@korrasamizine
will you be opening up apps again now that the zine format has changed? digital only zines tend to have a different subset of people interested
We might Anon :) We'll have to see first if there's enough interest to go forward, and if there is, we'll definitely discuss it! <3
~Mod Asagi
So how long are you guys giving people to answer the survey? It doesn’t mention. How much can we expect the schedule to change in light of this?
The schedule change is going to depend heavily on how long it takes us to gather enough interest, we're currently on pause until we know if we're going forward or not, but it hopefully won't change too much! :)
As for how long, we don't have a set limit in mind, we would like to see around 50 answers on the interest check, so we're monitoring it to see how long it might take to get there, we'll close it if it looks like we're not going to meet our goal in the near future
~Mod Asagi
Did you guys ever consider just making the zine non profit? I think for profit zines are questionable tbh (not morally, considering Avatar is owned by a giant corp), but just it doesn’t surprise me that they would get into hot water legally
Sadly we already discussed that and it wouldn't help, the company doesn't care if it's profit or not because their issue isn't about "We don't want you making money off of our brand", they're just concerned about people not choosing fan content over official content :/
~Mod Asagi
I understand if you can’t answer this yet, but why is it that so many physical Avatar zines are going ahead anyway? The cookbook, fire nation recovery, zutara wedding etc.. I heard of the legal issue coming up a few months ago but it seemed like it was plain sailing as long as you didn’t use the name or the images of the show, which you haven’t done at all. I doubt a ship zine would get on their radar if the profits after production just went to charity. It’s really sad that this happened to the only LoK zine around
It's very sad yes Anon :( Believe us, we're utterly heart-broken, and we batted this decision around for quite a bit before making it- none of us wanted it to come to this
I can't speak to the situation of any other zine, and have to be tight on what exactly is said, but your nose is in the right place regarding what our issue is
We actually have had professional consulting to lead to our decision, I can't go into detail about anything that was said at this moment, but believe me, we spoke at length about ways to avoid The Problem and basically everything came down to a game of Russian Roulette... with more bullets getting put in the chamber as time goes on :/
I'm afraid I can't, at this moment, be more clear than that, but please know that we were actually prepared to go forward if things had been less dire than they've become, if it was a normal amount of risk we were still willing to go ahead, but because of some information that came our way through a professional source, we felt that this was the only choice we had
Our source went through a truly exhaustive amount of work for us in the hopes that there may be a loophole or a decent chance of gambling, but things sadly only became more airtight the more she worked
I hate not being able to speak openly Anon :( But I have very sincere hopes that we'll be able to make a public post about exactly why we had to make the decision we did in the coming weeks or months
~Mod Asagi
Announcement
Hello everyone! We'd like to thank you all so much for your applications!!! We're going to have a great time sorting through them, but first, there's an announcement we need to make, thus why we haven't yet answered a few of the questions that have been sent in, as we need to make this announcement first
Due to sudden and unforeseen events, we'll no longer be able to produce a physical zine
What we would like to do is to produce a free digital zine for all of you! But before we can do that, we have to run an INTEREST CHECK to make sure that enough people are interested, so please fill that out HERE
As for why we have to go digital, we want to make it absolutely clear that this is in no way an internal issue, nor is this the fault of any specific person or anything to do with the mods, guests, or applicants to this zine
Unfortunately, we can't elaborate on the reason at this time, outside of the following:
There's a very big issue that's come up in the Avatar fandom that has forced our hand and has impacted several projects outside of our own, this particular issue hasn't directly touched us yet, but as a matter of preventative measure, we've come to the very hard and long-discussed decision to make our zine free to everyone, should it go forward
We want to be as transparent as possible with everyone, however, we've been entrusted with a private matter impacting other people in our community, and for the sake of their safety and privacy, we can't divulge any details at this time- there will almost certainly be a time when we can, but now is not it We want to be clear again that NO ONE on this team is directly involved with the issue, nor is the issue related to any one specific person inside or outside of our team, and that the decision to halt production on a physical zine was not made lightly or easily, we all wanted desperately for this project to be a huge event, and it still can be as a digital product! But going physical is no longer an option at this time
We're sure many of you have questions and we're here to answer them to the best of our ability, we intend to be COMPLETELY transparent regarding the future of our project, the internal workings of the project and of our team, and anything else that relates to us directly, however, please do not ask us about the reason we've had to come to this decision, as we aren't able to answer; when we are able to provide details, please know that we'll make a post IMMEDIATELY to publicize as much of the information as we're then allowed to release, we do not intend for this to be kept private forever, but when and how we're able to share our reasoning is not within our control, and we sincerely hope that everyone understands
We hope that you all will still be willing to join us on our journey as a digital project, and will support our mod team and our contributors on any other endeavors they may engage in!
