what are the zine requirements for artist/writer?
artists are able to claim up to two pages (or one spread), but are permitted for more with mod approval. writers are capped at 2.5k words for their written pieces.
what is limelight: an oc zine?
the word 'limelight' itself means "the focus of public attention" (or the stage light commonly used in theater); the zine(s) are meant to 'spotlight' artists' original characters through different lenses and themes.
is there contributor compensation?
at least for the time being, limelight: an oc zine is a completely free operation.
how do the editions work?
our goal is to put out two editions per year: one in spring, and the other in fall. the editions are decided upon by the contributors in the discord server.
how does print-on-demand work?
mixam's print-on-demand service means that zines will go directly from them to you. all zines are at production cost, meaning there is no revenue for us. if you have more questions about their process, please look at mixam's faq about it.
