Please submit 2-3 samples that best demonstrate your style of writing.

Each sample should be 1,000-3,000 words. All 3 samples combined should not exceed 6k words.

We will be judging samples based on characterization, grammar, punctuation, flow, and plot.

All samples must be 100% written by you. Previous zine works are allowed. If the zine isn't released yet, please ensure you have permission from your mods to share! We will not be sharing any applicants' links outside of the TSUKUYOMI Mod Team.

Please submit 3-6 samples of finished work that best represent your style & ability.

This project will be printed in Black & White. Please include at LEAST (1) sample of your work that is in black and white or greyscale. This can be with detailed linework like comic/manga or with full render.

We will judge pieces based on composition, color and/or value, understanding of form & depth, and anatomy.

Backgrounds are required, whether they are simple & decorative or environmental. At least one piece in your portfolio must have a detailed background.

If you would like to be considered for making a comic for the zine, please include AT LEAST one example of previous comic work, so we can judge how well you carry a plot, readability, style, and the layout of panels.

Both digital and traditional works are acceptable - however, traditional work must be scanned in high quality.

Please submit 3-6 samples of finished work that best represent your style & ability. A "set" can count as one piece (for example, if you have Iida, Deku, and Uraraka together in a sticker set - you can count that as 1 of your 3-6).

We will judge pieces based on composition, color and/or value, understanding of form & depth, and rendering.

The merchandise for this project will be required to follow a limited palette. This palette is up to the artist, not predetermined by the mods. Merch can also be done in black & white/greyscale. If you have samples of work using a limited palette, it is highly encouraged to include that in your portfolio.

We will consider more unique items during pitches, but if you have the desire to create a certain type of merchandise for the zine (enamel pins, acrylic charms, stickers, etc), it is encouraged to show work examples of those types of merch.

All examples do not need to be merch "items." Full illustrations/prints are encouraged.

Both digital and traditional works are acceptable - however, traditional work must be scanned in high quality.

This project will be for profit. Funds will first be used to fulfill all orders and cover full bundles for each contributor as compensation. Any leftover funds after that will be split evenly among the contributors.

The zine size will be 5.5" width x 8.5" height. Templates will be provided for pages and spreads.

The zine book itself will be black and white. Merchandise will be limited color palette or black and white.

We are looking to create an at least 80-page book.

Consider it a theme - the contrast will suit the subject well, and we hope to encourage very creative linework.

We are looking to have a total of 30 contributors. How this is divided between page artists, writers, and merch artists is yet to be determined and may depend on responses to our interest check.

Yes! Please do include Tokoyami's friends and mentors! If you want to create a "fan family" for him in your fic or illustration, please feel free. We do request that Tokoyami and/or Dark Shadow (yes it can focus on DS himself!) be the main focus of all pieces.

Yes! The Mods have already decided on a few guest contributors and will take more suggestions via Interest Check. We do want to give more spots to applicants versus guests, however.

Everyone will get an email response to the email address provided in their application, regardless of whether they are accepted as a contributor, accepted as a pinch hitter, or rejected from the project.

Check-ins will be done by sharing Google Drive folder links in a google form, which will be provided to contributors at the beginning of each check-in. Please include your credit name in the file names & ensure share settings are set to “view by anyone with the link!”

Please put your name on your files :)

Please :')

Yes! The only restrictions will be due to countries having closed off mail due to COVID-19 or other reasons. We will have a link to double-check if your country is included in these closures in our shop.

Once leftover sales have begun, we will allow contributors to share their work in its entirety on social media. Before then, we request that you only share sneak peeks that show no more than 1/5 - 1/4 of your piece.

We ask that you please wait until the zine is fully wrapped up to offer the work for sale. Once leftover sales are closed, feel free to sell your work anywhere you’d like! Merch artists will receive remaining stock of their items and can feel free to reproduce on their own.

Absolutely! Please feel free to choose just a portion of an existing fic for an application piece. We do ask that you make sure it is cohesive as a stand-alone piece, so we can judge it based on plot/flow/clarity.

(Also please feel free to link to the full version in the doc in case we wanna read the rest for fun :3 But that's not required.)

We're fine with spoilers in applications! You can mark them by putting "spoilers" in the file name, but that isn't necessary.

We ask that page artists include at least one piece that shows a detailed/fully rendered background. The rest may be decorative or simple backgrounds.

We ask that all applicants be at least 18 years or older by February 18, 2023. Minors' applications will be rejected automatically. Thank you for your understanding!

If there is a way you can take just a few scenes from it to fit the 1-2k, then that would be the best route. But if it's a piece you're very proud of and passionate about, it would be best to include it. We wanna see your best work, after all :) Just try to still aim for the total between all pieces to be around 6k.

Please avoid "x reader", if possible! Thank you for understanding!

Your portfolios may include shipping. Please keep all samples SFW.

Please note that the zine itself will have no shipping.
