What is a zine?
A zine, or fanzine, is a collection of fanfiction and fanart in the format of a book, similar to that of a magazine — hence the name. Sometimes zines also feature merch options - either physical, digital, or both.What kind of zine is AFTER DARK?
AFTER DARK will be a digital zine formatted as a single PDF. It will feature both artists and writers creating for their chosen AU. The zine will be NSFW/R18 due to it featuring explicit content, and also due to the inherently mature nature of the themes depicted in it.Can pieces for the zine feature any ship?
Yes, any Haikyuu!! pairing is welcome. This includes OT3s/polyships and ‘problematic’ ships. Contributors may also create ‘solo’ content, or works not featuring a romantic/sexual relationship if they wish.What are the content restrictions?
Explicit underage content will not be allowed. All other dark/mature and ‘Dead Dove’ content is welcome and encouraged given that it is appropriately tagged.All works must be in an alternate universe to Haikyuu!! canon, but the choice of AU is up to the individual creator.Can Moderators also contribute to the zine?
Yes. However, they will still go through the same anonymous judging of applications as all other contributors. Depending on application numbers, contributors may also be able to create more than one piece if they can commit to our schedule and internal guidelines.How will Contributors be compensated?
All Contributors will receive a copy of the zine PDF and their split of any potential profits.Can Contributors remain anonymous?
Contributors will still need to communicate on a regular basis with the Mod team, but they can remain anonymous publicly and have their spotlight and credit use a pseudonym if they wish.Communication will be via our Discord server, so if you would like to remain completely anonymous we would recommend you create a new account for this. However, for any potential profit distribution we will still require your email address which will remain confidential within the Mod team.
