frequently asked questions

( I ) What is a fanzine?     _{A fanzine is an unofficial, fan-created anthology that brings together a curated collection of artwork, writing, and other creative works inspired by a shared source or theme. This project is centered on a rofan interpretation of the My S-Class Hunters universe, encouraging transformative works that explore alternate settings.}

( II ) What type of content will be featured?     _{This zine is designed to highlight the breadth of the community’s creativity within a gen (general audience) framework. As such:

The main zine will be strictly safe for work, gen, and non-explicit.

Canon-adjacent levels of affection are welcome, as long as all content remains appropriate for a general audience and does not focus on romantic relationships.

We welcome alternate universes (AUs), focusing on rofan reinterpretations of canon characters and their circumstances.

A separate NSFW add-on may be produced as an optional, clearly labeled component. This content will be restricted to 18+ contributors and audiences and will not be included in the main zine.}

( III ) What exactly is "rofan"?     _{Rofan is a genre and aesthetic inspired by Korean webnovels and manhwa that focuses on elegant fantasy settings—think nobility, balls, politics, and magic—often paired with dramatic character roles like (northern) dukes, royalty, and potential regresser/transmigrater/reincarnator protagonists.}

( IV ) Do I need prior zine experience to apply?     _{No prior experience is required. Applicants will be evaluated solely on the quality of their submitted works.}

( V ) Can I apply for multiple roles?     _{Yes, applicants may apply for more than one role. However, it is very likely that final selections will be limited to one role per contributor to ensure a balanced project structure.}

( VI ) Do I need Discord?     _{Yes. Discord will serve as the primary communication platform for updates and coordination.

( VII ) Will this zine be physical or digital?     _{This project will be a fully digital zine, with all content distributed electronically.}

(.) Original music or audio tracks
(.) Small interactive or downloadable experiences (e.g., simple games or themed assets)
