1. What will the zine be about?
From lazy mornings in bed to quiet nights spent in cigarette smoke,「 N E M U I 」is an unofficial domestic fanzine dedicated to Kaiba Seto and Jounouchi Katsuya. As with the nature of Domestic themes, this zine will be centered around their everyday lives together.


2. What kind of zine will this be?
Provided enough interest is garnered, we will be doing both a digital and physical zine with supporting merchandise. The zine itself will be 9x6 and perfect bound. It will be SFW and the rating will be up to Teen. The mods will thoroughly review each piece so that it fits within these parameters and guidelines.


3. Will this zine be for-profit or charity?
This zine will be a charity zine! Once production costs are accounted for, all proceeds will be donated to the charity of choice. The mods will specify which charity at a later date. Please note that all contributors will receive a full bundle of the zine for free as well as any added merchandise at no cost to them.


4. How many contributors will there be?
There will be a total of 20-25 contributors with some guests being invited to participate. A breakdown will be: 12 page artists, 3 merch artists, and 10 writers.


5. How many pieces can contributors do?
Artists can contribute 1-2 full-page pieces if they desire. Anything from illustrations to comics are welcomed. Likewise, the word count for writers is 1,000 to 3,000 words. As long as they stay within that range, they are free to do a series of stories or a oneshot that spans the entire amount.


6. Is Discord mandatory for this zine?
Yes, it is! Once contributors are chosen, they will receive an email with a link to the zine's server. Moderators will use Discord as the main hub of communication so that contributors are privy to any creation, production, and fulfillment-related updates. Again, it is an absolute necessity that contributors join the server.


7. Are you looking for additional moderators?
Possibly! At the moment, there is only one mod that is on the team. You may inquire about her further in the moderator section and view her past works there. She has experience with making graphics, layouts, financing, and shipping. If you are interested in joining the team, please send a DM to her Twitter or Discord.

Hello! I like matcha lattés, video games, and building custom, premium mechanical keyboards. I nap, design, and like staring at my empty word docs. Feel free to ask me about my 70+ wips lol.If you're interested in my previous zines, I was the Head mod for various HQ!! zines such as the Divine, Sweetheart, and Everlasting. I was in charge of promotional graphics, zine layouts, finance, and shipping. Outside fandom, I have 5+ years of experience as a Project Manager and 7 years of UX/UI. I used to code but lost the passion for it as I got older cause it got boring.
