SBK Zine Contributor Applications!
Contributor applications for the zine are now open! The form will close at 11:59pm CST on Dec 10. Here's a quick rundown for anyone looking to apply!
We're more likely to consider applictions which contain at least one piece pertinent to SBK! Either season works, and it can be something you've made specifically to include in your portfolio for this zine. Applications are open for quite a while, so you'll have time to whip something up if you'd like!
As much as we would love to see all the works you're proud of, mods have limited time. We've included both upper and lower limits regarding how many works we'd like to see (2-4 for writers, 3-5 for artists). Unfortunately, because writing portfolios take quite some time to judge, we also have a hard word count limit: all pieces (which may include snippets of longer works) should be no more than 3k words, and at least one piece should be 1k words or more. To respect our time, we will consider your portfolio more strongly if you stick within these guidelines.
Make sure your portfolio will be visible to anyone who opens it!
Because all our moderators are 18 or older, portfolios may contain NSFW, but keep in mind that the zine will be rated T and thus you wll be required to create a SFW piece. Non-canon shipping is also allowed in your portfolio, but your piece for the zine may only contain canon ships and canon-typical flirting/innuendos.
We are looking for approximately 10 page artists, 10 spot or comic artists, 10 writers, 1 cover artist, and as many merch artists as applications allow! Spot artists will be paired with writers to create illustrations to accompany a written piece; comic artists will be paired with writers to script a comic together, which the comic artist will illustrate.
You may apply for multiple positions, but will only be assigned one position to begin. If you finish your first piece and would like to create another in a different medium, speak to the mods and we'll see where we can accomodate you!
If you are willing to be assigned more than one piece when initial assignments are created, you may indicate so in the final free response question!
Hopefully this answers some questions you may have, but don't be afraid to send an ask if you have a question we haven't answered!
Here is the form!
