✱ What is a zine?
A zine is any collection of work that is independently or small-batch published. Zines have a rich history in fandom, counterculture, music, and politics. This project is a fan zine, meaning it has a central theme around a specific fandom—in this case, Code: Lyoko!✱ How will this zine work?
The project will start with an interest check to gauge interst for the project. Should there be enough interest, contributor applications will open for both artists and writers. Folks who are interested in contributing will apply, and after the window closes those who are accepted will be notified. Once all of the artists and writers have been notified, they will have three months to create a single piece for the zine. The mods will compile all of them into a single work—and ta-da—a zine is born!✱ Is there and age requirement for contributors?
Yes--All contributors must be at least 18 years of age by the end of the pre order period (by august 1st).✱ Do you need any prior zine experience?
Nope! This project is open to anyone and everyone who wishes to contribute!✱ What is the zine schedule?

Click on the mods folder at the top of the page to read more about us!✱ How many contributors will there be?
We are still waiting for the results of the interest check, so we aren't certain. We estimate 30-40 contributors total, but this is not a hard cut-off!✱ Can I apply/ contribute as multiple positions (such as artist and writer)?
Yes! You may apply for as many positions as you'd like, but you will only be formally accepted for up to two positions, should you have applied for more.

✱ Will this be a for-profit project?
Nope! All proceeds generated beyond manufacturing/ shipping costs will be donated. We are still deciding where to donate to, and are watching the IC!✱ I want to apply as a contributor, what should I submit?
We want to see your work! In order to apply, we are asking for a portfolio or selection of works that are relevant to the position you are applying for. None of the pieces need to be Code: Lyoko related, but it is certainly a plus!

  • If you're applying for a page artist, spread artist, spot artist, cosplayer or comic position, we'll expect to see at least 5 pieces of art that show your style and capabilities.

  • If you’re applying for the cover art position, we will be looking for at least 5 pieces that exemplify your use of composition, proportion, and show a strong ability to draw backgrounds. We HIGHLY suggest submitting at least one Code: Lyoko art piece!

  • If you’re applying for a merch position, we will be looking for at least 5 pieces that show your skill at merch-making. Whether they be stickers, keychains, wallpapers, or print designs, we want the best look at what you bring to the table.

  • If you're applying for an author position, we'll expect to see 3-7 pieces of writing. At least one of the pieces must be within 1-5k words. All submissions must be less than 10k words. If you would like to submit a sample from a larger work (a work that exceeds 10k words), please submit only a selection, or state that we should look at a single chapter! If you submit a piece longer than 10k and give no instructions, we will only read the first 10k words.

  • If applying as a poetry writer, we’ll expect to see 3+ poems of at least three stanzas, or prose not exceeding 10k.

✱ I’ve never submitted to a zine before! What does a portfolio look like?
We prepared several example portfolios at this link if you’d like to take a look. Please email us if you have questions!
