FAQ

Is this a for profit zine?
We are a P4P (pay-for-production) zine, meaning that there will be no profit made, and that the cost of puchase is to cover the production and shipping costs of the zine and merch. People buying the physical zine and merch, are buying the items at wholesale cost, with no profit being made.


How will contributors be compensated for participating?
All contributors will at the very least receive a physical copy of the zine, but we would really like for them to also receive a full merchandise bundle and free shipping. Due to this being a P4P zine and no profit being made, we will be adding a percentage of this cost to the final price of the bundles per order! More information on this will be available at the time of perorder


Can contributors apply for more than one position?
Yes, but most likely you will only get assigned one position


What is the rating for the zine?
Our physical zine, Autumn with U will be rated T due to it being SFW. But our digital zine will come with a R18+ NSFW that will be available as an add on in a separate file.


How many contributors are you looking for?
We are looking for 30-36 artists, 6-9 writers, and 3 merch artists. All of which are inclusive of guests


Can artists also participate as merch artists?
yes, however they have to apply to both applications (page & merch) and it will be up to the moderator team’s discretion whether to accept them for both roles


What do artists have to draw?
Artists can choose to draw spread, illustration or comic


How many pieces of art will artists be expected to create?
Each zine artist is responsible for one artwork


What do writers have to write?
Writers will be given a hard word-count limit of 3.5K, we allow AUs and it can be any ship as long as it’s from MXTX’s works.


What is the workload for merch artists?
Merch artists are expected to come up with 2-3 merch offerings


Will you be shipping internationally? What will the cost be?
International shipping will be available, but we cannot guarantee rates until closer to time for preorders.


Will the zine be available as a digital copy as well?
Due to the zine being a P4P, and no profits are being made to respect the author, we will not be selling individual digital copies for sale- Instead all physical sales will include a free digital copy of the zine
