FAQ

What would the zine be about?

This has already been posted on this blog in other words, but the zine is following the after affects of canon events as well as post-canon. For example, the effects of Tartarus, or maybe what they do after everything is over and they're away from war. There's flexibility in which events you can choose!

How often will I be expected to write? What will the schedule be for providing new material? I am willing to write but I am curious about if there is a certain schedule (twice a week, once a day, etc). Let me know!

There will be a schedule, but it will be a series of check-ins every few days, with one end deadline. This can be flexible if creators need more time. As a fandom writer myself, I understand how sometimes you just don't have the headspace and/or spoons to create, so it's pretty flexible. I'll be posting the schedule a little closer to opening applications.

What exactly is a zine? Sorry, I should know this but I forgot. Also, does this involve like a ship or something? Sorry again, I should know this.

Firstly, it's okay! No need to apologise, the questions box was there for a reason, it's okay to not know! A zine is like a mini magazine. They're popular in fandoms and often at least follow a theme or topic. Usually these involve fic and art, and this zine will hopefully pair art and writing. As for ships, we've stated this in a post on this blog, so you should be able to find that easily, the post isn't buried yet.

What is this. Saw it on my dash and went "why tf not!" Anyways I have 507 possum pictures and no will to live let's go!

This is a zine, so a mini magazine, that will follow the after effects of events in the series plus post-canon. It'll bring fic and art together in a pdf that you can keep digital or print yourself! Also, possums are babey that is so valid and a mood

Is this zine ONLY for ships/romantic pairings? Or can we portray platonic/sibling relationships too? I ask bc Nico and Hazel are my favourites and if I can I'd like to draw something with them, just as siblings obviously.

Thank you for asking, I should have clarified, but this isn't ship exclusive! The ship guidelines are there just to say which ships are in this zine, but not all content has to be ship centric! I've already got my own contribution planned and it certainly isn't a ship centric piece! We'd absolutely love to see the underworld siblings!

Will we (artists/writers) pick freely the subjects of what we'll do/will there be like, a range of things to pick from or being assigned?

It's a little complicated, but we're hoping, if the writer/artist applications balance enough, or enough artists are willimg to comtribute more than one piece, to hopefully pair fic with art! If this happens, writers will put out a synopsis of their fic, then artists will be able to claim which fic to work with! If this doesn't happen, then it's completely free reign as long as it fits the topic/guidelines of the zine. We're hoping to find a balance where all fics have art, but fic writers and artists can also choose to contribute individual pieces if they do not find a fic that matches what they want to draw. We wouldn't want it to happen where some fics had art and others were left out, so we're waiting on the interest form to figure out the numbers. But we aren't setting out solid "you must pick from x topics", just guidelines.

Any particular timeline?

There will be a timeline! This will be released a little closer to when applications open, which will be July! Hopefully the schedule will be posted within the next two weeks! The timeline isn't going to be too harsh and there's flexibility if you can't make the final deadline!

Um can I be a beta I can't write but I love editing um yeah

Of course you can! That's why we have the option to be a beta on the zine! We understand that not everybody is able to create, but would still like to contribute, and betas are always welcome! There's a chance you may beta for more than one fic!

Does the art have to be digital?

Nope! Not everybody has the money to afford a drawing tablet, you can draw on paper! We only ask that if you do, the picture you take of it is clear. Also writers, please be aware that artists do not have to have a high level of skill to apply, so please be kind to your artists if we are able to pair art with fics.

Is co-writing allowed?

It is 100% allowed and encouraged, collabs are valid af

Is it strictly pjo/hoo or is toa allowed?

Toa content is definitely allowed! Any riordanverse books are, as this zine is canon and post-canon, so you can pick any point in the timeline!

Is it alright for folks who haven't read TOA?

Of course, content can be from any point in the timeline, so no worries!

Does this include hoo characters?

It includes all riordanverse characters so yes it does!

What would the word count be?

Most likely, a very rough guideline of around 1000-5000 words, with flexibility!
