K/DA Charity Fanzine
Hello and welcome to the KDA Charity Fanzine. We are aiming to produce a collaborative digital-only charity zine, due to release during pride month!The zine will focus on relationships, both romantic and platonic, between the members of K/DA. It is a __SFW ONLY zine.__All proceeds from the zine and digital merchandise will be split equally between Point Of Pride and NQTTCN. For physical merchandise, all profits will be split between these charities.__We encourage all kinds of creatives to apply! __
We have our “artist” and “writer” applications, which are fairly self explanatory, but we also have an “other” form, which can encompass anything that you create that doesn’t fall into those categories!For example, if you are a cosplayer, or you’re interested in creating digital merch for the zine (icons, emotes, wallpapers for desktop/phone). Perhaps you make papercraft or other physical fan creations you’d like to photograph and submit, or maybe you’d like to write an interview with K/DA, or a themed recipe!The zine is scheduled to go on sale on the 14th June, 2021, and will be available for purchase on gumroad until the 31st July 2021. After this, the money will be donated to the chosen charities and receipts will be provided both in the discord server and on our public twitter.
Rules
All proceeds of the zine are going to charity, and therefore we are unfortunately unable to offer financial compensation for your submission.There is no age limit for this zine! But please be at least 13 years old if you are making an application, as this is the required age to use twitter/discord etc.Feel free to submit more than one application (ie, fanfic and other, artist and fanfic etc) if you would like to be considered for more than one subject matter, but be aware you will most likely only get picked for one form of submissionGeneral rule: We have a zero tolerance policy for racism, homophobia, transphobia, and other forms of bigotry. If you behave in this way in the server, you will be removed, and if you are a contributor and it is brought to our attention that you are posting this kind of content on your platforms, you will be removed from the zineGeneral rule: The zine, and the server, both follow the same no NSFW rules. If you do not abide by these rules, and repeatedly bring NSFW content into the server, you will be removed from the server and the zine, in the case of a contributor. If you wish to discuss NSFW materials, please do so in private.Deadline rule: Our deadline for completed, ready to go work is May 30th, 2021. Please do not apply if you will not be able to complete your piece by this date. (Of course, you are more than welcome to submit early, and small extensions can be provided circumstantially, but please consider May 30th to be the final deadline.)Deadline rule: You must show evidence of progress on your piece by each due date. If you are unable to, please let us know! Lack of communication about missed deadlines may result in you being removed from the zine.Creator: Creators who are successful with their application will be asked to provide a square icon for our contributor page.Content rule: The standard allocation of pages will be one to an artist/comic, two pages of text to a fanfic writer, and for other, pages will be allocated on a case by case basis. Everyone is more than welcome to pitch for/request extra pages. Required dimensions will be provided upon acceptance into the zine.Content rule: Your work should explore the relationship between two or more of the member s, be it romantic or platonic. You are permitted to have Seraphine featured in your work but she should not be involved in any romantic content with the others whatsoever. Other LoL characters may also be featured, but should not be the focal point of your work.Content rule: PDA (public displays of affection) in your work is absolutely allowed! If you intend to create suggestive content it will need mod approval, but there should be
NO NSFW!Content rule: “Race-bending”, body-type changes, and otherwise original adaptations of the character are encouraged but by no means required. Outfits also fall under this.Content rule: However, please keep them recognisable to the K/DA eras (POP/STARS and ALL OUT, and TRUE DAMAGE, in the case of Akali) rather than any base or non K/DA skins. If in doubt ask!Content rule: Please no character hate. If you dislike a character that’s fine, but don’t let it be reflected in your work.Content rule: We ask that the content you provide for the zine is new work, not something previously created/posted online/sold, and that you please do not post your completed work until the 14th August 2021 at the earliest, as posting sooner may discourage people from buying the zine. However, posting WIPS and small previews on your social media is encouraged and can be done at any time.Content rule: For artists, both digital and traditional work is welcome, but traditional work must be able to be photographed or scanned to a high standard (ie. not blurry/no shadow of camera).Ideally, please have a discord account and be available for check-ins on discord - If there is a reason you are unable to set up/maintain a discord account, please get in touch, as we may be able to accommodate you via emailSubmissions of fanfiction in foreign languages are welcome! But please be prepared to provide a brief summary of the contents to the mods in english so we can be sure that the work meets our guidelines.
