What is a zine?
A fanzine, or zine for short, is a term used to describe an unofficial, fanmade publication, which can be both digital or physical. Zines often contain a mix of artworks, writing, and merchandise for a specific fandom.
This artbook in particular will feature various artworks and merchandise.
What are the artbook's specifications?
The artbook will be both physical and digital. The rest of the specifications will be determined by the interest check results.
Are ships allowed?
Unfortunately, we will not allow romantic ships in the pieces created for this artbook. However, depictions of Keqing's platonic relationships with other characters are allowed.
Are AUs allowed in the zine?
AUs in the zine pieces are allowed as long as they remain PG-13!
Are minors allowed to apply as a contributor?
Minors above the age of 16 at the point of application are allowed to apply as a contributor.
How will the contributors be compensated?
We hope to compensate contributors with at least a full physical bundle if they choose to receive one. However, this will completely depend on whether we can gain enough funds from the zine's sales.
※This FAQ page will be updated periodically. Feel free to direct any other questions to this zine's CuriousCat, Email, or Twitter DMs.

Hi! I'm Tadpole and rolled Keqing for my first ten-pull in October '20. Since then she's never left my team and I triple-crowned her. I gave her 20 rings and she still won't marry me >:(
