What is a zine?
A zine, short for ‘magazine’, is a collection of fan-made art and writing, put into a PDF and/or book format. It is a group project compiling different pieces from all of its contributors. They are commonly on limited print sales and can come with various merch items as well.
Is this handbook for-profit or non-profit?
This handbook will be a for-profit physical zine! All travelers who are involved in the making of this handbook will be compensated, should the zine break even.
What will the compensation look like?
All travelers (contributors and mods alike) are guaranteed a pdf copy of our zine. We aim to be able to fund a free physical zine for all contributors, with the hopes of upgrading to a free full bundle. Any excess profit will be split evenly between contributors and mods.
Will ships be allowed?
As our zine is focused on theorycrafting, there will be no ships involved.
How many artists will be accepted into the zine?
We are looking to accept ~30 page artists to travel with us.
How many merch artists will be included?
We’re looking for ~5 travelers to help with our merchandise.
What type of merch will be in the zine?
As of now, we are awaiting interest check results before determining our final merch lineup.
