X Is this digital zine going to be free?
Yes, this project will be free to all who want it. No purchase is needed!
X Is there an age limit for moderators and contributors?
Yes, all mods and contributors must be at least 18 at the time of application.
X Do you need prior zine experience to apply?
Past zine experience is not required and will not affect your application. We welcome first-timers as much as we do veterans.
X Do you have to have experience creating for dead dove content to apply?
No. We don't require you to. Although, showing us you are capable of creating darker content is encouraged, but will not affect your application if you're new to it all. We all have to start somewhere.
X Are you only considering contributors from Vol. 1?
We are taking all applications under consideration and will not be biased. Keeping applications as anonymous as possible will help with this, as we want to give everyone a fair chance to join.
X What content is allowed?
All content is welcome with one exception: sexual content involving underage characters will not be allowed. All else is fair game.
X Is aging up characters allowed?
Yes, this is allowed.
X Will AUs be allowed?
Yes. We would like to see a mix of AUs and Canon content.
X Are ships allowed?
Yes, but it won't be the main focus on this zine as the dark content itself will take center stage.
X Will contributors be judged or excluded for any fictional content they've posted on other platforms, no matter how dark or "problematic"?
The Mod team is for fictional freedom, and we believe everyone has the right to create what they want without judgement. We do not tolerate harassment here, and our main goal is to ensure everyone, no matter their stance on fiction, gets a safe place to explore their creativity. We will remain unbiased.
X I know you have a no-harassment policy but I'm still hesitant about joining. Is it possible for me to stay anonymous?
Those involved in the project are free to remain anonymous in the zine itself for their own reasoning and comfort. If you are in need of this extra support for your mental health, boundaries, and comfort, please let us know in the application, so we can accommodate you.
X Is AI allowed?
No. Any art or writing created by using AI generation is prohibited. All applications should not include AI at all. Any contributors found to be using AI will be asked to leave the project.
All other inquiries can be directed to our Twitter, Blusky, and email. DMs are open.
