A Fushiguro Megumi-centric zine
FAQ
⁑Will this be for profit or charity?
This is a for profit project.
⁑What exactly will be featured in this zine?
Our theme for the zine is "Day and Night". We are hoping for half the book to focus on Fushiguro in his daily life during "the day" and the other half to focus on Fushiguro as a Sorcerer during "the night". Other characters and interactions will be allowed in the zine, but the main focus of each piece will always be Fushiguro Megumi. Ships must remain platonic and content rating will be within the same range as the original manga.
⁑Who will be able to take part in the project?
We are currently looking to take on 1 mod intern, 1 cover artist, 10-12 page artists, 4 - 5 merch artists, and 4 writers through applications. The mod intern will not be participating in the zine as a contributor as their focus will be on mod duties.
⁑How will contributors be compensated?
All contributors will receive a physical book at minimum with free shipping. As funds allow, all contributors can receive up to a full bundle for free and extra items at production cost. Final monetary compensation will be split evenly among all participants of the zine.
⁑What will happen with my art?
Aside from being used in this project, all rights remain with the artists and can be used as they wish after the project has concluded. During the project, however, we ask that all art involved with the project is not shared without permission.
⁑Where will you be shipping from?
Mod Seasonal Tea, who will be shipping, is based in the USA.
Hi! I'm Keii or Tea and I'm in zine hell. This is my sixth project I'm heading and somewhere over my dozenth project modded in general. I love Megucchi with all my heart and can't wait to dote on him endlessly with this project.

APPS GUIDE
Mod Applications
⁑What mods are you looking for?
We are looking for a Graphics/Formatting mod and one mod intern.
⁑Are there any restrictions?
We would like our mod team to be aged 18+ and focused on modding duties, which means mods will NOT be planned to contribute to the zine.
⁑Experience tagging
When applying, we will not judge anyone for their past project content so long as anything commonly triggering is warned about during the application.
Contributor Applications
⁑What do I need when applying?
For artists, please provide a portfolio of at least 3 completed works. Art of Megumi is not required, but preferred.
For merch artists, please include works that best represent how you would design merchandise for this project based on the options you choose during the application process. Please note we will prefer merch artists to design at least 2 items for the zine.
For writers, please provide 3 samples of writing between 1.5 and 2k words, with one sample being a complete work. At least one sample must include Megumi as an active character.
⁑Will you accept traditional art?
Yes! As long as you can scan and provide your art at 300dpi resolution and in good visual quality, feel free to apply.
⁑What will you be judging?
Artist apps will be judged based on three main components: anatomy, composition, and coherency. Anatomy will not be strictly by the book, but also how fluid and believable one's characters are. Composition will include backgrounds, colors, and spacing in the art. Coherency will be how well we judge everything to fit together as a piece and whether an artist's style will work together with the project as a whole.
Merch artist apps will be judged similarly, but with the frame of reference of how well their art would work in their desired merchandise positions.
Writers will be judged on basic English grammar and spelling conventions (any standard English is acceptable in apps, but the final project will use USA spelling). We will also be checking for general flow of reading and characterization.
⁑Do you have an age restriction for this project?
As this is a fully SFW project, we do not have an age minimum requirement. That said, this is a for profit venture and if a minor wishes to join, we strongly advise for them to have parental permission as we will require a shipping address and/or Paypal for compensation (if compensation is chosen). We will not be vetting minors vs adults and will trust our applicants to approach their online activities with integrity.
⁑⁑What sort of content is acceptable for apps?
We require portfolios/samples remain SFW as that is the type of content of the project itself. Socials/sites are not restricted. Ship content is allowed, but nothing in the project itself will involve explicitly romantic relationships so be sure to show off that you can highlight a single featured character!
