FAQ
1. Why 18+ instead of 16+?This is just personal preference; I don't feel comfortable working closely with those under 18 as I [the zine host] am now 21, almost 22. Nothing about the zine will be NSFW, however.2. Will there be a physical release?Unfortunately, no. This will be a purely digital zine. I [zine host] do not have the funds or know-how to do a physical zine.3. Will other Vessels, not just Ghost and Hollow, be allowed?Yes! Vessel OCs will also be allowed to be used :)4. If we are denied the moderator position, can we still apply for the zine regularly?Yes, absolutely!5. Will AUs pertinent to the theme be allowed, or is the zine strictly about the canon Hollow Knight world and story?It will be strictly canon, however you can do pre-fall of Hallownest content or post-game content, which can kinda be considered AUs.6. How tight will the deadlines be?We're still deciding deadlines between us mods, but rest assured you will have many months to work on your piece.7. Will we be given a theme for a page? Like at least a little prompt? And how much time will we have for drawing said piece?Artists of both kinds will decide their prompts, but there will be a base theme of 'siblings', whether that be Ghost and Hornet interacting, Hornet interacting with The Hollow Knight, etc etc. As for deadlines, we are still deciding them, but there will be a good group of months to create your piece at the very least.
