General Guidelines

⑴ All contributors must be 18 or older at the time of contributor applications.⑵ We will have a zero tolerance policy for plagiarism. If it is discovered that you plagiarised items on your portfolio by tracing, heavily referencing without credit, or outright stealing the artwork of others without permission, you will be immediately banned from the project.⑶ Works created with the use of generative AI will not be permitted in our project. Including them in your samples automatically eliminates you, too.⑷ For the duration of the project, please do not share your piece outside of the project’s Discord server until you are permitted to do so. This includes sharing WIPs, asking someone outside the project to beta read or give art critique, or posting your completed piece on social media. However, with mod permission (please ask first!), you can include your piece in a private portfolio.⑸ Once the volume you’re in is complete, you can do with your piece as you wish.⑹ Bigotry, bullying and harassment will not be permitted in any way, be it on Discord or social media. This includes judging fictional content contributors create or interact with in adult spaces.⑺ If you have any criticism of the mods, we are open to hearing it! Feel free to message one of us at any time with concerns or fears you may have and we’ll do our best to respond accordingly. We ask that disputes be handled privately first and foremost.⑻ By participating in this zine, you accept following the schedule and guidelines. Because of our speedrun nature, extensions can't be given after the hard deadline.
