But other than that, we’re open to anyone! No previous zine experience is required.Will the zine be digital or physical? We have determined the zine will be a physical zine, with physical merch! it will also have a digital PDF version and possible digital merch as well.is the zine for profit/charity? the zine will be for profit.What films will be featured? all ghibli movies will be allowed! the frequency of a specific film featured in the zine will depend on the results of the interest check.Is this project SFW? Yes, the zine will be SFW-only. No NSFW content or add-on NSFW content will be available.

How will contributors be compensated? All contributors will be guaranteed at least the digital version of the zine. should profits allow, the goal is to compensate contributors with the zine book and any physical merch, with shipping being covered. However, as this is dependent on sales, any physical items and shipping compensation is not guaranteed.Will AUs/crossovers be allowed? We're aiming to explore the movie settings and characters as they appear in the films! We will allow crossovers between films though, as well as allowing contributors to explore pre/post canon ideas.Will there be ships? Ships will be allowed, however, they will only be ones that are strongly implied through the films. (ie. Sophie/Howl, etc.) We will make sure that there won't an abundance of ship content so people can enjoy the platonic relationships as well!
