How do I know if my idea is "problematic enough?"
While we are definitely not looking for "shock porn", the content we are looking to include in this zine must qualify as dead dove. We understand that where this line is drawn varies from person to person, so we encourage you to contact us for clarification. Please keep in mind that the only hard limit is underage for publishing reasons, but we want to be able to showcase works that would not make it into a "regular" zine.
Can I participate and remain anonymous?All contributors will be invited to the Zine discord server but you may remain anonymous and communicate with mods through email.Please be aware that while any major polls/decisions will always be sent out thru emails as well, the discussion of such decisions with participants will happen on the discord.To be fully involved, please join the Zine Server
Do my horny Twitter threads count as published work?No, it does not fully showcase your writing ability due to the Twitter character limit.
My dead dove fic ends with a happy ending / is only in one section of my story. Can I submit that?Yes, but we ask that the section be explicit. We are looking for your ability to create dead dove content; we cannot judge a quickly referenced noncon scene.
Does my art need to be colored?No but we ask for completed works. We understand this may vary between different art styles but we ask for no rough sketches.
Wait! So if I have a published Fic / Art that is dead dove… am I technically allowed to send just one piece?Correct, however we’d like to see more work from you. You are allowed to send in additional pieces for a maximum of 3 per role you apply to. As long as the above criteria is met, these additional pieces may be SFW/ Vanilla pieces.
I want to apply for both the writer role and the artist role. Do I need to have a DEAD DOVE piece for both art and writing?No. You only need to submit 1 piece of dead dove content, be it art or fic.
I want to apply for both the writer role and the artist role. Do I need to have a PUBLISHED piece for both art and writing?Yes, you will need to submit published works for both art and fics.
