All Acceptance/Rejection Emails Have Been SENT!

🎉🎉Woohoo! 🎉🎉

If you applied to our zine, please remember to check your spam folder in your email. Gmail wasn't fond of us trying to send a bunch of emails all at once, and it's likely we were flagged as spam.

A bunch of contributors have already joined our server, and we could not be more excited to get the ball rolling!!

That's a wrap on contributor apps! Thanks to everyone who applied.

The mod team will sort through the applications, and we currently plan to send email results next weekend. We'll share another update if that changes.

Can the work be posted on the authors media account after it “airs” in the zine? Like a fic being sent to the zine. Could it then be posted on AO3?

Absolutely! When the zine is published/made available to download, authors are more than welcome (encouraged, in fact) to cross-post their fics to AO3.

Super excited for this! Question about the application: do the writing submissions all need to be SFW since the zine is? I have one out of three examples that is mostly SFW (but not completely), but I'd still like to include it if possible. If not, I totally understand and I'll omit it. Thanks!

Hey there! Great question. Your written samples don't need to be SFW; all contributors and the mods are over 18 and we don't mind seeing NSFW work in your sample if it's what you're most proud of!

Mod Apps Are CLOSED!

Thanks for your interest, everybody! Mod apps are now closed, and the mods will be sorting through applicants and sending results out within the next week.

Next to open will be contributor apps, and we are still on track to open those on August 1!

We're Closing the Interest Check EARLY!

With a whopping 95 responses (!!) we have decided to close the interest check EARLY! This is awesome news, and both of us are floored by the support.

What's next?

Over the weekend, both of us mods will finalize the mod app and get it posted. PLUS, we will be sharing our Guidelines and FAQ so you can get the full details of what the zine's scope is before deciding whether you want to apply. We won't post contributor apps until our full mod team is assembled, so you've got time!

Thanks again, everyone!! ❤️ We'll talk again soon. (And as a side note, I gotta say: you've all got great taste in Ratchet ships.)
