FAQ

Q: What is a digital zine?A: A digital zine is a collection of art and writing organized into a downloadable PDF. We plan to release ours for free, which means anyone will be allowed to download it once it is complete.Q: If I am almost 18, can I join this zine?A: Anyone who is 18 years old before January 8th, 2024 (the end of our contributor application period) is allowed to join the zine.Q: How many contributors will you be accepting to this zine?A: We will be accepting no more than 50 contributors, due to the mods having time and availability constraints. We are hoping to have a fairly equal spread between art and writing.Q: Is having a Baldur's Gate piece in my portfolio a requirement?A: No, having a Baldur's Gate related piece in your portfolio is not required.Q: Will you be sending responses to everyone who applied?A: Yes, we will be contacting everyone who submits an application to be a contributor.Q: Will OCs/Tavs/Durge be allowed in this zine?A: No, we will not have any OCs, Tavs, or depictions of Durge in this zine. We will be focusing only on the canon NPCs and companions!Q: Is depicting the albino dragonborn Durge allowed?A: No. We will not be including depictions the dragonborn Durge, as we would like this zine to focus on BG3's companions and main NPC characters.Q: Which characters will be in the zine? Will there be a limit to how many people can make art/writing for one character?A: We plan to include as many NPCs as people are interested in seeing! For now, we are aiming to represent the 6 origin companions, the other companions who can join your camp, and a few of the important/popular NPCs such as Kar’niss and the Chosen Three. If you want to draw a character not included in this list, please feel free to pitch them to us in your contributor application! We will have a write-in section for any character we did not list.
In addition, we will put a soft limit on the number of submissions per character. In your acceptance email, we will list which character we accepted you for from your pitches. The piece you create should feature that character prominently, but you are allowed to include other characters if you’d like!
Q: Will you allow any shipping in this zine?A: Shipping between canon adult characters will be allowed in any combination.
