okay one: you're such a nice group of mods, thank YOUU!!! two: when will all the emails be sent?

First of all, thank you so much for your kind words. We honestly are just doing our best since we care a lot for the zine. Nothing extraordinary.

Second, artist and merch artist results will be announced today. Though, we don’t really want to give specifics on when “exactly” we will send out the emails since we still have to do last minute discussing. In addition to that, we have to individually write all the acceptance emails. Long story short, we will write a mass post once we sent out the emails! Please keep in mind, we are in PST timezone so please don’t worry if you get your email in your timezone a bit later! It’ll more than likely be done within the day of our timezone so keep an eye out for that! As for writers, we unfortunately haven’t finished judging yet. We still need a bit more time to do so. Thus, the results for writers will be announced with delay. We will keep you guys updated.

I hope it answers your question. Thanks for the ask.

Happy 2nd Anniversary!

On 13th October 2017 this blog turned 2 years old, and as those who visited my anniversary stream on that day know, I started a group picture there:

This blogs OCs’ and their friends!

Thank you all for 2 years of loyality, support and over 500 followers!! You are absolutely amazing! <3

(and yes it took me until today to finish it)

Mentions and some other stuff below; if you spot your character here, please read it:

Mabel the Togekiss - @shiruba98 on twitter

You always helped me out on tumblr so much in your time here, you loved my father-child duo just as much as I do and always sent me asks or guest art when I needed it. Thank you for still showing up in my streams when you can and our great chats on your server buddy!

Arko the Ninetales - @arko-and-friend

I already told you a lot of what I want to say when we meet up (I mean you’re sitting right next to me right now) but still! You are one of my most precious friends and I hope this will last forever!!

DJ the Mew - @ask-dj-and-friends

I chose to draw DJs original design here, mostly because it’s how everything began. (plus I was afraid that you’d change the design before I finish - what you did xD) Back then you suddenly showed up and stayed at this blog, I’m so glad we became friends and have the chance to plot and plan and just have fun together! You are a really kind person and should never stop just being yourself!

Star the Shinx - @ryancorrsin

You’re such a lovely guy, always there for your friends, up for a talk or rp, and how you write your characters is absolutely adorable! I’m really glad Tara found her little brother in Star and I hope they’ll be able to have their adventures for a long time longer!

Allen the Umbreon - @asktoastythearcanine

We shipped our cuties for so long, they just fit each other well and I’m glad they stay in this relationship even after your reboot. I wish you the best for your blog, it’s one of the few where I patiently await every update to adore your characters, their relationships between each other and your clean traditional drawings!

Felix the Dewott-Espeon hybrid - @FelixRukai on twitter

I know we had our differences, but I’m glad to still call you my friend! Our rp times were a lot of fun and I’m happy to see your stuff and characters on twitter or Discord once in a while! I really hope you’ll have a lot of fun with your OCs in the future too!

Snow the Umbreon - @Grassnack on twitter

For the last year you’ve been my biggest supporter when it comes to art, not only because of the commissions I was allowed to draw for you! You showed around my art, motivated me to do stuff and get better, and your streams are so much fun every time! I can’t even express everything I would want to tell you, but the most important thing is: Even now that you left tumblr, let’s continue to be such good friends, chat a lot and motivate each other!!

Lisa the Nidoqueen - @ask-nido-royalty

I know we don’t chat or interact a lot, but when we used to chat more it was a lot of fun, plus you brought me some great ideas that time. And every time I see you posting or even liking stuff I just have to smile, happy to see you still being around!

Noir the Meloetta - @ask-the-melodic-squad

I really dunno what to say here. You’re amazing, as an artist and as a person, have been my (female) best friend for like 10 YEARS now??!? I just hope this’ll never change, you’re like a sister to me and I will never risk to loose you! You can’t escape me ;3c

SM the Fennekin - @tailsluigi

You’re that one person who shows up in every stream of mine and I enjoy that just as our relaxing chats once in a while. I also love our art trades, seeing your art in general! We have a lot of fun and I’m really happy about it!

Jaws the Mawile - @ask-the-ruby-wanderer

I remember you suddenly showing up at the stream and helping me out with how to draw Jaws for the first time in like forever. I enjoyed our interactions with her and Lilly a lot! You hopefully didn’t loose your fun with the rps on your blog after all that time and enjoy this little thank you!

Coriander the Delphox - @ask-stockholmsyndrome

I don’t know if you will see this when I send it to you, but I really have to thank you a lot! You were the first one to give me the honor of drawing a commission for and I often showed up in my askbox and feed. I loved your characters on both blogs and am sure you’ll have more free time in the future to be creative again! I wish you the best for prep school, be careful out there!

