FAQ
What is a zine?A zine is an unofficial fan project in the form of a booklet with a fairly limited print run. It is a creation that often combines illustrations and texts accompanied by merch around a unifying theme to enjoy.What is this zine about?This zine is a fanmade project focusing on the post-canon life of two pirates: a blond chef and a green marimo. Many of us wonder what Sanji and Zoro will look like when their captain becomes King of the Pirates: their dreams within reach or already behind them. Let us explore their daily lives as wrinkles, hair and beards develop.Will the zine be digital or physical?
For-profit or charity?We would like to offer the zine both digitally and physically, including eventual physical merch.
This zine will be for-charity! The chosen organization will focus on helping LGBTQIA+ people in this harsh world and will be announced later.Will contributors be compensated?Everyone involved in the creation of the zine will receive a free digital version with any potential digital thingies that are made. Depending on fundraising, all contributors and mods will be granted a free physical bundle or will have the option to get one at the production cost!How old do contributors and mods need to be?Everyone who wants to be involved in this zine must be 18+ by the end of the application period.What dynamics are accepted?
Are cameos allowed?This zine is supposed to be a safe place for any dynamic between Zoro & Sanji. If the main representation expected is romantically, any other representation around them both can be included. You can draw or write our dear pirates with any sexual, romantical or identity gender as long as it remains SFW in the BASE zine and non-toxic. Any NSFW is allowed ONLY in the NSFW add-on.To be clear, the ZoSan, the SanZo and the ZoSanZo are ALL accepted and welcomed!Regarding any other characters, if they are not the main focus in your creation, you can definitely include them. Just make sure that Zoro & Sanji stay our main characters.Also, to keep the zine accessible, we sadly won’t allow OCs… Thank you for your comprehension on the matter!Will there be nsfw content?There won’t be any NSFW content in the BASE zine as we want it to be accessible as much as possible. That being said, artistic representations of nudity will be allowed (with no intent to abuse this exception).However, there might be a NSFW add-on for anyone wanting some spice, depending the interest check's results!Is it spoiler-free?Sadly no, because we want to let people interpret any content of the manga to create as many post-canon thingies they can.Will the zine be canon or non-canon/AU?This zine will be mainly canonical but any non-canonical event helping the creation of your piece is allowed as long as it takes place in the original world of One Piece without too many changes.Example: If Sanji wearing one of Zoro’s earrings is NOT canon, it can be included because it doesn’t change the original OP rules.If you have any question regarding what is allowed or not, please, feel free to contact any mod about it!
