Hey ! Sorry for my bad english: I'm all new here so I have few questions wich might sounds stupid but... Do you know approximatively the cost of a fanzine? When we'll be able to pre-order it? I didn't find those informations on your Tumblr, I'm sorry if it has already been answered before or if it's not okay to ask
Hello!!
Your english is wonderful, please never apologise for it!! :D
Welcome to the BNHA Myths Zine ^O^ and no question is stupid whatosever, so ask away with whatever you’d like :D
Currently, we don’t have any concrete set numbers for our bundles, but we’re aiming to have it sold at a range of $25-55 !! We have loads of stunning merch items being offered with everything and the content within the zine is to die for !! Ｏ(≧∇≦)Ｏ
We’re hoping to open preorders mid-late September, however this could change to mainly late September depending on how much we can prepare for it :D

I just realized that you guys will be making this thing for 8 whole months! Just how big is this zine going to be? And do you guys have any prices yet so I can have an idea of when to start saving?
Hello!!
It’s a really long project and we’re taking the utmost care going through with it to make sure we give you guys and our lovely contributors the best we can !! :D
Oh, and it’s going to be a rather big zine, we’ve estimated the zine to be over 200 pages and counting :D So, its a big boy (⌒▽⌒)☆
So far we don’t have any concrete numbers present to give you guys a for sure price, however we’re aiming to have our bundles ranging from $25-55, with loads of sweet surprises in each of them!! I’m completely biased when saying this, but its wholly worth the expense with all the merch and stunning works offered !! :D
Is it okay to send more than one submission for the contest?
Hello!!
Yes! You can send a maximum of TWO submissions for LETTERS TO THE INN, and TWO submissions for the MYTHS INN LOGO!
We’d like to just clarify that sending multiple files of the same logo design with different colouring will not count as a second entry, but a variation of one of the two you’ve submitted!
Ah, a curious mind is among our midst, interested in knowing some of the Inn’s secrets that haven’t been disclosed to anyone ever before. How strange, but nevertheless, we aim to please all visitors of the BNHA Myths Zine Inn and will do our best to reveal what we can.
And so it appears that you have come with luck by your side, for the guardian of scrolls seems to have gone out for lunch.
We understand that potential applicants may be curious as to how we will be judging their work in order to pick out our official contributors, questions such as “what are the mods looking for in this zine?” may have popped into the minds of few, it may even pop up in our inbox from time to time..
To put it simply, we are looking for grammar, spelling, tone, and flow of the storytelling. We are looking out for many things which will be explained in this post. These criteria follow the similar trend found across all zines including writers
Now, the thing we’ve all been waiting for: the bulletpoint list!
General syntax
Grammar
Spelling
Punctuation
This tends to be the rule of thumb among judging criteria across all zines including writers, its aim is to ensure the pieces look as professional as possible.
Details and Descriptions
Hook - ability to hook readers from the beginning, especially those applying for brackets A and B!!
We need to be able to see that you can engross the reader even in short pieces of writing. It’s a double edged sword, you may have a passion for description based pieces, however if the get long-winded it may lose its intended effect.
Dialogue Style
Dialogue can be descriptive and must add to the story/characters whenever possible. This does not necessarily mean that single line dialogue is completely prohibited !!
An example of dialogue styles we are wary of: “Hey, what’s up?” / “Nothing much. You?” / “Been okay.”
We must be cautious about exceeding certain page limits in regards to the zine’s overall page count, as an increase in pages results in an increase in production costs. Unfortunately, it will be difficult to accommodate to particular writing styles. We will do our best to support a variety of styles to the best of our ability !!
Tone/Voice
Having your own distinct voice that separates you from other applicants, giving your work the element that has your signature on it.
We are also looking at the way in which writers handle and maintain the tone in particular scenes (such as those with high tension, grief, dramatic effect etc.).
Characterisation
This remains to be self explanatory, we understand everyone includes headcanons into their writing of particular characters and those are always welcomed !! We will be looking for a sense of the character,
Regardless, you can submit samples that are not BNHA related, for those we will take into account all the elements presented above, we will particular focus on your characterisation of those characters to get a sense of how you can write them.
This is what we’ll be looking for when we begin judging application responses, as stated before, this is a single blind review, in which none of the other mods will influence the decision of another during the process. Not until we collate each vote and select our final writers!!

Will you guys think of releasing the prices of the bundles before it comes out? I really want it, but it being hardcover makes it so it might be more expensive, so I just want to know how much I should save up before hand
Hello nonny !!
We certainly will announce the prices prior to opening preorders !! :D
As of yet, we have been doing some recalculating because we have a very rough range of our merch bundles, some have been added to, some have been changed etc. But rest assured, we promise to do so :D
We’ll be making an official announcement once we’re confirmed all our prices and bundle options, along with a few added calculations to ensure everything is accounted for !!
Do any of the mods have examples of zines they've worked on before?
Hello!!
In fact, we do!! Each of us has been a contributor to an array of zines in the past, several of us are currently in some ongoing zines !!
We’re also rather happy with our line-up of mods as each of us has experience with the admin work behind zines, thus we’ve got a skilled group of individuals tackling parts of modding the Myths Zine!!
First up, Mod Ary has contributed to the following zines:
YOI zine Eat, Skate, Love
And an original zine: Sweet Girls
They have also helped create, manage, and write for an academic journal and they do freelance editing!
Our lovely mod Danie is participating for the first time on a zine! She’s a Graphic Design college student that loves illustration and animation, she hopes to participate in more zines in the future!
Next, Mod Dom has been a contributor to zines such as:
EraserMic Zine
BNHA: Level-Up
BNHA Mirrors zine
Disney x BNHA zine
Dom has not modded any fanzines,however, she has run a project that was sold locally!
Mod Fif has run multiple zines in the past, several BNHA ones and several from other fandoms including:
Wish: a Servamp Fairy Tale zine
Heathers: The Musical zine
BNHA Charity zine for Mexico
BNHA Level Up zine
BNHA Next Heroes zine
BNHA Boys zine
Voltron Magazine: Imperium
Lastly, Mod Slepsy (hello there :D) has been a contributor in several Haikyuu!!, BNHA and Voltron zines. They is mainly a curator of zines in the BNHA fandom, they’ve worked on formatting the published zines and acted as a general admin and such includes:
BNHA Quirk Zine
Kacchako Zine
Big Three Zine
(upcoming) Heroine Mystique zine
So, rest assured dear nonny, we have an experienced group of mods ready to create a lovely zine :D
How many applications have you guys already received ???
Hello!!
We’d like to keep the specific value under wraps until after the 22nd of March so not to worry any future applicants !! But its definitely more than we were ever expecting !! :O
But!! To any writer that is interested in applying: we are not doing a first-come-first-serve basis in our selection of writers. Each mod has a copy of the response spreadsheet and is judging on their own before we collect our data and narrow down to our official 15 writers !!
