Sun-kissed: A Summer Rinshi Zine.
Sun-kissed is a summer themed Rinshi Zine. It is all digital and completely free. If you are interested in writing or drawing for this ship, come join us and apply.
General Rules and Guidelines:
All Applicants must be 16+
The general rating of the work within this zine would be around 16+ at the highest.
All zine pieces must be safe for work. Risqué pieces will be reviewed on a case by case basis, but straight NSFW pieces will not be permitted.
Mild gore is also permitted in the zine, but nothing too major.
Zine pieces may include other Aoex characters, but please keep the focus of the piece to Rin and Shiemi. Additionally, you may hint at other pairings in your piece, but Rinshi should be the only ship that is explicitly shown.
The content within this zine should be primarily Rinshi, but some non Rinshi content is permitted.
Non Rinshi content should not outnumber Rinshi content.
Content focusing on just Rin or just Shiemi is permitted.
Content focusing on all of the characters is also permitted, just as long as Rin and Shiemi have prominence.
Crossovers and OCs are not permitted in this zine.
You may contribute in multiple pieces, and apply for any of the categories. However please be realistic with yourself and the timeframe. Do not overcommit yourself.
Most of the communication for this zine will be done through Discord, so it is required that you have an account.
You must include something with Rin or Shiemi. Although Rinshi work is not required for the submissions, it is highly encouraged.
All artwork must be full illustrations. Color is not required, but the pieces should be finished and polished artwork. Color is required for Cover Art, but nothing else.
The only exception to all artwork must be full illustrations, is artwork accompanying fics. Although they can be full illustrations, they do not have to be. Artwork accompanying a fanfiction should be clean sketches at the minimum.
If you wish to illustrate for a specific writer, please apply with that writer in the collaboration form
Please make sure your art is high quality.
Traditional art is also permitted, just make sure your work is high quality
For fics- word count for zine entries must be between 1,000-3,000 words. Entries cannot exceed 3,000 words.
If you do have another non-fic idea that you would like to write in this zine, feel free to share it! We are open to other forms of writing beyond fanfic
Since the overall rating of this zine is 16+ profanity is allowed.
Please keep your writing samples to under 3,000 words. If you are using an excerpt from a fic, it is fine if the fic itself is longer, but the excerpt should not be.
If you are using a Google Doc, please make sure the Doc’s sharing is set to, “Anyone with the link can view”, BEFORE you submit the Google Doc
Twitter threads will not be accepted
If you wish to do a collaboration with someone, please use the collaboration forum to apply together.
Because there are two people, you will be submitting information and samples from both applicants.
If you both have already worked together, it is highly encouraged that you send some collaborative work. If not, that’s okay, just send in work from both applicants.