Thank you for your understanding,
~The Korrasami Zine Mod Team
After looking at mod asagi’s completed zine list… I’m a little concerned about the schedule going forth. I went through some of them and the holiday zine for example hasn’t been finished despite going on since January 2020… it’s a bit worrying… as much as I want to apply to this zine, I cannot let a project go for almost 2 years… is there anything that will be done to prevent this?
Hi there Anon :)
The short answer is no, but the long answer is this-
As you can see from our schedule, we don't plan to have our zine completed until early 2022, that's already a year from our interest check date, and with preorders typically lasting 6-8 weeks and production typically taking around two or three months depending on things like manufacturer build up and international shipping times, plus another two months for shipping... you can see where this is going
I do intentionally run my zines longer than some for the creation period because I've found that contributors are more relaxed and more people are able to join us comfortably if they know that their work isn't expected right away :)
That being said, please remember that zines that were going in 2020- especially early 2020- experienced pandemic related delays that are not necessarily average, I politely ask everyone on the behalf of all mods who ran projects during this time to be understanding that zines during this time experienced things like factory shut downs, shipping that took absolute AGES for products to arrive as well as for products going out, and in some cases contributors who had complications related to the pandemic and were unable to complete their work in the initial time frame, these aren't common to zines, but nothing of 2020 really was
Although with **that** being said, we have a VERY relevant announcement to this issue coming up very soon, so please hold on until then before making a decision, as the announcement is going to be very important for all contributors and potential contributors
Thank you!

ATTENTION BENDERS AND NON-BENDERS- APPLICATIONS ARE OPEN!!!
Applications are now officially OPEN from now until July 15th, so if you’re a writer or artist please fill out one of the apps below to participate in our truly electric zine!!!
A quick reminder of some base points here:
We’re looking for a maximum of 15 writers and 35 artists to fill out our zine!
This is a Korrasami zine, so your work should be focused on Avatar Korra and Asami Sato
This is a SFW zine; we’re rated PG-13. Please check out our guidelines for what exactly that means!
Once contributors have been selected:
Artists will be asked to submit one completed illustration—full color optional. Art must be CYMK. Comics ARE allowed, but if you plan on doing a comic, please keep in mind it’s first-come-first-serve. To keep our page count down, we’ll be accepting only a small number of comics.
Writers will be asked to submit one story with a maximum of 3,500 words (plus a 100-word leeway if needed).
This will hopefully be a split-profit zine, meaning that 50% of post-cost profits will go to charity, and the other 50% will be divided equally among staff and contributors, provided we have enough to do so!
Because the zine is split-profit, we ask that contributors be 18+ to apply, so as not to conflict with Paypal’s guidelines.
To submit your apps, please go here!
Writers
Artists
Cosplayers
For your applications:
Writers will need to submit three fics, one must be Avatar- though doesn’t necessarily have to be Korrasami-, with a minimum word count of 500 and a maximum word count of 3,000 (with a small leeway of about a hundred words).
