About the Zine

This will be a free release zine featuring art and writings dedicated to Ogata Hyanosuke and everything about his characters. From his dynamics with others, his own backstory and motivations, to his wild and random antics, we'd love to highlight the things we love most about him and his part in Golden Kamuy.

If you do not meet the timeframe for joining the discord, submitting pitches, or meeting your deadlines without letting the mods know, we will consider that as a resignation from the zine.•Artists and writers hold full rights to their piece once the zine concludes. We ask that zine pieces past the sketch phase/draft phase not be shared outside the zine's Discord. Breach of this rule will result in your exclusion from the zine.•While we are accepting of all skill levels for all art and writing, we do ask that your final pieces fit the standard set by the zine. That means having your artwork match the size required, and your end writing piece be properly edited and proofread.-About the Application Process:•Contributors must be 18+ by the type of applications closing. No exceptions.•Accepted contributors must join the zine's Discord server. If you can not or will not join, you can not participate.•Plagiarism or use of AI in any form will not be tolerated in any shape or form. If you are caught doing this, you will be removed from the zine and barred from future entries in other zines.•While the zine will be considered NSFW, we ask that your example pieces not contain anything sexually explicit in nature. Typical TW/CW will still apply during your application.•We ask that you submit at least two full colored illustrations in your application, and/or one finished writing piece, so we can best assess your potential entries.•Please ensure that any pieces you submit are accessible for the mods to view. If we can not see them, we will have to consider your application incomplete.•Mods will only be judging on the skill the artists show and the relevency of their pieces. Followers, mod association, or anything of that sort will not be considered in the acceptance of your contributor application.
