FAQ

Will this zine be SFW or NSFW?
This zine will be entirely SFW.What is this zine about?
This zine will be about soulmate AUs that center around Aizawa Shouta from My Hero Academia! We will allow both romantic and platonic soulmate AUs.What ships are allowed in this zine?
As long as Aizawa is in the ship, we will be allowing any ships that do not feature minor/adult content. If you choose to age Aizawa down for your contribution, whoever he is paired with must be an adult in canon (i.e. you can create a high school AU with Shirakumo, Aizawa, and Yamada, but you cannot create a high school AU pairing Shinsou and Aizawa together). We also ask that no canonically minor characters are aged up for the sake of a ship. We welcome rare and common ships and plan to portray a balance of both in the finished project!Is this zine digital or physical?
This zine will be available physically and digitally! Depending on the Interest Check results, we will decide whether this project will be for Profit or Charity (or a mix).Will there be merch?
We plan to offer both physical and digital merch as well as stretch goals. More details will be determined through the interest check and as we gather our merch artists!Are minors allowed in the zine?
Yes! As this zine is completely SFW, minors are welcome and encouraged to apply for the project!Can I apply for more than one position?
Yes. However, you can only be accepted for one position.Do I need to have a Discord account?
Yes, should you be selected, a Discord account is required. We will share announcements, updates, and general communications in the zine server. It’s our main hub of communication.Will we be able to ask for feedback on applications?
We will be unable to offer feedback on applications once they close as we will be dedicating our efforts toward kicking off the creation period of the zine and welcoming in contributors.How do check-ins work?
Check-ins are periods throughout the creation period where your pieces will be turned in to the Mods to showcase progress. Details of what is expected for each check-in will be detailed in the designated channels in our Discord server. The dates for each check-in are provided on our schedule!Will extensions be allowed?
Definitely! We will announce reminders one week in advance prior to every due date. Should you require an extension, simply ask for one in the designated channels or message a Mod directly.What happens if I miss a deadline?
We ask that you keep track of deadlines and let us know as soon as you can if you think you may miss one. We will be very firm on the final submission dates as this will make zine assembly much easier for release. If you feel that you will not be able to meet a deadline, please ask for an extension sooner than later!Failure to respond to announcements and reminders regarding deadlines, inform a mod of your absence, or show us progress of your work by the second check-in will result in removal from the project. Remember, this only applies if you fail to communicate your absence(s). If you inform us of any delays in advance and manage to show us progress of your work, you will not be removed from the project. We understand that life and health come first.Please feel free to send any other questions to our Tumblr or CuriousCat!
