CONTENT GUIDELINES

These restrictions are based on input from the interest check. All content is valid and wonderful, and this is not a judgement of any of the mods' opinions about this content. We need to tailor our zine's content to our potential consumers in order to make sales, which is why we have the following guidelines.

AGE: characters must be at least 18 at the time of the story or art. All age gaps are permitted, including teacher/student.
INCEST: permitted, but limited to no more than two or three pieces in the zine to reflect that some people dislike it while others enjoy it.
NON-CON: explicit depictions of non-con are NOT permitted, but references are fine. Consensual non-consent is also fine.
KINKS: enema, scat, and vore will NOT be featured in the zine. Piss and ageplay will be limited to no more than two pieces each, as many people like these kinks but many people do not like them. All other kinks are permitted as long as they are performed consensually.
(Again, we reiterate, this is to tailor the vibes of the zine and to make our content marketable to what you, our audience, has indicated preferences for. All varieties of content are valid, even if we aren't having them in this particular project. No kink-shaming or hate is tolerated.)
