FAQ

What is a Zine?

Zines are independently printed publications usually made by a group of people.
They come in many forms, from a single folded piece of paper to fandom zines with hundreds of pages and high production value. Zines have a long history as protest art and niche subculture expression!
Many of these zines these days are a collaboration and celebration of art and creations of a specific topic or fandom!

Hi! My name is Tommy! I go by he/they and I am the creator of this zine!The Amazing Digital Circus has been such a huge impact on my life and I want to create something that not only celebrates what I love about the show, but what the community loves about the show. As well, feel good knowing their money is going towards a fun project and a good cause!This is my second time organizing and running a zine and my first time putting together a charity zine! I plan to take the time to make sure it is ran smoothly and with care! As well, I hope this is a chance for me and others to connect for the mutual love and appreciation for not only just the show, but the cast and crew as well!


Ghost

Hi, my name is Ghost and I am the co-creator of this zine! Any pronouns are fine for me :)The Amazing Digital Circus has a combination of my interests and I love the unique story and characters. This is the first zine I've taken part in! The community has provided nothing but wonderful art and I want to be able to see a mix of styles all together for something we all love so much :)

Guidelines and Rules

- You MUST be 18+ to apply to the zine, once again this is for reasonings of paypal and other money related things for projects.We know that TADC is 13+, but for the comfort and smoothness of the zine, it must stay 18+! We hope you will at least follow the project regardless and we appreciate any younger fans support!- but this also means, NO PROFIC/PROSHIP ALLOWED. Period. No exceptions and no discussions. This is for the comfortability of everyone in the zine. If you have a problem with this then this zine and it's creator's may not be for you.- NO AI ART. NO IF, ANDS, OR BUTS. NOT EVEN A REFERENCE OF AI ART. If you are found out to be using AI art or referencing it in any way shape or form, you will be removed from the project immediately.- That being said, referencing real life images and art references made as tools is alright!- you MUST have discord, this is how we will communicate throughout the project! Discord is also available on desktop/website.- Mods do not get to create a piece, but will be credited and included in helping and events of the project; as well, receive the zine.- WHEN SENDING IN SAMPLES OF YOUR ART/WRITING IN THE APPLICATIONS please make sure they are public/shared so the mods can access the pieces! If we cannot access the pieces or writing, we will be unable to consider you for the zine.- When applying, please show at one or two pieces with at least simple to detailed backgrounds and/or fully finished pieces! If you have done merch before and are interested, we also would love to see that as well! DO NOT SEND NSFW IN YOUR APPLICATION.
However, artistic nudity is allowed.
- Writers when applying, please link us to at least two of your best works minimum. They can either be TADC related or not. We will be going off of grammar, writing flow, composition, and character. DO N O T SEND NSFW OR LEMON WRITING IN YOUR APPLICATION- WE WILL HAVE BACKFILL SLOTS! Backfill slots are needed if any artists dropout or leave the project in which we will message an artist who has listened themselves as a backfill artist and asked at anytime to join the project to help fill in!- We are located and WILL be shipping from the US. But this means, we cannot guarantee entry and/or physical delivery of the zine from countries who have banned discord or any sort of shipping to the country. We will do our very best to accommodate and figure things out for our artists and audiences who are in these locations and understand your frustrations with you. Connecting to communities should be for everyone wherever in the world and we sympathize with you. :(- if accepted into the zine, whether it be as a mod, artist, writer, or merch artist, you are understanding that there is check-ins that are required for the zine to move forward on schedule. Failure to communicate any delays, emergencies, or setbacks may result in removal from the zine.- This zine will be ran a little more differently than a typical one. Ghost and I will be holding mini events on either the zine discord server and/or on social media sites. These events are optional and not required, although, we would love if you joined in and collaborated for the timeline of the zine since it is a long one and we would love to make it a memorable one with small hangouts, art streams, aggies/collaborations, and games!
The more eyes, word, and community spread based on the zine, the more we will be able to donate !
THESE WILL BE UPDATED AS THE PROJECT PROGRESSES
