FAQ

QuestionsAnswers
Will the zine be for profit, charity, free, or something in-between?It is mostly for profit. Our first goal is to make sure all of our contributors are compensated with a contributor package. Then upgrades to the zine and merch. Left over funds will be discussed with all contributors at the end of the project.
Is this zine exclusively a shipping zine?It is heavily a shipping zine between Law and Zoro. There may be some content that is more platonic in nature depending on the contributor. But the main focus is on their relationship. The NSFW add-on will be exclusively shipping content.
Is this AU?There will be a mix of canonverse and AU content.
If apps open, do you have to be fluent in English?In short, no. We do have a team for line/copy editing. However, you will have to be able to communicate/write well enough in English. All samples will need to be in English as well.
Is there a timeline for the second zine?Not yet. It will depend on the mod team’s availability once the first project has concluded.
Will the contributors from the first zine be in the second?We can’t guarantee which contributors will return. Or if they do, what type of content they will be contributing.
Why more than one project?Because we really love LawZo. We also want to be able to bring in other contributors that love LawZo that aren’t in the first zine, and to keep things cost efficient for us and purchasers we have to be conscious of the size and weight of our physical products.
Have the themes for the zines been chosen?For the first zine, we have all agreed that the general theme will be a summer time/vacation vibe. We haven’t picked anything for the second yet.
Will there be an interest check for the second zine?Yes. We will still want to hear any feedback from the community for the second project. Although the interest questions will more than likely be different than our first.
When will applications open for the second zine?Once we have an idea of a timeline for the second project we will make announcements on when they will open. Most likely it will be in the second half of next year.
