♥ Frequently Asked Questions ♥
How old do you have to be to sign up?
Moderators must be 18+ and Contributors must be at least 15.
♥
How much experience is needed?
Finance, Formatting, and Shipping Moderators must have prior experience in their role or something similar. For contributors, prior experience with zines is not required, but we will be looking for an understanding of color, anatomy, and composition for artists, and for writers, we ask for a good understanding of the characters being portrayed first and foremost.
♥
How will contributors be compensated?
All contributors will receive the digital copy of the zine for free, and if we make enough sales will also receive physical copies of the zine, or be able to buy at production cost. Any profits the zine makes after will be donated to the Able Gamers charity, which our contributors have picked out.
♥
How many contributors are there?
We have a grand total of 54 contributors, including 37 Page Artists, 6 Writers, and 12 Merch Artists.
♥
Will characters from different games be allowed?
Yes, however, because this is mainly focused on Danganronpa (and specifically, Chiaki) the limit for each piece will be two characters from a different series (they aren't required though), not including creatures like Pokemon or monsters which do not have a limit.
♥
How many pieces are contributors required to make?
We ask that everyone focus on one main piece first and if there's time you're allowed to work on a second.
♥
Will artists have to copy the artstyles of games?
No, artists do not have to copy the artstyles of the games they picked, however, if they would like to try it can be a fun option.
♥
Are franchise games allowed?
Yes! If the game goes along a TV show or series, it's allowed, HOWEVER, the piece must reference to game exclusive content, like events or game mechanics and whatnot.
♥
Will shipping be allowed?
No, this zine is strictly platonic and we ask all depictions of characters remain that way.

My question wasn't answered!
I'm sorry to hear that! If you have questions, comments, or concerns regarding the zine, please feel free to message any of the zine socials via DMs, comment on a post, or direct your attention to our CuriousCat.
