Application Guidelines
The writing/art that you display in the application should align with the quality/style of work that you are planning to produce for the zine.This is an NC16 zine. We will not review NSFW samples. If your writing portfolio is Ao3, you may have NSFW on your account as long as it is tagged correctly. Gore is ok.*Works featuring Project Moon characters/universe settings are recommended but not necessary.

Judgement Criteria
Page Artist
・Anatomy, composition, coherency: does the character look correct, is the composition of the piece interesting, and is the content of the piece understandable or visually clear?
・Backgrounds and Environmental Storytelling: an ability to draw full scenes that can tell a story through the setup of characters and their interactions with the environment.
・Character personality: are the characters positioned dynamically/interactively or is it a still image of a front facing character? We hope that character personality can shine through their body language and facial expression.
Merch Artist
Similar to page artist but with additional notes:
・Style will also be evaluated per individual merch type. For example, an artist who is good at making enamel pins must be able to communicate an idea using a limited palette of colors, but doesn’t need to draw backgrounds. Meanwhile, an artist who applies for prints must be able to draw backgrounds, and may not need to be good at using limited color palettes.
・We will evaluate merch artists for all possible merch positions.
Writer
・English grammar, spelling: we will use primarily American English in the zine, but any type of English for applications is ok!
・Worldbuilding, characterization: does the characterization feel realistic and do they interact in ways that make sense? How does the dialogue flow, in relation to the personality of the character?
・Story Flow: since zines have a limited number of pages, it’s important to be able to tell a fulfilling story within a set number of words (1-2k words).
