FAQ
WHAT IS A "HUE" PROJECT?
A "Hue" project has a theme loosely inspired by Huevember.This project's goal is to have a minimum of one of each color on the color wheel. We will give color codes to help follow the palette.If you feel like this is too limiting – never fear! You can use other colors in your piece, but the dominant color must be your assigned hue.We will take color preferences during the pitching period and do our best to assign fairly.
Is this zine for charity or for profit?
This project will be for profit. Funds will first be used to fulfill all orders and cover full bundles for each contributor as compensation. Any leftover funds after that will be split evenly among the contributors.
Will you email applicants regardless of acceptance?
Everyone will get an email response to the email address provided in their application, regardless of whether they are accepted as a contributor, accepted as a pinch hitter, or rejected from the project.
How will we submit files for check-ins and final submission?
Check-ins will be done by sharing Google Drive folder links in a google form, which will be provided to contributors at the beginning of each check-in. Please include your credit name in the file names & ensure share settings are set to “view by anyone with the link!”
Please put your name on your files :)
Please :')
Can I submit NSFW samples in my portfolio?
Since this is an 18+ NSFW project, yes you may! If there is anything that isn't strictly "vanilla," please do put it in a separate folder within your main and label any trigger warnings that may apply! We all have different tastes and would like to ensure all mods stay safe during the application process :)
Can I draw/write X for the zine?
All contributors will submit pitches with their preference in characters / ships / hue assignment. We will do our best to assign first choices to everyone, but please know that some people will be asked to do their second or third choice.
If I ship X, will it prevent me from getting into the zine?
We are not concerned with your personal content preferences (outside very specific and obvious exceptions). The mods are all pro-ship. Our main concern when it comes to screening potential contributors is to make sure they do not participate in drama, harassment, or bullying of any sort.Hate or prejudice of any sort will not be tolerated inside the Discord server nor the project itself.
Will you ship internationally?
We will! The only exceptions to shipping will be if your country has its borders closed to international mail for any reason.
Can I submit my ao3 / Deviantart / Carrd for my portfolio?
The mods strongly request that you take the time to upload your pieces into a Google Drive folder. This enables all mods to be able to view your pieces equally.It is very important to be able to curate your portfolios to the required 2-3 / 3-5 / etc limits. It helps to showcase your best work and that you know your own strengths and weaknesses.
Can I apply for more than one position?
Certainly! Please be aware, however, all potential contributors will be chosen for only one role.
APP GUIDELINES

WRITER GUIDELINES:
APPS CLOSED
Please submit 2-3 samples that best demonstrate your style of writing.
Each sample should be a minimum of 1,500 words. All 3 samples combined should not exceed 7k words.
We will be judging samples based on characterization, grammar, punctuation, flow, and plot.
All samples must be 100% written by you. Previous zine works are allowed. If the zine isn't released yet, please ensure you have permission from your mods to share! We will not be sharing any applicants' links outside of the MHH Mod Team.
Your fic for this project will follow the rules of a Reverse Bang. Artists will come up with an initial sketch for writers to choose from for a collab.

PAGE ARTIST GUIDELINES
APPS CLOSED
Please submit 3-6 samples of finished work that best represent your style & ability.
NSFW and SFW works are both welcome. If your pieces require trigger warnings of any sort, please place them in a subfolder inside your main Google Drive folder, and name that folder with the triggers. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
This project will be a Hue Project. Please include a piece, if available, that demonstrates your ability to work monochromatically.
We will judge pieces based on composition, color and/or value, understanding of form & depth, and anatomy.
Backgrounds are required, whether they are simple & decorative or environmental. At least one piece in your portfolio must have a detailed background.
If you would like to be considered for making a comic for the zine, please include AT LEAST one example of previous comic work, so we can judge how well you carry a plot, readability, style, and the layout of panels.

MERCH ARTIST GUIDELINES
APPS CLOSED
Please submit 3-6 samples of finished work that best represent your style & ability. A "set" can count as one piece (for example, if you have Iida, Deku, and Uraraka together in a sticker set - you can count that as 1 of your 3-6).
NSFW and SFW works are both welcome. If your pieces require trigger warnings of any sort, please place them in a subfolder inside your main Google Drive folder, and name that folder with the triggers. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
We will judge pieces based on composition, color and/or value, understanding of form & depth, and rendering.
The merchandise for this project will be required to follow a specific color due to the Hue Theme – or have a rainbow palette.
We will consider more unique items during pitches, but if you have the desire to create a certain type of merchandise for the zine (enamel pins, acrylic charms, stickers, etc), it is encouraged to show work examples of those types of merch. It is not guaranteed that any artist will be assigned any specific type of merch.
All examples do not need to be merch "items." Full illustrations, or print examples, are encouraged.
Both digital and traditional works are acceptable - however, traditional work must be scanned in high quality.
