FAQ

“I have a question about my order!”
Please reach out to us ASAP at [email protected] and we will be able to help you there!“What is a zine?”
A zine (short for magazine) is an unofficial project by independent creators, centered around a particular theme. Zines are usually passion projects, celebrating its topic- which in fandom, tends to be a character, ship, or story- by compiling it into a magazine format.
In our case, our zine will contain art, writing, and accompanying merch!“Will this zine have spoilers?”
Yes! The contents of the zine itself will contain spoilers for all of Persona 3, from events from before the story until its end.“Will this zine be SFW?”
Yes, our zine is strictly SFW-only. That being said, you can expect levels of violence, gore, and profanity, to the extent they’re seen in canon, to be featured in the content of the zine.“Will the zine be physical or digital?”
Our zine will include a physical book and physical merch.“Where will the zine be shipped from?”
All physical orders will be shipped from the southeastern United States.“Will this zine contain shipping?”
No. Any romantic/ship content featuring Shinjiro, or suggested between other background characters, will be disallowed.“How old do you have to be to apply?”
Contributors must be at least 16 by the time contributor acceptance emails go out!“How many contributors will be accepted?”
We are looking to accept about 25 page artists, 5 writers, and 6 merch artists!“How will contributors be compensated?”
All contributors will be provided with a free full digital bundle at minimum. Our goal is to provide each contributor with a free full bundle with shipping covered, should we break even in sales!“Can I apply for multiple contributor roles?”
Yes, but you will only be accepted for one of your applied roles.Questions from here on are related to Persona 3’s story, and may include implied spoilers!“Which protagonist will be featured in the zine?”
Contributors will be allowed to feature whichever protagonist they’d prefer in their own pieces; pieces exploring both Shinjiro’s social link in Portable, as well as his link episodes in Reload, will both be permitted in contributor pitches (but will not be a primary focus).“What parts of the story will the zine feature?”
All mentions of Shinjiro’s story in canon will be included within the zine. This will range from his time at the orphanage to the very end of Persona 3. We will not be including spin offs or sequels (PQ, PQ2, P3D, or P4A future aus).“Which route of his story will be featured in the zine?”
For the sake of consistency, we will be following his story as it's depicted in the original P3/FES/Reload. While the female protagonist herself will be allowed to be included in the zine, we will not be including the alternate route for Shinjiro that comes with her story.
We will not be treating one route to be definitively “canon” over the other, and our decision not to follow Portable’s alternate route for Shinjiro is not meant to be an indication of this.“Are AUs allowed?”
Because of the zine’s canon-based theme, we will not be allowing AUs for the zine. We are defining AUs as anything that alters the canonical sequence of events, goes beyond canon, etc. However, events of Shinjiro’s life that we have little to go off of in canon (the orphanage, his time at Gekkoukan, his time after leaving SEES) are still very welcome- depictions of these events will be brainstormed by contributors!
