✦ FAQ ✦
Q: What is this zine?
A: This zine takes place in a modern version of Teyvat! Specifically centered around a cafe where some characters will be baristas and others will be customers! Maybe even multiple cafes in different regions of Teyvat such as: Mondstadt, Liyue, and Inazuma!Q: Where will the zine profits go?
A: The zine profits will be split between all participants by percentage! This means you’ll get a certain percentage of the profit based on how much you contribute to the zine!Q: How will the contributor be paid if they are a minor?
A: This is a tricky answer, as Paypal does not allow minors to have accounts. Because of this, anyone under the age of 16 will not be able to receive monetary compensation. For any person who is 16+ at the time of orders being shipped, you can be compensated through a minor-friendly payment app, such as Capitol One. If you are 15, then you will be paid with a full bundle of the zine, and the remainder of your compensation can be donated to the charity of your choice.Q: Will it be a physical or digital copy?
A: The zine will both be digital and physical. The physical zine will also have a "bundle" where there will be extra merchandise!Q: If there is a physical copy, will I have to buy everything, or will there be a zine-only option?
A: You will have the option between a zine-only purchase, a digital copy, and a bundle!Q: Will the artists and mods receive a copy?
A: All contributors will definitely get a physical copy of the zine!Q: What if the artist made the design for a charm or stickers?
A: If the artist made a design for a product they will be guaranteed to receive that product! For example: if you made the design for a charm and also made a full piece for the zine, you will receive both the zine and the charm.Q: What are the guidelines for participating artists?
A: Participating page artists will have 1 page, aside from a 3 spread artists (one piece of art printed across 2 pages). The zine will be sized at A4 and your file will need to be a CYMK to provide the best printing quality. A template will be provided to all participating artists!Q: What are the guidelines for participating writers?
A: Samples shouldn't be above 10k so we can review them. They can be multi-chapter, but under that word limit. They also need to be SFW, as we have minors in the Mod Team. Shipping is allowed, as long as it remains romantic and not NSFW. If some of your samples contain triggering or mature topics, but are pieces that reflect your work and abilities, they are ok, but please make sure that Tags are visible so we can also assign your samples to someone who is ok with those.Q: What platform will we be communicating through?
A: You must have Discord to apply! This is where everyone will be communicating!Q: Do I need zine experience to apply?
