Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q. WHAT IS MISSING SCENES?

Missing Scenes is a charity zine focused on portraying missing moments between the canon scenes depicted in the ABC television show 9-1-1.

We are aiming for Missing Scenes to have a physical print, so contributors must apply and be accepted to participate in the zine.

Q. WHAT CONTENT IS ALLOWED?

Content for Missing Scenes can include canon compliant, canon divergent, or canon adjacent ideas that could feasibly exist within the main 9-1-1 universe, depicted through art and writing. 9-1-1: Lone Star and 9-1-1: Nashville will not be included in this project.

All content must be rated PG-13/TV-14 or lower, meaning it must be compliant with what could feasibly air on the show itself. Minimal gore, violence, and sexual themes are allowed, as long as they are not explicit and are in line with the canon typical content.

Q. ARE ANY SHIPS NOT ALLOWED?

All canon relationships, as well as both Buddie and BuckTommy, will be allowed within the zine. We understand that this is a rocky situation to navigate, but as the focus of the zine is on missing scenes from the show, we felt that no characters should be left out. 

That being said, all contributors must remain respectful and understanding of each other and their shipping preferences. No fandom drama, character/ship bashing, or infighting will be allowed in the server or as part of the zine. This is meant to be a fun project and a safe space for contributors to create and be involved in.

If any of these infractions (drama, bashing, infighting, etc) occur, the participant(s) will be removed from the project.
