right so it’s been a week since applications have been up!
just a couple of things involving prompt assignments, the question of when people will be joining the discord server, and for anyone who has been looking to apply as a zine mod:
i’m glad to say the amount of people joining thus far exceeds the minimum required to put in content for things like, the kg2 missions. not quite enough for every character, so that means a few people will not be assigned a mission, as of right now. they’ll still be able to participate with their additional content as default, in that case.
it’s still too early to decide anything, as we have until March 13 for applications to close. as for people’s preferences with who would want to be assigned a mission, and who would not-- that’s something we can discuss together in the fanzine server once we’ve invited everyone ( or if you’re not on discord, we’ll message you the deets and you can decide from there )
onto the matter of the discord server-- i, personally as the head mod, would like to wait until applications have been open for enough time, that we have an idea of which people should be assigned which prompt before inviting people to the server. as it stands right now, it’s not a requirement for that to happen, and we are able to invite everyone to the server currently!
i won’t be able to do that myself, as i’m very busy this week so this is in case the other mods are available to start inviting people. if not, then we’ll have to wait closer to the next two weeks for me to invite people to the server personally.
if you have changed your discord handle between the time you sent your application form, to until March 13, please let us know.
as for those who want to apply as a zine mod-- i probably should have announced this earlier but for the sake of efficiency, we can only accept writing editors if there are also people applying as graphic editors.
this is because the graphics team is currently only composed of myself and my s/o, and alongside being able to contact each other quickly, we also live a few minutes away from each other so there’s less need to send the files back and forth online. the writing goes hand in hand with the graphics ( edited before it gets put onto the zine, and edited after it gets put onto the zine ) so these files that the graphics team uses would also have to be transferred to the writing editors.
but because there are no graphics editors other than us, we don’t need to do too much file transferring and wait for timezones or anything. because of this, we decided it would be more efficient if the two of us just managed the text editing at the same time. if there was a 3rd person on the graphics team, then we would have to do more file transferring regardless, and if that ends up happening anyway, it’d make sense to share the files with any other writing editors as well. currently, that’s not the case so unfortunately we can’t take in writing editors without another graphics editor, and graphics editors do need to have a sufficient portfolio and be familiar with photoshop, illustrator, and/or indesign.
--as always, if there are any questions about these things feel free to ask!
