FAQ
Even though there's no shipping, are other characters allowed?Other characters are welcome as long as Leone is the central character! After all, this is his zine!Will this zine be taking cosplayers and writers?Yes! We plan on taking on a number of writers, and we welcome cosplayers to apply as well! Cosplayers will be applying through the "Artist Application", since their submissions will be categorized as page art within the zine.Will this be a for profit project?Yes. We intend for this to be for profit, however, as with all zines, profits are not guaranteed.How will funds from this project be used? How will contributors be compensated?Funds from the zine will first be put towards breaking even on its expenses. After that, all remaining profits will go towards compensating contributors and moderators. It is our goal to ensure every contributor receives a physical copy of their work, however our ability to do so will be reliant upon the sales of the zine. If funds are insufficient to provide every contributor with a free physical copy, they will always be guarantied a free digital copy and all digital merch, as well as potentially a discounted physical copy, shipping, or physical merch, or otherwise compensated to the best of the mods' ability.Why 18+ if this isn't an NSFW project?Since this zine is intended to be for profit, we would like all our contributors to be adults.Can I apply for multiple roles?Yes. If you believe you can handle the workload of contributing multiple pieces, you are more than welcome to apply for multiple roles. If you have a strong preference for one role over the other, please mention so in the comments section of your application.Can my portfolio or sample pieces have NSFW in them?Yes, for artists. Despite this being a SFW zine, it's alright to submit work in your artist application that contains NSFW material. If you do submit NSFW, please be sure to tick the box within the application so that it's not opened in public accidentally by the mods during review.
We will not be accepting NSFW sample pieces from writers at this time.Can contributors collaborate?Yes, they can! Contributors are welcome to, and encouraged to collaborate with one another, if they wish.

Hello! I'm Teeth Sponge. I love Leone Abbacchio, possums, and sunflowers. I've been a contributor on several projects, and just recently began modding.

Hey, fellow Abbacchio lovers! I'm honoured to be able to work on the design of the zine tributed to this grumpy, sensitive goth with his just heart! He's the main reason I got stuck in Vento Aureo for years now, after all. :D

Heyo!! I'm ToastyMomo! When I'm not 3D Modeling, or illustrating, or playing with my hamster, I spend a COMPLETELY normal amount of time thinking about JJBA's very own Leone Abbacchio. I mean... a grouchy man decked out in purple's and greys struggling with his past? What's not to love!! ;w;
