Q: If this is a writing-centric zine, will you be accepting artists?
Yes! We will be bringing artists on board to bring these fics to life! Artist apps will after writers have gotten ample time to start working on their fics. We want to avoid causing Artist issues such as being forced to scrap work if a writer drops out or having to start super late if a writer hasn’t begun to write yet.

Contributors will receive a free PDF copy of the zine. If funds permit, contributors will also receive a free physical copy along with any merch created. If funds do not permit, contributors will be able to purchase a physical copy at production price.

Q: Are ships allowed/can we include other characters in the fic besides Bakugou?
Ships will not be permitted since the focus should be on Bakugou and themes will be more gen than romantic. However, friendships and brotps are fine.

Q: Will the zine include spoilers?
There is a possibility that this zine may contain spoilers. We will do our best to tag any spoilers at the start of each fic. We know there are anime-only fans and we don’t want to spoil anything for you guys!
