Frequently Asked Questions
When are mod apps opening?
Right now we are looking for a graphic design and formatting mod, and we will be getting out that app by the end of the week! You can always check our information posted in our profile (and coming soon in our carrd!)
Are you planning on just doing the physical merch and the book digital?
As of now, we are planning on offering a printed copy of the book as well as a digital option. We are still gathering data and will make a decision about bundles at a later time!
Are there any other forms to fill out to apply as an artist?
We will open contributor applications at the beginning of August! In a few days, we will also open moderator applications so keep your eyes open for that announcement!
Are you planning on just doing the physical merch and the book will be digital?
We are planning on having options for a physical copy of the zine as well as physical and digital merch options including a PDF of the book. More details to come about bundles!
Is there an age limit for the people who can participate?
The minimum age we will accept for a contributor is 16 years old.
Is it possible to have just the merch and digital zine?
Depending on interest checks we are planning on offering a bundle of just merch and a PDF of the zine as well. More details about bundles to come!
Since they're pros will there be ship kids or just hero stuff?
The zine primarily focuses on the pair as heroes together and the adult relationship they share. The mods are not opposed to adding content for future kids, but it is not a priority. If people are interested in this content, we may produce some additional content to sate that desire.
Can I be an artist AND a writer? Or do I have to pick only one?
You are of course welcome to apply as a writer and as an artist! Although we can not guarantee that if we ask you to be a writer you will also be asked to create art for the zine and vice versa.
Do contributor applicants have to have previous zine experience?
Not at all! We want people who are passionate about Izuocha! As well as someone who has talent and is dedicated to making this project the best it can be!
Are you going to have any guest artists or writers? Or will they all be determined by apps?
We have a few guest artists and writers in mind and have reached out to a couple already! Keep your eyes open for announcements regarding that in the near future!
What are the bundles and prices gonna be like?
We are looking at four bundles, a digital-only zine, a printed zine, a merch only bundle, and a full bundle. All bundles will have the option of adding on a digital copy of the zine, as well as our special, not yet announced add-on!
We are still ironing out details, but we will be sure to announce pricing and bundles soon!
What types of merch will be available?
We have two gorgeous prints, two sticker sheets, a charm, two buttons, and four wonderful stretch goals that will be announced later!
What is this add-on?
It is a fun zany project we have been working on behind the scenes! Keep your eyes and ears open for more information closer to pre-orders opening!
