Do I need to have any experience?
This project is for fun so experience can be minimal. There is a chance of not being accepted based on not following application rules, or too many applicants. In such a case I will prioritize applicants who have a finished body of work and an ability to meet deadlines.Are there any maximum page
limits?
It will depend on number of contributors and how many pages people are thinking to contribute. Mainly would like to avoid a physical copy that is too thick. Different workarounds can be discussed.Do you have experience as a mod?
This being a free project means that you do not need to trust me with your money. However, I have modded one zine before as a co-mod. I also have experience in getting works printed and running an online store.Will there be other merch?
No. Art focus should be on stories.How will communication be done?
There will be emails and a discord server. Discord is not mandatory but it will probably be a good place to receive feedback.