Artists will need to submit three pieces of fanart, one must be full color, and one must be Avatar
Cosplayers will need to submit three photos of their cosplay, one must be Avatar
We eagerly welcome zine pros, first-time ziners, and anything in-between, so please don’t hesitate to apply!

I see the list of zine that’s Mod Asagi has going. It’s a bit concerning that the “competed” ones don’t have a donation done yet. What transparency measures will you have for this zine? I want to apply but I’ve seen zines where mods have ran away with the money.
Actually the one that's completed most certainly had it's donation completed right after leftovers ended, and the receipt was posted HERE
The other zines have yet to complete leftover sales
We're certainly sorry to hear that you've had experiences like that Anon, but we can assure you it won't be happening here
The mod team is all very social, open, and transparent and is happy to answer any questions anyone has throughout the process, we'll have a cost breakdown of our teirs available to anyone who wishes to see it as well as shipping estimates once our teirs have been decided on, and with the acknowledgement that prices do change frequently- especially shipping prices, they change twice a year- so if anything changes we'll let people know when that time comes
Contributors will be more than welcome to behind-the-scenes processes like veiwing digital proofs and frequent updates about the status of the PDF, as well as screencaps of the orders for individual teirs if they should be interested in having those
Contributors are also welcome to inquire about the exact costs and states of the financials at any given time, and if anyone- contributor or buyer- wishes to see receipts for anything, they're also welcome to those
We'll post our final tab after leftovers wrap up to show our donation(s) to the charity/charities of choice as well as let everyone know if it was in fact a split zine or not
Hopefully this eases your mind Anon, though if it doesn't, we understand, it can be hard to jump back into things when you've had prior bad experiences :)

To the anon who's asking about the chances of the project's completion, it looks like your message has been cut off I'm afraid D:
I'm going to try to answer your concerns here, but as some of your message has been cut off, please don't mind me if I don't address everything and feel free to resend! :)
We will be completing the project no matter what- now ofcourse things like sudden low interest in buyers or, heaven forbid, a real world circumstance like last year's pandemic that causes many of our contributors to drop, may impact the possibility of this being a physical zine- we want to be upfront with everyone that this sort of thing is always a possibility, however, even if it ends up being a free digital zine, we will absolutely complete the project in some manner or other- I, personally, have head moderated a few projects that encountered some very big problems, including a couple that were during the heart of the pandemic and had multiple issues related to it, but all of them went forward and I intend the same to happen here :)
You also mentioned our "page" several times, but could you please tell us if you're referring to our Tumblr page, our Twitter page, or our carrd page? As all three are run by different people and although we've all had our eyes on them and made sure everything is as concise, correct, and pretty as can be, it's important for us to know where exactly your concerns are stemming from so we can address them correctly, and so that we can make changes if need be :)
As for the mods, all of us except Mod Umii- who is one of our two graphic designers, in charge of illustrating our promotional graphics- have prior experience on multiple zines, this is our first time all working together as a mod team, though some of us have worked with eachother in pairs on other projects in the past, and some of us are working together on other zines now, having met through this one :) We all work together VERY well yes!
I'm afraid this is where your message cut off though :( So if there was more after that I haven't addressed yet, please feel free to resend!
~Mod Asagi
how are y'all doing for apps?
We're doing very well Anon! <3 It's going to be a very hard time for us to vote as we've received so many talented submissions ;_;

Hi! Your guidelines don’t state that you need a ATLA piece but your apps form state otherwise as well your apps say samples don’t need to be backgrounds but form says they do. Will you be disqualified if we don’t have a ATLA sample for art?
Hi there, I'm so sorry for the confusion!
It is heavily preferred that atleast one of your samples has a full background and that atleast one is ATLA or LOK
That said, you may not be outright disqualified, but you will be at a disadvantage because of how we judge works, as we're looking for (quite literally) the complete picture of what to expect from you, and not having that complete picture makes it harder for us to judge compared to those who do :)
This doesn't automatically mean that you won't get in, but it does make things much more difficult for us <3
