Q. Is Scaramouche considered a Harbinger in this zine?
A. Yes, he is! Canonically, it would be considered an AU, but as he was a Fatui Harbinger, contributors may write about Scaramouche, his past as Kunikuzushi, or his current life as Hat Guy.Q. Can I collaborate with someone on my piece?
A. Yes, absolutely! We’d love to see collaborative pieces, and if you have an idea about what you want to do, hit the brainstorming or general channels!Q. Is this a for-profit/charity zine?
A. No, this is a free, digital-only zine! The head mod has been considering for-profit or for-charity zines lately, so future volumes or editions could be either-or. The completed zine would be available on souriru.itch.io.Q. Will contributors retain the rights to their work?
A. Yes, all contributors and creators retain the rights to their work! All we ask is that you wait until after the zine has been released to post your art and/or fanfics onto your social media/AO3.Q. Will there be content moderation, sensitivity checking, and/or beta reading?
A. Yes, there will. All artworks and fics first go into the final submission channel, after which it is not only reviewed by fellow contributors, but also the mods on creation of the final zine. In case of any violations, the contributor(s) shall be messaged and informed of any editing they might need to do or that has been done on their behalf by the moderators.Q. Is including Aether/Lumine or Celestia necessary?
A. Technically, it’s up to you! If you feel that Aether/Lumine or Celestia’s presence in the comic or story is important, feel free to do so.Q. What ships are allowed?
A. All Harbinger ships are allowed- ship-wise, we’re pro-any-kind as long as it fits the theme we’re going for. Shipping Harbingers with Aether/Lumine (e.g. Chilumi) is also completely fine! For ships that feel a little borderline illegal in your mind, please reach out to the head mod at soruiru.tumblr.com or on discord @soleiluzz and they’ll get back to you as soon as they can!
