Hi! Is it possible to apply to the zine as an unamed participant (will share my public accounts in the application but would prefer not to share it outside the zine). Since I see people getting harrassed over this ship and I just worry about it. 🥹 I totally understand if that's not possible. Thank you for your time.

We understand your apprehension, and while the mods can't allow fully anonymous submissions, we will do our best to ensure your comfort and therefore allow pen names or pseudonyms if that allows you more breathing room! The process itself can't be kept anonymous due to the collaborative nature of the zine, but for the final production, we will of course accommodate and use your pseudo instead.

Also to previous ask, are the guidelines for what to submit for applications only hosted on the discord? I see references to submitting certain links on the applications that somewhat define what to submit but also seem to be in reference to a different group of requirements I cannot find on the zine’s website. I know every project will have different organization, but I would definitely appreciate if more of that information was shared on socials or on the zine’s website to be accessed more clearly.

All information in regards to expectations for submissions are posted here as well as on the applications. On our tumblr page, we have a post of all the application links, and below the line break is a breakdown of expectations for formatting. The applications themselves also give a numbered list for what you have to submit.

For reference, please look at the pictures here:

The zine website will also be updated to host this information, but for clarification, the only extra information the server has gotten is an hour earlier access to the applications. If there are specific questions such as what you want to submit and if they qualify, then we can answer them!

Hello! Dropping this ask here as it’s the main option available. Is there a reason we have to join the discord server before the application acceptance process? I usually only prefer to join a project space if I know I’ll be working on it, as I’m not the most comfortable in those spaces otherwise. Is it a requirement to join as part of one’s application to be considered? Or can we join when/if we get confirmation of contributor acceptance?

If you find that you're uncomfortable, you can hold off on joining the server right away. Just please make sure to fill out the email portion of the application so we can reach out to you!
