Dear Travelers,

Our submission form is now LIVE! 🐙🟢

To submit, please access the "Submissions" section of our carrd. There will be the previously posted guidelines, and underneath you'll be able to find a link to the form.

Dear Travelers,

The submission form is scheduled for this Monday, February 2nd! Once it goes up, contributors will be allowed to submit their contributions to the anthology, but a reminder that the final due date is not until April 15th.

Next we're going over what kind of subjects/media we'll accept.

Q: What kind of content is allowed? A: We will try our best to accommodate any submission, however GenAI is not allowed under any circumstances.

As we prep to open up our submission form to start accepting your works, we'll be going over some basic Q&A for what is allowed.

Still unsure what to contribute? Join us for a brainstorming event! We'll be hosting two sessions in our Discord (invite on our carrd).

💭 1st: Jan. 15th 12am UTC / Jan. 14th 7:00pm EST 💭 2nd: Jan. 17th 3:00pm UTC / Jan. 17th 10:00am EST

The journey of a thousand steps starts today! The Creation Period is now officially underway. 🐙💨

Also just to clarify this guideline: "he total submitted is no larger than two A4 pages worth of space." Does this mean multiple artworks can be submitted so long as they fit on a 2 A4 page spread?

Yes, these are correct assumptions and how submissions work.

For resolution: in theory either will do for the zine purposes. You are correct that 72dpi is sufficient for screen display and this will be a digital only anthology, so if you wish to only use the illustration for digital only purposes, then you may use this resolution. However, given the page size, if you are an artist that would like to possibly use your illustration for other means after the anthology is completed and permissions have been given to show your work fully (Aug. 8th, 2026), like say use it as a print, then we recommend formatting for that end goal with 300dpi and for CMYK print space.

For submissions: yes, multiple works can be submitted as long as it is at or under the guidelines. What is written on our carrd is the guidelines for the MAXIUM that can be submitted per person to the anthology. In the case of an illustrator, multiple works can be submitted as long as it fits within 2 A4 pages (ex. one page can be divided to accommodate 2 smaller illustrations). For submissions, we would like to give the most flexibility to our contributors on what they would like to put forth. For instance, since we are accepting NSFW submissions, an artist does not have to choose to do only SFW or only NSFW if they do not wish, as the guideline allows for 2 pages total.

An Important Update! 📣🐙

A Discord invite and submission guidelines have now been added to our carrd, as well as a small addition to the timeline.

Make sure to click on the Discord icon to be welcomed in to the server, traveler. We look forward to seeing you!

It's 2 weeks out until the Creation Period starts! Here is the mod team who will be heading the efforts in the anthology's Discord.
