The basics
- If you shared a work during Daster Week 2024, it’s welcome in the zine!
- Exception: Works with excessive gore/graphic blood are excluded from submissions for the PDF due to the designer’s personal triggers (and she is truly sorry about that)
- Submissions will be printed AS IS. Make sure you have double checked all spelling and grammar before you submit! We will not have time to edit submissions.
- The zine will be released as a free PDF download
Preparing your fic for the zine
- [ ] Fics may be in doc, rtf, or txt format. We won’t accept AO3 downloads that have been pasted into Word unless you remove all excess before submitting the file
- [ ] We will maintain italics and bold text (you do not need to highlight or otherwise indicate these), but fonts and text color will be standardized across the zine.
- [ ] If your fic requires custom formatting (e.g. letters, text messages, quotes), add a note at the top of your document letting muse know!
- [ ] If you require a special symbol in your text, make a note at the top of the document. We can’t guarantee that a glyph will be available.
- [ ] Indicate scene changes with a hash
#
on its own line. Convert any other spacers (horizontal rule, emojis, asterisks, etc.) to this format.
- [ ] Use actual em dashes (the long ones that look like this —) or indicate where they are to be placed with two dashes --
- [ ] If your fic must include emojis, they need to be text based. Do not use inline image emojis
