Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a fanzine?
A: A fanzine is a collection of works centred around a specific theme. This zine will feature writing, art, and merch focused on the characters of Genshin Impact and their imagined Pokémon companions.Q: Is this zine for-profit or for-charity?
A: This project will be a for-profit zine, meaning any profits made will be split equally between all mods and contributors once the project comes to a close.Q: Is this zine spoiler-free?
A: This zine will allow themes and characters of Genshin Impact that have been officially revealed by the end of the pitching period, so we cannot guarantee it will be completely spoiler-free.Q: What content will be allowed?
A: This zine will be 100% SFW, with canon-typical levels of violence and gore allowed. The main zine will allow any canon ships to be included; however, non-canon ships will not be permitted. Multiple characters will be permitted to be shown together in a platonic setting. We may allow some ambiguous pitches where the relationship could possibly be considered as more than platonic, provided this fact is not specifically stated and depending on the surrounding content of the pitch.Q: Can I apply for multiple roles?
A: You may apply for multiple contributor roles! However, contributors will only be accepted for one role.Q: What is the age requirement for this zine?
A: All contributors must be 18+ at the time of final payouts of the zine (~October 2025).Q: How will contributors be compensated?
A: Contributors will be entitled to a free digital copy of the zine at minimum. Depending on profit, we also aim to provide up to a free full bundle of the physical zine and merch to all contributors.
In a situation where we are unable to cover the full cost for contributor bundles, we will offer the items to contributors at production cost. Contributors can also choose to forgo any physical compensation if they so please, however this will not increase their monetary compensation.
Any additional profit will be divided, split evenly between contributors and mods.Q: When and how do I apply?
A: Our application period has now ended
