☙ Content Guidelines ❧

The primary focus of submissions should be on Char Aznable and Garma Zabi’s relationship, though the inclusion of other characters is allowed and encouraged if it does not detract from that focus. (If you have any questions about this, please reach out to the mod team to discuss. If a piece is unsuitable for the spirit of the zine, it will be reviewed and ideally course-corrected early in the creation period on a case-by-case basis.)

• Char x Garma, Garma x Char, and works which are non-ship or ship-ambiguous but still examine the dynamics between the characters are all allowed. Char x Garma x (Other) may be allowed with prior mod approval.• Headcanons, AUs, canon-divergent and canon-compliant works are all welcome!• Adult content, including explicit sexual material and graphic violence, are allowed. As such, all contributors must be over the age of 18.• Depending on the amount and nature of sensitive material, these entries may be confined to the back half of the physical zine and a separate page of the digital zine.• Extreme underage sexual content is not allowed (though romance is fine.)• Works created using Generative AI are not allowed.• No previously-created work; all submissions must be tailor-made to the zine within the allotted creation period.

❧ PAGE LIMITS:
• There is a 2.5k word limit for fanfiction. (Submissions which are not traditional prose will have their limits discussed and adjusted on a case-by-case basis.)• There is a 4-page limit per comic.• Page artists may create a single page work, or a 2-page spread.❧ ACCEPTED CONTENT TYPES:

Patreon sketches, draw streams, or as a sample to apply to other projects) is fine as long as the work is not posted to social media in full.
