Pre Orders open from 15thSept- 20th Oct!
About:
Hello everyone, and thank you for your interest in Skool Luv Affair BTS zine! The concept for this project is an OT7 BTS zine, a fan book filled with illustrations and stories capturing the theme of youth inspired by our lovely Bangtan boys x high school moments✨
Our zine will have the following chapters:
-Morning
-Study break
-After school
Pieces produced for this project should adhere loosely to one of the following themes:
✦ Romance! Who can forget their cute highschool crushes and first love! Ah young love...
✦ Friendships! Fun at the break hours with all sorts of games and gossips, exams tension, studies and all kinds of school rendezvous.
✦ The theme doesn't strictly have to be for students but can be about teachers and teaching faculty as well as long as they remain SFW. However, no plots/AUs of adult/minor relationships will be condoned.
✦ Please note that the Artworks/Fics to be featured can include all OT7 members or ships. Ships portrayed in this zine are not real, they are imagined AUs. So please be respectful towards every artist/author's work.
Please no NSFW or gore content

FAQ:
What is a zine?
A zine is a collection of works which can be art, writing, or a mixture of both put into a PDF and/or book format. It’s usually a group project hosting different works from all of its contributors. They are commonly on limited print sales and can come with different forms of merch as well. Zines are commonly themed around a fandom of some sort.
What are the zine's specs?
Skool Luv Affair zine will be an 8.5” x 11”, glossy cover, perfect bound physical copy (Full colour) pages of art, writing and will also have merch. Contributors will be split between Morning, study break and after school chapters. This zine will also have a digital pdf version!
Is this zine for Charity or Profit?
This zine is for profit. This means that after selling, if there are profits leftover, they will be used in shipping contributor copies (if enough sales are made for us to let all contributors and mods have a copy or bundle) and/or will be evenly split out amongst contributors working on the project.
Will contributors get a free copy of the zine?
All contributors will get a free pdf copy and digital merch. Physical book and merch will be given if we make enough sales during preorders.
Do contributors need to be over 18 years old?
You can be under the age of 18 to apply and participate! Since this zine is a split profit zine, your share of the profit will automatically be put up for charity since we legally can’t pay minors for services. We hope that you understand!
What sort of participants are you looking for?
This zine will showcase artists, merch artists and writers. Contributors application open as of 23rd april!
Communication:
All zine discussions (beyond the initial acceptance emails) will take place on discord. Making a discord account and joining the zine's server is requested upon acceptance.
