Review these guidelines as you choose the samples and concepts you'd like to include in your application! Specific instructions are included in the application form.
The application will ask for:
Creator Info (name, contact info, etc.)
Creator Role Interest (solo/co-creation, story/page art, cover artist, etc.)
Code of Conduct Acknowledgment
1 - 2 Pitch Concepts (see below)
Art or Writing Samples (see below)
Make sure that your Crow AU meets the Project Guidelines BEFORE you apply!
If you are in any way unsure if your AU qualifies, send us an ask or email [email protected] before you apply! Applications with ineligible AUs will not be considered.
Be detailed when describing your pitch concepts.
This project prioritizes balanced representation of AU types! As you may have seen from our interest check results, a lot of creators are interested in similar concepts. Make sure your pitch concept highlights the unique details of your idea - when in doubt, more information is better!
Co-Creation vs. Story Art Collaboration
Co-Creation: Two individuals collaborating in the same medium to create a single work within zine guidelines. Examples: two writers create a single 5k fic, or two artists create a single-page comic.
Story Art Collaboration: An artist/writer pairing where the artist creates a full page illustration inspired by the writer's fic.
You may apply either as a co-creator team OR a solo creator - not both. If you are interested in creating story art, or having your story illustrated, please apply as a solo creator. Matches will be facilitated after the contributor team is finalized.
Works must be created originally for this project, not reused, repurposed, or reposted.
It is okay to pitch concepts that use existing OCs, world states, or series, as long as your zine concept is a standalone concept. It is also okay to have pre-existing notes, or to pitch an idea that you have been noodling on for a while.
You should not have started the creation process in earnest prior to acceptance into the zine.
If you have any questions about the application process, your AU concept, or anything else, send us an ask or email [email protected]!
See below for Writer and Artist-Specific Guidelines.
Writer-Specific Guidelines
Samples of all ratings are allowed. Three samples are required.
All samples should be from the Dragon Age franchise.
At least one sample should be a completed one-shot fic with a word count between 1000 - 5000 words. The other two samples may be excerpts from a longer work.
At least one sample should have an Antivan Crow character in a major role. Preferably a main character from one of your pitched concepts, but this is not required.
Samples do not have to be published. Make sure that the share settings on your document allow the work(s) to be viewed by anyone with the link.
A portfolio link (such as your AO3 profile) is highly encouraged but not required.
Writer Pitch Concepts ask for:
Writers will be accepted to create one (1) piece for the zine.
Estimated word count (non-binding; it is okay if the completed work ends up with more or less words, within zine guidelines)
Expected rating
Whether the work will be generic, platonic, or ship/romance focused
Primary Character(s) and Pairing(s)
Description of the AU
Be as detailed as possible - the more info, the better! We are looking for a diverse representation of AUs, so tell us what makes your concept unique and distinct from other AUs of the same type.
For canon-divergent AUs, please clearly describe the aspect(s) of canon divergence.
Story Art Interest (story art cannot be guaranteed for any writer and will depend on the number of accepted story artist applications)
Artist-Specific Guidelines
Samples of all ratings are allowed. Three samples are required.
All samples should be from the Dragon Age franchise.
Samples in the style you intend to create for the zine are preferred. If you're applying with a comic concept, show us comics you've created before!
At least two (2) samples should be fully colored with a background. Simple backgrounds (anything more detailed than solid color) are allowed.
At least one (1) sample must include an Antivan Crow character. Preferably a main character from one of your pitched concepts, but this is not required.
Samples do not need to be published/shared, but the application does not support direct file uploads. A link from gDrive, Squidge, or another hosting platform is acceptable.
A portfolio link is highly encouraged, but not required.
Artist Pitch Concepts ask for:
If you are ONLY applying to create story art, you do not need to pitch any concepts.
Type of art (single-page illustration, single-page comic, multi-page comic)
Expected rating
Whether the work will be generic, platonic, or ship/romance-focused
Primary Character(s) and Pairing(s)
Description of the AU
Be as detailed as possible - the more info, the better! We are looking for a diverse representation of AUs, so tell us what makes your concept unique and distinct from other AUs of the same type.
For canon-divergent AUs, please clearly describe the aspect(s) of canon divergence.
Optional: a thumbnail sketch of your concept
Other Artist Info:
Artists may be accepted to create up to two (2) pieces: an independent concept + a story illustration, two independent concepts, or two story illustrations.
The cover artist will create two (2) full page illustrations. Cover art cannot be explicit, and pitched concepts should represent the theme of Antivan Crow AUs more generally.
Due to the cover art concept limitations, the cover artist may be allowed to create an additional interior page art with a more specific concept, if they wish.

Hello! If we wanted to work with a specific person, would we have the ability to choose partners for co-writing or for art/story collabs?
Hello!
For co-writing pairs, you will be able to apply together with the person you want to collaborate with and your application will be considered together. So, yes, for co-creation pairs working in the same medium (co-writers, or co-artists), you get to choose who you work with.
For art/story collaboration, we will have a matching process in which artists rank stories they are interested in illustrating, and the match is ultimately made by the moderators.

