#application questions

For the references: Put someone(s) down who knows your work ethic and professional qualifications. It doesn't need to be your boss, especially if you don't like them. Put down a teacher you liked, a pastor/minister, a family you babysat for a few times, or (and they'll really like this) someone at an organization you volunteered at. People in those positions get asked all the time if they'll be good references. Even if you screwed up everywhere you ever tried to do anything, someone will give you a reference.

And if you did screw up? Go middle aged white man confidence on it and put down references that don't match with exactly what they're looking for. Put down a roommate who saw you get up and go to work or school every day. Put down the coworker who trained you and list them as a "mentor".

Please don't be discouraged from applying!

I don't have a specfic prose or format I'm looking for to be honest. I'm hoping for this to be a project that will allow for creativity of various kinds.

It could be homebrew-esque writing to more poetry pieces. I'm honestly open to seeing anything!

I also plan to give each writer a chapter artist or two to work with to create illustrations to go along with any writing done.

The application has a couple of vague topic suggestions that I thought of when brainstorming the idea for the project but you're certainly not limited to that and anything ticked is not a final selection should you be chosen.

Hello! If you turn 18 by July 2022 (our proposed preorder period), you will be able to participate in our zine as a contributor. Please note that you'll need to have a Paypal account set up by this time as well.

Hope this answers your question Anon, thank you so much! We look forward to your application! ✨

Good evening, good morning and hello!

As promised, here’s the first weekly question roundup!

These questions come from people’s applications, the AI Discord server, and private messages.

Most are about applications, as is to be expected; like what examples are acceptable, and how writers can work with the word limit. But there are also questions about things like relationships in the zine or what mediums contributors can use.

Questions are under the cut!

hi there! just shoot us a message with the email they applied with, and we can update that info!

Hi there! As we cannot force ourselves and do something akin to a “background check” we are solely going based on honor system. This is a zine meant for trans and non binary content creators, people who are cis should be able to respect that and not lie about their identity. 

We highly doubt something like that will happen because as a community we like to trust that others will allow us to create this zine for those who need it - it’s so important for us non-cis people to have something inspiring and to see recognition in our favorite media! 

On the application we will ask for your gender identity and we trust you will be honest when answering it. If someone were to try and apply and create a piece that is suppose to support trans and nb headcanons WHILE pretending to be non-cis, then they are certainly not an ally of the community. 

Hello, anon! You may apply for several roles at once, yes! The application is designed in such a way to select multiple roles.

If you are hoping to create multiple pieces (a fic and a coloring page), we are likely only assigning one role to accepted contributors (so you are likely only going to be assigned one fic OR one coloring page). If you're hoping to create multiple pieces across different roles, you may elaborate in the last section of the application and we will consider it while evaluating your application.

We hope this answers your question! Thank you!
