If I don't have any published BSD fanworks specifically, can I still apply using other fandom works in my portfolio? (My BSD fanfics are either wips or old & removed/orphaned)
Yes, this is totally allowed! We want to see your creative style and direction by any means necessary. Just be sure in the application to tag any sensitive content within your selected works!
can a page artist also apply as a merch artist?
As stated in our carrd, we would prefer that each applicant apply for one role as you will be accepted for only one role. If, by acceptance, we are lacking in a role, then we will be considering Page Artists who are also interested in being Merch Artists at the same time (doing a project for each role).
hi!! if my summary idea focuses on two PM characters equally, can i submit the same summary twice under different characters or should i just keep it as one pitch? thanks a lot!
As long as you are able to commit to focusing on whichever character you are specifically assigned to in acceptance in your piece (if accepted), you may do so at your discretion! However, please be aware that doing so without any additional back-up options for your character selections is not reccommended! Thank you for your question!
So I was looking at the application for writers and the section for a portfolio. I only have one published fanfiction on ao3 and a few thread fics on twitter so am I excluded or can I still apply? Is that too little published items?
Yes, your threadfics count as writing material for your portfolio! Here are a couple of options:
In the "link" section for the portfolio, place the link to all of your threadfics in one place (the first "tweet" in a thread of your threadfics) for us to look through
Create a free carrd that links individually to each threadfic in one place using their buttons and labels!
As a last resort, you could also convert your threadfics into ao3 works and post them on the site and give us your ao3 link overall to look at.
Thank you for your question!
will ships be a part of the zine? i personally wouldn’t want to make ship content but it would be okay if others wanted to as long as it’s legal lol
Ship content is allowed as part of our zine. As stated in our carrd, if several same-pairing ships are submitted in pitches, we may be asking some contributors to fall back on their secondary option. As also stated in our carrd, the content strictly forbidden from being depicted in our zine is as follows (for both international and personal reasons): -Loli/Shota Content -Work depicting minor/adult sexual and/or romantic relationships. -Work explicitly depicting non-consensual sexual themes. -Current real-world mass tragedies.
Thank you for your question!
how do you apply for a mod position
We were just about to announce this -- so many people offered to help through the interest check that every moderator position is spoken for already! We will be heading straight into contributor applications in mid-December, so please stay tuned! Thank you for your interest!
hello! i saw that you are both anti-harassment and also have some subjects you won't be allowing in this zine. if someone has created content of the banned subjects in the past, will that be a problem, or fall under anti-harrassment so long as the content is kept out of the zine?
As long as the aforementioned content is not created for the zine, we will be allowing the creator to apply for the zine! They will also fall under the anti-harrassment clause: other creators may leave the project if they are uncomfortable, but any bullying on any side will be zero-tolerance and will result in anyone creating a toxic environment to leave the program. Thank you so much for your question!
