Piece Submission Requirements

  • Every piece must be focused on Kojiro, but cameos from other characters are welcome. Remember that the zine is not a ship focused zine, so we’re asking everyone to avoid submitting works depicting heavily romantic situations.

  • We won’t require every work to feature food, but every piece must contain food and/or cooking related elements (i.e. kitchen tools and raw ingredients). Cooking isn’t only about the finished dish, after all!

  • Contributors will be given freedom to depict situations in any canon setting, so long as the pieces match the theme of the zine and follow the guide and template they’ll be provided by the mods.

  • Discord is needed to communicate with the mods and other contributors.