What is an Antivan Crow AU?
For the purposes of this project, an Antivan Crow AU is any alternate universe work that centers on at least one canonical Antivan Crow character (including original Crow characters such as Rook de Riva).
We encourage most forms of AU, including but not limited to setting change AUs and canon-adjacent AUs. For more details on the specific requirements, please see our About post.
Interest Check
Before we get started, we're looking to find out whether we have enough writers, artists and readers to support the zine! Please participate in our interest check, and we'd appreciate any shares and reblogs!
For more information about the project, please see the linked resources below. If you have questions, feel free to send us an ask, or email us at [email protected].

The Avis Alternata interest check closes tomorrow!
We want to know if you'd be interested in creating for or reading an Antivan Crow AU zine before we make our final decisions about production! Please get your interest check in now if you haven't already!
Quick question: Does the work need to be a fully self-contained story or can it be a smaller story within a larger AU / longer eventual story?
Works must be able to be read as a standalone piece! The story may involve pre-existing OCs, or be set in pre-existing worldstates, AUs, or series, but readers should not need to read your 50k longfic to follow the plot.
Works cannot be chapters/excerpts that you intend to later insert into a longer fic, even if they currently stand on their own.

What is an Antivan Crow Alternate Universe?
For the purposes of this zine, AUs must meet the following requirements:
At least one primary character must be a canonical Antivan Crow. In pairing-focused works, at least one member of the primary pairing must be a canonical Antivan Crow.
To qualify as an Antivan Crow for the above requirements, the character must be an Antivan Crow at some point in canon.
Original Crow Characters, including Rook de Riva, qualify as canonical Crow characters. Spite does not independently qualify as a Crow character.
In AUs where the Crows exist, at least one primary Crow character must remain affiliated with the Crows. AUs where the Crows do not exist must still primarily feature Crow characters.
Setting-change AUs are permissible, but non-Dragon Age characters should have minimal appearances.
In canon-divergent AUs, the divergence must be central to the plot or readily apparent in the artwork.
See the full AU parameters on our About post.
Can I include non-Crow main characters?
Yes! Your story or artwork can include non-Crow characters in main roles as long as it meets the Crow character/pairing requirements otherwise outlined.
What does "meaningful divergence from canon" mean?
To qualify for the zine, canon-divergent AUs must feature meaningful divergence from canon. This means that the facts altered from canon should be directly relevant to the plot and/or readily apparent in artwork, which could include alterations to the setting, events, character roles, or relationships.
Works that continue canon events, illustrate canon scenes, or introduce only small, surface-level changes will not qualify as AUs for this zine.
If you are unsure whether or not your concept qualifies, reach out to us via email or the contact form before you submit your application.
How were the AU guidelines determined?
Alternate Universe has a broad definition, and while we love that variety, our goal with this zine is to celebrate Dragon Age and the Antivan Crows within an AU framework, not necessarily to celebrate AUs as a broader concept.
The guidelines were created with an eye toward allowing creators to explore different AUs, while still keeping the content focused on the Antivan Crows.
What if I'm not sure my AU idea is eligible?
Please make sure you've reviewed the full AU parameters, not just the ones here in the FAQ. If you're still uncertain whether your idea qualifies, send us an email or use the contact form on our website. We'll let you know if your idea is in line with our requirements.
IMPORTANT: You must do this prior to submitting your application.
What happens if I apply for the zine with an AU idea that isn't eligible?
Applications with pitches that do not follow the guidelines will not be accepted, and you will not have the opportunity to resubmit with a new idea.
Please ensure in advance that your pitch is eligible. If you aren't sure, reach out to us via email or the contact form prior to submitting your application. We're happy to answer any questions!
What kinds of contributions will be accepted?
The zine will feature both fanfiction and fanart submissions. Exact specifications will be announced following the interest check.
How will the pitch/submission process work?
Following the interest check, we will release an application form for the zine. Writers and artists will submit pitches for the piece(s) they would like to create as part of their application.
More details and guidelines will be shared after completion of the interest check!
My friend and I have a shared AU. Can we apply together?
You are both welcome to apply, but your applications will be reviewed independently. We cannot guarantee that both of you will be accepted, even if you apply with matching pitches.
If your AU involves an OC that belongs to another person, you must confirm with the creator that they are okay with your use of their OC, even if they are not applying to or accepted for the zine.
Please confirm this prior to submitting your application with this pitch. If they are not okay with your using their OC under these conditions, please submit a different pitch.
How much time will creators have to work on their piece(s)?
The creation period is currently estimated at approximately four months, with the exact dates to be finalized after completion of the interest check.
You can see a tentative schedule here - please not that the timeline may be subject to change, but will be available in its final form prior to contributor applications.
