FAQ


▎❝ What is this project?
This project is a free digital fanzine made for MuLian lovers by MuLian lovers.
▎❝ What is the theme of the zine?
Our theme is 'Seasons'. We wish to include four different flavors of MuLian accoding to each season vibes!
That's why our zine would be divided in four sections, each one according to a season. Our contributors would be given general keywords to match each season vibe:Spring: blooming, growing, youth, wind
Summer: warmth, drought, sunlight, completeness
Autumn: harvest, fall, chill, lost
Winter: cold, evergreen, dry, rest
▎❝ Is it gonna be an SFW or NSFW?
Both! Since this is meant to be a digital zine we've decided to create two different booklets (.pdf), one will be only SFW and the other will contain a plus section with the NSFW art.
This may change according to artist and writers interests.▎❝ Will minors be allowed to participate?
All contributors must be +18.
▎❝ Can I include other characters/ships in my work?
Other characters and ships can be included on the page arts or fics, as long as they are side ships or side characters. MuLian must be the center of the work and /or the main pair.
▎❝ Does it has to be a romantic representation of MuLian?
Not necessarily! We love them as friends or more. So feel free to show your appreciation to this pair platonic or not-platonic relationship.
▎❝ Is there gonna be merch included in the zine?
Yes! It would depend on our contributors, but we want to include merch. Since this is a digital zine it would be printable merch only, which can include: bookmark, callendar, stickers, planners, etc.
▎❝ How do I apply to join as a contributor?
Applications will open from August 5th to September 15th. The form would be available on Twitter/X, Tumblr and Bluesky on the profiles of our zine.
