FAQs

What is a fanzine?
A fanzine (often shorted to zine) is an unofficial collection of illustrations and written works compiled into book form and often accompanied by physical (sometimes digital) merchandise.What are the specs for the zine?
Physical with digital options available including both physical and digital merchandise. All profits after production will go to support our charity TBD.What compensation will the contributors receive?
Contributors will be guaranteed to have a complete digital bundle for free and be able to purchase copies of the fanzine and merchandise at manufacturer price.However, depending on the fanzine's sales, free fanzine copies and free bundles are possible. Contributors will be kept up to date regarding this within the server.Are you going to ship internationally?
Yes! Barring any real world restrictions out of our control, we are willing to ship worldwide. The shipping mods are based in the USA.Will characters/Eras be assigned?
Assignments of Diamonds and Eras will be given based on accepted applicant's preferences to avoid overlap or lack of apperances for any Diamond. Additional characters, such as Spinel, the Pearls, etc. will not be assigned.What content is allowed?
Our zine will be reflective of canon/fanon-within-reason content split up by the Eras of Gemkind's history. Our focus will be on the Diamonds within those Eras, their roles within the Authority (and after it), their relationships with each other and other gems, and so on.While our focus will be the Diamonds themselves (White, Yellow, Blue, Pink, and Steven), other canon characters are more than welcome, especially ones related to the Diamonds (such as Spinel), and fanon/OCs will be judged on a case-by-case basis.Will there be shipping of the characters?
This is a SFW gen zine, therefore shipping and romance is not the focus of our project. Light romantic implications may be allowed on a case-by-case basis, but mods ultimately have final say and may request a piece be adjusted if it veers too far from the spirit of the zine.Please be prepared to keep your submissions centered on the platonic and familial bonds Steven Universe is known for!

Zine Guidelines

1. All mods and contributors are expected to be polite, respectful, and kind towards one another. Treat others how you wish to be treated.2. Anyone engaging in bigoted behavior, whether it be a mod or contributor, in the server or on socials, will be immediately removed from the project and any/all work thrown out. This includes, but is not limited to: homophobia, transphobia, biphobia, lesbophobia, sexism, racism, anti-Semitism, ableism, etc.3. Please refrain from bashing, hating on, or otherwise being negative about characters or the show within the server and submissions. Personal opinions are fine as well as healthy debate/discussion, but the Mod Team wishes to avoid any unnecessary drama or discourse.4. Contributors must show evidence of progress on assigned work by each check-in. If a contributor is unable to, or needs an extension, please contact a mod as soon as possible. Lack of communication about missed deadlines will result in contributors being removed from the project.5. Contributors should remain as faithful as possible to the original designs of the characters within reason of art styles.6. Contributors are prohibited from sharing the full scope of their work until after all bundles and fanzines have been shipped out. Thumbnails and cropped previews, however, are allowed, and even encouraged.7. ALL submissions are to be done for this project exclusively, nothing previously shared on social media, posted publicly, used as a print/merchandise at cons, etc.8. All contributors retain the rights to their work and will be allowed to sell for profit after the fanzine's production has completely wrapped up. The Mod Team do not claim any rights over the work within the fanzine outside the scope of said fanzine.9. Rules will be added and updated as necessary.
