Yes, your piece must feature some elements from both space themes and One Piece characters/elements.Will this zine touch on spoilers?
This is likely, as some contributors will be up to date on the manga so spoilers can be included.Why do I have to be 16+ to join?
Due to the possibility of more mature themes in this zine (in line with those featured in the manga/anime), as well as the topics no doubt discussed in the server we'd like to make sure all our contributors are 16+ at the time of their application.Do I need to have zine experience to get in?
No previous zine experience is required, mods will be basing decisions from the strength of an individual's application and portfolio.Is it needed to have created for One Piece before?
We are looking for at least one work in your portfolio to show One Piece characters, so that mods can gauge how your style may convey the characters. However, you do not need to be a prominent OP creator to be accepted into this zine.
