Introduction to the Caine-Centric Zine!
A zine is a self published book/magazine created by an individual (like me!) or a group (you guys!) they are usually a small DIY book, small art magazine, or curated ebook! They often focus on niche, personal, or pop culture content!
What is the purpose/goal of a Caine-centric Zine?
This zine will be celebration and collaborative effort to show our love for a certain AI Ringmaster! The only goal is to show and pour our little hearts out!
What is a E-zine and will this zine have a physical copy?
A E-zine is an electronic copy of a magazine! Think PDF file or ebook! Unfortunately, I do not have the ability to make a physical version that would require a much larger team to handle especially if itβs for profit, charity or even has additional merchandise! I will revisit this idea in the future so stay tuned after the wrapping up for this one! Consider this a trial period!
When do applications open?
The application period has not yet been opened yet! This zine is still in the organization/planning stage but shortly a week from now or until the timer on the original interest vote ends! I do have a set date to be ready by March 18th tho!
How to apply/participate?
The first stage of when applications open I will have a link to direct yβall to a google form that you will be filling out! Make sure to read all the information there and fill it correctly this first application period is more of a formality but necessary to know how many of you will be officially participating!
The second stage of applications will be for art submissions and while they havenβt been open yetβ¦ you can submit absolutely anything! Artwork, writing, animation, photography, etc. as long as itβs Caine related you are free to submit your work! When official applications for art submissions begin youβll have the option to submit either SFW or NSFW (or both!) but it can only be 1 submission per section!
How will the SFW and NSFW work be sectioned?
2 books will be made available!
The SFW version | The lover with a heart
Will have all the SFW material available and NOT include any of the NSFW content!
The NSFW version | The loverβs after hours
Will have the all the SFW content and NSFW content! There will be a label in place when the NSFW begins as a final warning!
If all entries are accepted how will submitting an animation or audio file go?
For these sorts of submissions you will be required to upload the video or audio file to a streaming service (YouTube, SoundCloud, or TikTok) and Iβll have redirected links embedded into the section of your submission in the zine.
Iβm a beginner artist but I still want to join am I allowed to?
Yes! I know that everyone has to start somewhere so I will be making a dedicated section for my beginner artistsβ¦ though this means you wonβt have a spread or page to yourself but will be sharing with other beginners in small spaces. Everyone has to start somewhere and personally I am NOT a fan of excluding beginner artists! All artists of any skill level should be celebrated and this zine was made for the purpose of loving!
However, if you consider yourself a beginner but I deem you skilled enough your art will go under my review and Iβll decide if you get a page to yourself or not!
Am I still able to drop out of the zine if I canβt complete my work?
Yes! If by chance you want to drop out of the zine send me a message with the name youβll put in the application and Iβll gladly remove you from the participantβs list!
Are you really only one person organizing this?
Yes! While it may seem like a lot I actually already have experience hosting and handling artwork for events and closed circles alike! So no need to fear this zine will not be dropped randomly!
Can we look forward to new zines after this?
If all goes well hopefully! π
