FAQ
What is a zine?
Zines (pronounced like the third syllable in "magazine") are a tradition of collecting artwork, prose, and/or other mediums together into a combined booklet centered around a theme. Fanzines, zines centered around existing media, are a tradition dating all the way back to the late 1960s with fans of Star Trek. They often include a combination of fanart and fanfiction, but can also include other forms of fan content such as cosplay photos, in-universe written works, poetry, and more!
What will be in this zine?
This zine will feature fanart and fanfiction of Deku and Bakugou in a yuri/wlw relationship. We welcome all designs and headcanons for the characters gender-swapped, so long as they identify as female. The main zine will be SFW and may feature post-canon conent. All pieces will either be set in the canon universe or one of Horikoshi's AU's (fantasy, winter, etc). This is not a "fixed" zine to either bkdk or dkbk.We are considering an NSFW digital side zine based on the results of our interest check. If we do add this, all characters depicted in the side zine must be over the age of 18.
How do I join?
We will hold contributor applications in April/May, during which you are invited to apply as an artist, writer, or merch artist! Social media following size and content made outside the zine will not affect your chances of acceptance and we encourage those both new and old to zines to apply. We ask that all applicants be over the age of 18 at the time of application.The application will ask for three sample pieces of your best work and a portfolio of additional work. A piece of gender-swapped Deku or Bakugou is not required, but is encouraged if possible!
Are works restricted to a certain design?
Not at all! We welcome all designs for Deku and Bakugou so long as they identify as female. We hope to see lots of different interpretations! This also means that other characters that appear may be gender-swapped or not--it is up to the contributor.
Where will the money go?
This zine will be for charity, so all profit not used for production or compensating contributors with full bundles (if possible) will be donated to a reputable charity supporting women. The charity will be voted upon by the contributor team.
