Hello! Can I double check if the zine can be shipped to Belarus? Bigcartel has an option, but I had trouble in the past with getting a zine, so I'm worried. Thank you!
Hi! Unfortunately, we cannot ship to Belarus at this time! If you would like to DM us on twt or email [email protected], we would be happy to try and figure out a way to get the zine to you!

hello! if the contributors apps have been extended, when will the results come out?
Hello! We will be updating our carrd shortly. Thank you for your question!

why is the application time extended?
Thank you for your question! We realized that our application period of 3 weeks might have been a bit short, on top of the fact that it is a super busy time of year, so people may not have had enough time to prepare their portfolio. Furthermore, for a lot of people, the upcoming week is spring break, so we were hoping that we could give more time to all interested applicants!

Is a dark kind of content allowed in the zine or are you only looking for more wholesome stuff? I like Dottore but I can't think of not-dark ideas for pieces involving him without him being ooc
Hello! Thank you for your question. Dark content is allowed as long as there is no dead dove or MCD!

will all contribs get a chance to participate in the nsfw zine? including merch artists if they wanna do nsfw page artwork??
Tentatively, for artists, yes! We do plan to make a physical nsfw zine, so we may be slightly limited in page count, but all merch and page artists will be offered the opportunity to work in the nsfw zine should they so desire. Writers will be accepted to the SFW zine, the NSFW zine, or both, depending on what they indicated in their application. Thank you for your question!

If a contributor wanted to use the visual theme of the zine in their illustration, would any of the mods be able to provide feedback on whether the contributor's reference images for clothes/architecture/imagery etc are historically or culturally accurate?
Hello! Thank you so much for your ask. Yes, our graphics mod is very knowledgeable about Middle Eastern & South Asian history and would be more than happy to help contributors develop their concept as accurately as possible, should they require any support! Thanks again for your question, and for your cultural consideration & awareness! <3

hiii, I just wanted to know if doing an Unrequited au will be counted for a ship or not? and do you guys have any restrictions for the type of content or pieces that you'll be allowing thank you
Thank you for your question! We will be allowing unrequited love and angst in stories as long as the story has requited love and a happy ending by the end, as this is a zine to celebrate queer/MLM joy and love. As for content restrictions, will not be allowing MCD or any dead dove content.
