Frequently Asked Questions

For any unanswered questions, feel free to reach out on Twitter, Retrospring, or email.What is a zine?
A zine is a non-official collection of works, ranging from writing to art, made by fans. This zine will feature the character Blade from Honkai Star Rail
Will this zine be physical or digital?
This zine will be a SFW (safe-for-work) physical and digital zine, but it may feature mentions of blood or violence.
Will this zine be for-profit or charity?
This zine will be for-profit, but contributors may elect to donate their earnings to a charity of their choice.
Is there a minimum age requirement?
Yes. Contributors must be at least 18 years of age by the time contributor applications open.
Are ships allowed?
No, no romantic ships will be portrayed in this zine.
Will depictions of Yingxing (Blade's past self) be allowed?

Will you be shipping internationally?
Yes. Please note that all packages will be shipped from the US. Please visit the USPS Website for restrictions.
How many contributors will be included?

Can I apply for more than one position?
Yes, but you may only be accepted for one.
How will contributors be compensated?
If profits allow, all contributors will be given a full bundle, inclusive of a physical zine and merch. In the event that we do not break even, all contributors will be sent a digital version of the zine and the choice to purchase any physical items at production cost.
All remaining profits will be split in this manner: 30% to moderators and 70% to contributors.
