Contributor Expectations

Page Artists:
- Artists are allotted one page to depict Yanfei as they wish, artists may request a spread, or up to 4 pages for a comic illustration. Collaborations with writers will take the form of vignettes and spot illustrations, and will be assigned on top of your page artwork based on the preferences specified during the application period. Signatures are allowed on your artwork as long as they do not disrupt the piece. Streaming of pieces is allowed up to the finished stages.
Merch Artists:
- Merchandise will be assigned based on the preferences specified during the application period. All merch artists must adhere to the templates provided, as the templates have instructions on them from the manufacturer themselves.
Writers:
- Writers will be writing one fic of 1 to 2k words, as well as be given one page to write a case file with Yanfei’s scribbles on top! Our Writer Moderator will work alongside you to make sure you stay within the theme and provide an example of a case file within the discord server. Writers will be assigned an artist to collaborate with to create vignettes and spot illustrations for their work.

- Yes! However you will only be accepted into one position in the zine.

Q. What’s the rating of this zine?

Q. Will ships be featured?
- This is a general zine. Ships may be hinted at, but cannot be the focus and should allow room for the relationships to be interpreted otherwise.
