FAQ

What is the theme of this zine?
This zine is themed around the horror and scary moments across the Legend of Zelda franchise!
Is this zine for-profit or for-charity?
This will be a for-charity zine. The selected charity will be announced at a later time!
Is this zine digital or physical?
This will be decided after the Interest Check.
Will NSFW content be allowed?
Sexual content and nudity will not be allowed in the final zine, as well as heavy, realistic depictions of gore.
This zine aims to stick as close to the canonical material in the series as possible,
so any horror content and canon typical violence that can be seen in the official games are allowed to be depicted here.
How many contributors will you accept?
Our interest check will help us determine this number.
Can I apply to more than one role?
Yes, but you may only be accepted to one.
Is shipping content allowed?
We’ll be accepting ships that appear in the canon!
Will the zine include AUs?
No, this will be a canon-compliant zine!
May I share works in-progress I've done for this zine?
Work in-progress may be shared online with the mod team’s permission,
but nothing more than 40% finished.
Sharing progress within the zine’s server is perfectly fine and encouraged!
Will I be able to post/sell my finished piece?
All contributors will be allowed to post and sell their finished pieces after leftover sales (should we go forward with a physical release).
They may also use finished pieces in their portfolios at any time, as long as the link remains private until after the zine has been released.
My question isn't here, what should I do?
