@sbkzine
i applied as an artist and turned in the form, but i’ve since written a sbk fic and would like to also apply for writing. am i okay to just turn in the form again as exclusively writing, or should i fill out the form as an artist (again) and a writer?
You should be fine to just submit a writing form on its own, and we'll keep an eye out for a duplicate name on our end.
Hi! I’m filling out the application, and I was wondering if poetry and prose should be separate or together? I assume together, but I thought I’d check :)
Thank you!
Poetry and prose can absolutely be together!
Hello! I noticed that the contributor application needs you to sign in to fill it out; would it be possible to apply without signing into a google account?
Thank you for organizing this, and for your time!
This took a bit of research on our part--we hadn't intended to require sign-in, so we weren't sure why it was in fact requiring it! It seems to be an issue with file uploading, where any form with the option to upload a file automatically makes users sign in.
After a bit of consideration, we've made a hotfix. Here is a link to a copy of the form that won't require sign-in. Keep in mind that this means you will have to link your portfolio rather than having the option to upload it, so make sure to double check that it's visible to everyone!
SBK Zine Contributor Applications!
Contributor applications for the zine are now open! The form will close at 11:59pm CST on Dec 10. Here's a quick rundown for anyone looking to apply!
We're more likely to consider applictions which contain at least one piece pertinent to SBK! Either season works, and it can be something you've made specifically to include in your portfolio for this zine. Applications are open for quite a while, so you'll have time to whip something up if you'd like!
As much as we would love to see all the works you're proud of, mods have limited time. We've included both upper and lower limits regarding how many works we'd like to see (2-4 for writers, 3-5 for artists). Unfortunately, because writing portfolios take quite some time to judge, we also have a hard word count limit: all pieces (which may include snippets of longer works) should be no more than 3k words, and at least one piece should be 1k words or more. To respect our time, we will consider your portfolio more strongly if you stick within these guidelines.
Make sure your portfolio will be visible to anyone who opens it!
Because all our moderators are 18 or older, portfolios may contain NSFW, but keep in mind that the zine will be rated T and thus you wll be required to create a SFW piece. Non-canon shipping is also allowed in your portfolio, but your piece for the zine may only contain canon ships and canon-typical flirting/innuendos.
We are looking for approximately 10 page artists, 10 spot or comic artists, 10 writers, 1 cover artist, and as many merch artists as applications allow! Spot artists will be paired with writers to create illustrations to accompany a written piece; comic artists will be paired with writers to script a comic together, which the comic artist will illustrate.
You may apply for multiple positions, but will only be assigned one position to begin. If you finish your first piece and would like to create another in a different medium, speak to the mods and we'll see where we can accomodate you!
If you are willing to be assigned more than one piece when initial assignments are created, you may indicate so in the final free response question!
Hopefully this answers some questions you may have, but don't be afraid to send an ask if you have a question we haven't answered!
Here is the form!
So stoked about this zine!! Question, would shipping be allowed? Like even if our pieces shouldn't center shipping would like side mentions or implied romances be alright?
Thank you for your patience, and sorry for taking so long to get back to you on this! We wanted to discuss this with all our mods present, which meant waiting until mod decisions had been made and everyone's timezones aligned.
Upon discussion, for this zine, we will be using the general rule "stick to canon" which includes canon romance, flirting, innuendos, etc. However, this does mean that romances not canon to the SBK universe will not be allowed. We understand that canon can be blurry, and we're very willing to discuss with you if you're not sure what would be considered canon!
Mod Applications Closed!
Thank you all for spreading the word, and for those of you who applied, we will get back to you in a week at the latest! Stay tuned for the next update : ]

Interest Check Results
Let's start off strong with some graphs, shall we?
First of all, more than half of our responders are interested in participating as artists! We also have a surprisingly high number of responders interested in writing for the zine—generally, zines tend to draw in three times as many artists as writers. We also received no responders who were not interested in an SBK Zine. That's good, because we were going to go ahead with it anyways!
Kingdom distribution was iffy for a while, but you pulled through in the end so every kingdom would be able to have three people creating for them! Responses for Doak, Bamboo, and Mushroom ended up fitting together like puzzle pieces. Unsurprisingly, Jungle is the most popular (the people like the 'vids, apparently!). That said, more people expressed their love for the Birch kingdom in the free response questions. We love to see the enthusiasm!
You all seem very interested in the free merch! We'll be discussing them further as a mod team, but it's very likely we'll offer emoji packs, backgrounds, and another kind of art download.
While about half our responders were interested in potentially allowing M-rated works, the T-rating had more overall votes; this means the zine will be rated T! Thanks to some feedback, we have reconsidered our schedule and have decided to move it up somewhat. Our concerns regarding other events and zines running at the same time are overshadowed by the threat of college, and would likely be fixed by extending creation time. Our new schedule is thus:
Mod Finalization: Nov 7 Contributor Applications: Nov 14 - Dec 10 Acceptance/Rejection Emails Sent; Discord Server Opens: Dec 14 Creation Period: Dec 19 - Feb 20 Final Submissions and Extensions Due: Feb 28 Zine Release: March 7
Below the cut is a copy of our FAQ, which was originally posted in a reblog of the Interest Check!
SBK Zine Interest Check
Hello SBK fans! Have you been watching all these other zines and wondering, Where's the zine for me? Well, look no further! We're looking to gauge interest in an SBK Zine. This free digital zine would cover all kingdoms of Season 1, sectioned by kingdom, and we hope to have enough interest for each kingdom to have at least one writer and at least two artists. Other mediums are being considered, as well as possible free, downloadable merch such as device backgrounds, emojis, or icons.
Whether you're interested or not, we'd appreciate you filling out this form! If you're not interested, there are only a couple required questions, so it should be pretty quick and easy to let us know you're not interested. If you are interested, we'd love to also hear what you want to see in the zine!
The interest check will be open until September 26 at 23:59 EST, so you've got plenty of time to respond.
But why wait? The link's right here! We'll see you there!
24 hours left!
Last chance to fill out the interest check before it closes! Once it's closed, we'll compile the resulting information and confirm our next steps! In the meantime, here's a brief FAQ:
Will AUs be allowed?
We will have a form to submit your pitches (ideas for zine pieces). Mods would like to look over AU pitches, but we're more than willing to at least consider them! We can't draw a clear-cut line between what AU pitches we would be willing to accept at this time
Would atypical forms of writing (such as poetry) be allowed?
Yes, absolutely!
Will an email be required to participate in the zine?
We will need some way to contact you, of course, but if you can't use an email we can find a way to accommodate you
Will participants be required to join a Discord server?
The Discord server will not be required. Zine servers are often fun and encourage morale while participants and mods create their pieces, but ours won't be necessary
