ꕥ F.A.Q.
Q. What is a zine?
A. A zine is a self-published book that compiles original pieces of art, fanfiction, and sometimes other media! A fanzine specifically features a certain franchise.Q. What is the rating of this zine?
A. This project will be SFW, but do note that there may be some darker themes/topics/imagery such as tragedy and war.Q. How many contributors are you looking for?
A. Inclusive of guests, we will have a total of 25-30 page artists, 4-7 merch artists, and 4-7 writers.Q. Is this zine for-profit or for-charity?
A. This zine will be for-profit.Q. Will this zine contain spoilers?
A. Due to the nature of our theme, this zine is likely to contain some spoilers relating to the Genshin storyline; however, we will not be featuring any leaked content. Any headcannons in this zine that end up being cannon in the future Genshin storyline is purely coincidental.Q. Is there an age requirement for contributors?
A. We ask that all applicants be at least 16 years of age at the time of application. All applicants interested in receiving profit should have access to a Paypal account; otherwise, they may choose to forfeit profit.Q. Will ships be allowed/featured?
A. No, romantic ships will not be featured.Q. Do we have to play Genshin/be knowledgeable about the game to apply?
A. You do not have to play the game, but we ask that all applicants have a basic understanding of the existing abyss lore or be willing to learn.Q. What does the theme "Abyss Traveler" encompass?
A. The theme "Abyss Traveler" means that the main focus of each piece should portray the twin known as the "Abyss Prince/Princess" and leads the Abyss Order. Due to the scarce amount of information we have about the Abyss thus far into Genshin's story, we will be allowing headcannons and cannon-divergent Abyss content.
