FAQ

What is a zine?
A zine is a compilation of creative works, usually artworks and writing. It’s similar to a book or a miniature magazine.

This zine is a scrapbook themed zine centered around Klee from Genshin Impact. It will be be organised like a travel log by Klee.

What are the 6zine specs?
- For Profit, Available both Physically and Digitally

- 26 Page Artists, 5 Merch Artists, 5 Writers

How will contributors be compensated?
We aim to provide all contributors with a full bundle of the zine, inclusive of the zine itself, all available merch items, stretch goals and shipping. Funds will mainly go towards production and shipping. The remaining funds will be distributed among the mods and all contributors evenly.

Will other character/ships be featured?
As the main focus of this zine is Klee, all pieces should feature her. Other characters and platonic interactions, however, are more than welcome.

Is the zine only set in canonverse?
The setting for the zine will be limited to canonverse, but we welcome all characters that have already canonically appeared in the game! This means pieces can show Klee taking a picture with Childe, walking with Qiqi in Liyue, etc.

Who is allowed to apply?
Everyone aged 16 and above at the point of August 21st will be able to participate in the zine. Individuals under the age of 18 should have the approval of a guardian and can be paid through a guardian's PayPal.

Are you looking for more moderators / intern mods?
We are tentatively not looking for more mods/intern mods, but this may change in the future. Any changes will be announced on our social media.

What are the application requirements?
We will come out with further requirements after the interest check concludes and after we have a better understanding of what our zine will include. Until we have finalised our specs, we will not be answering any questions in regards to applications.

Where can I reach you if my questions aren't answered here?
