#TWKZspotlights
starting today, we will be posting spotlights of each artist and writer contributing to the zine! every few days we will share some info about one of the talented contributors, so stick around to see what's in store💙
Here you'll find our F.A.Q. thread. We'll address questions and concerns put into the interest check here. Feel free to direct questions at our Retrospring too if you want to stay anonymous. We'll address them in this thread.
You know, a great man once said: "One good thing about the Blight is how it brings people together".
You know what else brings people together? Zines! Interest check opens June 6!
All emails have been sent! Please check your junk folder if you don't see anything.
Thank you all so much for your interest -- we're so excited!
For those of you who worry about missing an email: we'll reach out to anyone accepted who has not replied by July 11th!
We're sending out acceptances but please be patient because gmail is being really mean about us sending links, lol.
We'll try to get them all to you soon, but it will be from a mod's personal emails. Apologies about that!

Wow! Thanks a ton for over 100 followers! If you haven't filled out the interest check yet, please do -- it really helps us to understand what kind of zine we should be delivering to all of you lovely people!!!

We've made an adjustment to the google form after realizing some wording may have been confusing or deterring people from applying.
To clarify: we'd like three examples from you. Two should be your best/strongest work. One should be related to Alistair, but can be a WIP/sketch.
Psst- our interest check closes in less than a week! We had to move our schedule around a little bit due to a clerical error (😅) so it's been cut a little shorter. Let us know what you think soon!

We know not everything gets completed, so as long as you have 2 pieces to back up a less-done piece, that's super okay! There is also a spot to link a portfolio, so please, don't worry about your Alistair-related piece being less polished. We just want to see how you depict him.
Interest check results are in! Thank you all so much for your participation, it really helped give us the insights we needed.
Look at how many of you are interested in drawing and writing for this zine! That means the world to us!
Apps open on Wednesday June 19th!
The very first thing we'd like to address is Alistair's skin tone, as it was mentioned by a LOT of interested people. (We’re also addressing the ‘pointy ears’ thing here.)

Can Alistair be drawn with a male Warden?
-
The mod team has agreed that that's totally okay! Just keep in mind that the main focus of the zine is not romance, so try to have more than romance on the mind when making your pitches. But that's totally cool with us.
That's all for now! Thanks again to everyone who filled out an IC. If you want to be tagged when we post the applications, and you didn't already give us your username in an interest check, feel free to request that on this thread!!
Will an NSFW version be available in the future?
-
Probably not! Zines are a lot of work and something as niche as what we're doing is already hard enough to recruit for. While we'd love to do that as a mod team, we're just not certain the interest is there. Thanks for asking!
Will you allow unique formats for writing, such as epistolary (letters) and poetry?
-
Yes! We’d love to see it. Just make sure that, come application time, your samples reflect your ability for what you’re pitching.
Will you allow solo pieces for art; character studies for writing?
-
Yes, please, we'd love to see that. As iterated before, we want to see more than just him in love -- we want to see every aspect of his life.
Q: Will there be a centralized place to discuss projects once the zine is in production? (A discord or something like that)
A: Yes - a Discord server, so applicants will need to have, or be willing to make, a Discord account.
