Rise from the Ashes

We are now set in stone with the Zine’s format and have the contributor application go live! Please click HERE to be redirected to the Contributor Application post for more information. There is a Google Doc version HERE for ease of access. 

The non-profit, non-selective digital Zine will feature and welcome fan arts, fan fiction, graphic edits, cosplay, poems, lyrics, 3D art, etc. on Final Fantasy Type-0. These are the following guidelines and information pertaining to the Zine:

SPOILER = OK As the game has been out for some time, and for an even longer time with the PSP release, spoilers will be allowed. 

Spin-offs (Agito, Ice Reaper, etc.) = OK We allow official materials outside of the main Final Fantasy Type-0 game to be a part of this Zine. 

Headcanons, AUs, Crossovers, Ships = OK Headcanons and ships are greenlit. There will be a section in the Zine that will separate AUs/Crossovers not related to Final Fantasy Type-0 concepts from the main series to prevent any confusion. We ask that for crossovers, Final Fantasy Type-0 characters must share or be in the spotlight with other characters should they be included. I will request changes to the final product or if it does not meet this criterion. 

Angst? Fluff? Smut? Gore?  We require that all products must be restricted to PG-13. No explicit themes are allowed. However, since the nature of the series is chock-full of tragedy and political controversies, we will allow it so long as it does not pose intentional harm to IRL readers and creators. 

OCs?  Unfortunately, we will not be taking in OCs for this Zine. We want the focus to be entirely on canon characters. 

Can I share my WIP?  Small previews and rough sketches are fine through social media, but we would like to keep the final product a secret until the release of the Zine. Wouldn’t want to ruin the surprise!

First off, I want to thank everyone for submitting their response to the Interest Check Form! We appreciate your opinions and input on the Zine as we get closer to the official starting date on October 18th at 2:00 PM (EST). While we are busy finalizing on our end, I would like to provide you all with some interesting stats to chew on.*
