For writers - you specify samples need to be 1-2k - do you want the portfolio pieces to be in that range, too? Or can they be shorter or longer? (And how many pieces would you like in the portfolio? Can the samples be included?)

Portfolio pieces can be any length, though you should note that we will not give portfolios the same weight as your three samples while voting, so longer pieces may not receive the same level of attention from the mods.

As it is optional, your portfolio can include any number of pieces, though of course if you have a large number, we will not be able to read all of them. We ask that, if your samples are included in your portfolio, they are marked as also being samples somehow.

[kaedewlwzine]

How many of each position are you planning on taking? Or is that something you plan to share with IC results?

In addition to our guests, we will be accepting (approximately) 4 writers, 20 page artists, 1 cover artist, and 4 merch artists! Depending on the nature of their work, some of these positions may be filled by those in the "other" category - for example, a cosplayer might take up one of the page artist positions.

[kaedewlwzine]

Welcome to our zine @ministarfruit! Bringing a long history of Danganronpa WLW ship content to bear, Mini will be taking her place in our zine as a page artist with magnificent talent.

What should we put in the application form if we have no preferences Kaede ships? Can we just say N/A or list 1 ship if we only have one favorite?

Please write out that you have no preference! If you have fewer you're interested in than the allotted slots, that's fine, so long as you also mark that you're open to doing ships that you did not list. Please do not only list one or two ships and then mark that you are unwilling to do other ships.
