1) The last of the official Hermitcraft Fan Art Galleries is running at the moment, and there's still a week left to send in your submission! You can find the main info post about it here and a handy info PDF about it available here , but in short you can send in your art of the hermits and have it appear on the Hermitcraft server as a minecraft painting.

A 25 person group painting with a limited resolution makes for the kind of fun challenge we'd be tempted to try and do a Hermitzine edition about if the actual hermits hadn't gotten to it first. :D

We encourage you to go and participate, it's a chance to show the hermits our appreciation!

Hi!

Hermitzine's on a mini hiatus at the moment while the mods focus on school work / get sighted in the wilderness and mistaken for a brand new cryptid, but we'll be getting back into the swing of it with applications for a new edition once we aren't quite so busy / finish digging ourselves out of this unmarked shallow grave.

We have just the blog for you! @mcytblrsource tracks all things happening in the MCYT fandom, all kinds of events including zines! There are currently a few zines with open applications, or gearing up to opening them, and you can find them listed there.

if they’ve already been answered then feel no need to answer

Is there an age restriction for how old someone has to be to participate in a zine?

Can someone with (nearly) no social media join a zine?

And what if you end up getting chosen for the art side of things, but you also want to write something with your piece? (and the other way round of course)

Absolute love the ninth zine, and can’t wait for the next one!! (will definitely be signing up for it :>)

Great questions! We've got an FAQ where you can find the answers, but they're also worth answering here for people to see:

1. Applicants need to be 15 years or older when applying to participate in the zine.

2. Absolutely, we ask for social media links in the applications form in case we want to check out more of your work, but we pick applicants based on their work, not their follower count. If you don't have social media links or don't want to share them, you don't have to, you can share your portfolio pieces through something like a dropbox or google drive link.

We love the enthusiasm!

When Hermitzine 10 rolls around, we'll open applications, and anyone who wants to participate will fill out a quick google form and show us 3-5 examples of their past work (eg art or writing).

We'll go through those applications and pick anywhere from 40 to 75 contributors, they join us in the zine discord, and everybody has around 3 months to create their piece for the zine. We can read more details about our application process in our FAQ here!

I was wondering if I could upload your zines to archive .org since this was a free-to-read zine. There will be proper credit, of course, with links to your socials and website, and I can send a link here back if you want.

Thank you!

We don’t mind at all! We try to make Hermitzine editions something everybody can enjoy, and we like the idea that any hermit can check out one of our editions and see their creative efforts reflected back at them in the form of the creative efforts they’ve inspired.

Great question! As a general rule the timing of Hermitzine editions isn't related to Hermitcraft seasons, and neither is the theme - there are some hermit related zines out there that are season specific, but we're actually a bit more general. Each edition we put out is around a theme (music, environments/places, the ABCs, etc), but contributors aren't limited to specific seasons.
