What constitutes a "Rare Pair?"
_{Any pairing with less than 300 fics on Ao3 using otp:true at the time creation begins. We will also be excluding ships that have successfully had a physical zine dedicated to the ship (digital zines will not be excluded).}

.🍂 ݁˖

Do you have guidelines?
_{Yes, you can read our guidelines here. Please go through the linked document for more information on our application and content guidelines!}

.🍂 ݁˖

Is this zine “Pro-ship?"
_{Yes. Restrictions will be minimal. This zine strictly does not allow minor-adult ships and/or non-con (rape). But other “problematic” dynamics will be allowed. All restrictions will be clearly outlined in our guidelines document.}

.🍂 ݁˖

Will contributors be compensated?
_{As this zine will be a free digital download, there will be no compensation available. Everyone will have access to the completed zine.}

.🍂 ݁˖

Are AUs going to be included?
_{The zine will be accepting pitches that are AU within the bounds of Teyvat. The zine will not be accepting pitches which are setting-divergent / take place outside of Teyvat.For example; Modern AU, Idol AU, and Space AUs would not be permitted. Alternate Vision AU, Akademiya AU, Traveler Never Arrived AU, would be permitted.}

.🍂 ݁˖

Do poly ships with two people who are commonly shipped together but not with the third count?
_{Because the dynamics within a polyship differ significantly from two-person pairings, polyships can be pitched regardless of whether the individual members are often paired together, with some caveats:Polyships should ideally have less then 300 works on Ao3 without otp:true turned on. Preference will be given to those pairings that fall under this qualification, but because they are so uncommon, feel free to pitch any polyship! We consider polyships to be independent from their two-person pairing counterparts, so we'll be looking for pitches that treat the depiction of a polycule fairly.Pitches will be chosen with a mind towards featuring a good balance of characters within the zine. With that said, pitches will not be chosen with a prejudice against polyships. They are very welcome here!}

.🍂 ݁˖

Are diverse skin tones and body types allowed?
_{Yes. Artists (and authors) may portray characters with more diverse skin tones, body types, and general appearances than they possess in canon. This includes gender diverse representation. Characters should still be immediately recognizable and identifiable.}

.🍂 ݁˖

Since most of the characters don't have canon ages I think it's important to clarify who you classify as "Teenagers". The child model is an easy distinction but the teenager aspect is HIGHLY open to interpretation for all the medium models especially in characters like lyney, Lynette, Freminet, Sucrose, Gaming, etc. Also perhaps some clarification on if the same rules would apply to an AU where the characters are portrayed as the same age.
_{Outside of Klee, Qiqi, and Yaoyao, we are not classifying characters' ages. We leave that up to individual creators. All creators are responsible for only portraying characters who they view within the same age bracket [teen or adult] engaging in sex.We don't intend to police people's personal headcanons. Therefore, if one creator wants to portray Razor and Fischl as teens, they are welcome to do so. If another creator wants to portray Fischl and Mona as adults, they are free to do so. Each creator will be individually responsible for portraying their ships in a way that is appropriate.AUs or future-fics where characters are aged up are also allowed.}

.🍂 ݁˖

I have other questions!
_{Please feel free to DM us on our Bluesky or email our head mod via email.}
