Is this zine for charity or for profit?

IidaTenBros Volume 2 will be a for-profit project.

How will contributors be compensated for their work?

We will budget for all contributors to receive a full physical bundle + free shipping. Reaching this goal depends upon zine sales. If sales goals are not met, contributors will be able to purchase zine books or merchandise at production cost.If sales do well, any profit left after customer orders and contributor bundles will be split evenly among the contributors & mod team.

What size with the zine be?

The book will be Digest size – 5.5” x 8.5” vertical.

Will templates be provided?

Yes! We have single page & spread templates as well as templates for merch items.

What is the theme of this project?

The theme for IidaTenBros Volume 2 is "Pro Hero Tenya." It will have more of a focus on Tenya than Volume one, but we will be encouraging lots of Tensei as well :D

Can we draw other characters too?

All pieces must include Tenya, but he can absolutely be surrounded by friends & family (or villains!).

Is shipping allowed?

Not for this project! Please keep everything ship-free, including side ships & subtlety. Thank you for your understanding

What timezone is the project using?

Central Time Zone (USA) • GMT-6

Will there be guest contributors?

Yes! Guest contributors will be decided both by mod suggestion & suggestions from the Interest Check. Mods will cast a vote and then reach out to invite guests to the project.

When will applications open? Who can apply?
Can we apply for more than one position?

Applications dates are TBDWe are looking for applicants for fanfiction writers, page artists, and merch artists. We encourage you to apply for any position you’d like to be chosen for – however, only one position will be assigned per applicant.

Will you email applicants regardless of acceptance?

Yes, of course! Noone likes being left in the dark. We will send out emails to all applicants regardless of being accepted, chosen as pinch-hitter, or rejected. We will announce on our socials when emails go out, so please check your spam folders if you don’t see yours soon afterward! Sometimes emails need to be sent in batches.

How many pieces of art will page artists be expected to create?
Merch artists? Cosplayers?

Page artists will be expected to create at least one page of artwork.
Merch artists will be responsible for at minimum one piece of merchandise.
Cosplayers will be expected to produce at least one page.If you would potentially like to do more than one piece, you may discuss with the Head Mods during the pitch period.

What is the minimum and maximum word count for writers?

The word count expectation is 2,500 - 3,500 words.

How will we submit files for check-in and final submission?

Check-ins will be done by uploading files into a google form, which will be provided to contributors at the beginning of each check-in. Please include your credit name in the file names & ensure share settings are set to “view by anyone with the link!”
Please put your names on your files.
Please :)

Will there be an international store / will you ship internationally?

Yes! We will ship to any country with its postal borders open – including the UK & Germany.

When can I share my work on social media?

Once leftover sales have begun, we will allow contributors to share their work in its entirety on social media. Before then, we request that you only share sneak peeks.

Can I sell my work at conventions or online?

We ask that you please wait until the zine is fully wrapped up to offer the work for sale. Once leftover sales are closed, feel free to sell your work anywhere you’d like! Merch artists will receive remaining stock of their items and can feel free to reproduce on their own.

Can we submit excerpts for the writer apps?

Absolutely! Please feel free to choose just a portion of an existing fic for an application piece. We do ask that you make sure it is cohesive as a stand-alone piece, so we can judge it based on plot/flow/clarity.
(Also please feel free to link to the full version in the doc in case we wanna read the rest for fun :3 But that's not required.)

Can application pieces contain manga spoilers or should those be avoided?

We're fine with spoilers in applications! You can mark them by putting "spoilers" in the file name, but that isn't necessary.

Do our applications need to contain pieces with detailed backgrounds?

If you are applying to be a page artist, please have at least one example with a detailed background. It could be environmental or decorative, but should demonstrate your ability to create an interesting composition. If you are applying to be a merch artist, you don't need examples with backgrounds, but you should have completed merchandise designs of some sort in your portfolio.

Should we only include MHA/Iida related content in our portfolios or are other examples welcome?

You're more than welcome to include examples from other fandoms - or original ideas! We just request that at least (1) piece is BNHA. It does NOT have to include the Iida bros, but if you've got one that does, please show us!You can find all our app guidelines > HERE <

Is it okay when I put a title, summary and warnings to my stories? It may then be a few more words that 2,000 because of it.

That's perfectly fine :D Warnings and such are very appreciated.

Hey. So I have a favourite written piece, but it has over 3,000 words. Can I still put it into the portfolio?

If there is a way you can take just a few scenes from it to fit the 1-2k, then that would be the best route. But if it's a piece you're very proud of and passionate about, it would be best to include it. We wanna see your best work, after all :) Just try to still aim for the total between all pieces to be around 6k.

Can we send in our written work as a Word document?

You can upload the Word doc(s) into Google Drive and then provide the drive link in the portfolio! Drive will automatically open Word docs as Google Docs - the formatting just looks a little different.

Is it okay to put "x reader" works in our portfolios?

Please avoid "x reader", if possible! Thank you for understanding!
