    FAQ

    What is the theme of the zine?
    The theme is centered around redhead/ginger anime boys. As long as they have red/orange hair listed on their wikipage then they count! Characters have to be from an anime-adjacent series so characters from video games and webnovels can also be featured.    The zine will not be spoiler free and does not need to follow the canon timeline of the series the character they’re depicting is from.Will it only include boys?
    Yes and no, the zine will be focused on male characters. Nonbinary characters such as the gems from Houseki no Kuni can also be featured.    SPECS
    size: 5.5” x 8.5”
    color profile: CYMK
    The zine is for-profit and will be available both digitally and physically!    Will other characters / ships be featured?
    Other characters and platonic interactions are welcome but the focus of the piece will be on the redhead character.    Who is allowed to apply?
    Anyone 16+ upon applying will be allowed to join. Individuals that are considered a minor (according to your country’s laws) should have the approval of a guardian and can be paid through a guardian's PayPal.    Can we apply to multiple positions?
    Yes, but you will only be accepted for one position.    Will you accept writers?
    No, this zine will be art only.    How many contributors will be accepted?
    As for now we are looking for 1 cover artist, 5 merch artists, and 15 page artists.    How will contributors be compensated?
    We plan on compensating all artists and mods with a full bundle of the physical zine + a digital copy. Any profits after expenses are covered will be split evenly between artists and mods. Contributors will need paypal or access to paypal in order to be compensated.    If profits are not able to fully cover the bundle then contributors will be compensated with a free pdf copy and the option to buy the bundle at production cost. The rest of the profits will then be split evenly between artists and mods.Which redheads will be in the zine?
