something that is taken into consideration for guest selection. However, when it comes to applications, we do not consider follower count!

#questions

[vellichorbnhazine]

Will this zine have guests/when are invites being sent?

Hello! 🤎 Yes, we’re inviting guests for both the SFW and NSFW portions of this zine. We’ve received more than 100 guest suggestions so it’s taken us a little while to get through them, but we’re aiming to get invites sent out in batches starting Feb 10th!