Jaden the Umbreon - @ask-the-feathered-legendaries

Sorry, I really have no clue if your Sona has a nickname or not...but hey, I’m here to thank you for your help over a long time here on tumblr! You helped me with plot, characters, species and my commission sheet. Yes you were on of the few people who believed in me and damn I’m so happy you did! I wish you, this caring and nice person, the best!!

Kyle the Meowstic - @ask-random-pokes

You too were one of the first people I befriended here and helped me out a lot with this blog! I enjoyed our collab lately and hope we’ll be able to work together again one day. I’m rooting for your commissions to go well, your drawing-style improved a lot and still stood unique! Good job!!

Claws the Zangoose - @Laguna on Discord

[disney-bnha-zine-blog]

Hello everyone~ I hope you all are having an amazing day. I have a few hours to spare before I head for the bed. I just wanted to inform you all that I will be around in case if you guys have any additional questions to ask! 

Thanks for supporting our zine in any form. We are really grateful for all the interest. It makes us even more excited. Again, we really would like to thank you! PLUS ULTRA!

Regarding to Information about Scores

Hello everyone! I hope you all are having a great day. This post will be regarding to artists/merch artists who are interested in learning about their scores for their particular application. I would like to inform you all that we are receiving all of your emails and all of your personal messages. We are keeping track of everyone’s request and we will return back to you as soon as we can. Our current top priority is announcing our writers. Once that is done, we will be reaching back to each one of your requests and we will provide our input! Please do not fear if you haven’t gotten a respond yet. You will. So, you do not have to worry about it. Thank you all!

[disney-bnha-zine-blog]

Pretty sure I was intending to apply for this zine but I completely forgot rip I guess we'll find out once the emails are out and whether I got one or not either way I'm looking forward to see the final result!

Hello dear anon! I also hope you have applied. It would be really sad if you have forgotten about it!

I wish you and everyone else the best of luck with the results! Let me remind you all that the scoring progress was really difficult. So many talented people have applied and we were really amazed by all of the talents we have seen! You all are so talented. It makes us so happy that all these talented people are interested to be part of our zine. It is really unfortunate that we have to accept a certain amount of participants, since this isn’t just a digital zine and due to printing costs we have to stay with a certain limit… Cause believe me anon, we would love to work with you all! Some of you have presented really interesting ideas and we were so amazed by them.

I tend to get all mushy and emotional really fast but, once again, I really would like to thank you all for the support. I hope, even after the results, you will keep on supporting this zine! We will be doing our absolute best to make it an amazing experience for everyone! Thanks for everything!

[disney-bnha-zine-blog]

I have to say as someone who actually was interested in joining, I am highly disappointed that you appear to be like many zines and make writers suffer due to printing costs. You cast a vote to either cut half of the WRITERS or half of the word amount. That's not fair to the writers. Your wall of 1k bricks may stand, but it would be INCREDIBLY weak. And if you really wanted to save on your zine, why not cut back on the artists too? At least by a quarter. But you do you. I'm no longer interested.

Hello there, thank you for your message/ask. 

I am sorry to hear that you are dissapointed in our decisions. However, we are trying to be down to earth and we are doing what we think is the best. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but we are at least hoping to achieve mutual understanding with everyone.

We want our zine to be affordable so we have to be cautious about the money matters. Especially since this isn’t just a digital zine. Each page costs money so any empty space has real value. We have to think about how much space we can assign to each person.  

I have described this in our poll announcement but I’ll repeat myself again. In our original calculations, writers were going to have 52 sides of pages in total while artists were going to have 26 sides of pages in total. So, how would it be fair to cut back on artists when they already had twice as less work space to begin with? 

In addition to that, we didn’t want to decide on our own without asking any of you guys. Cause “that” would have been unfair. Thus, we wanted to know majorities’ thoughts, so we created the public poll. I am not sure how allowing others to have an impact on our decision can be count as unfair. Since anyone had a chance to put their own two cents in the final decision.   

The quality of writing doesn’t (and shouldn’t) depend on word count. It is dissapointing to hear you use the word “weak“ to describe 1k stories. There are tons of people out there who are capable of achieving amazing stories with small word counts and using the word “weak” to generalize all those kind of stories is actually degrading one’s creation.  

Thanks for supporting us up until now. We still appreciate this message. Thanks for being open about your thoughts. We wish you best of luck.

In the rejection emails, will you let people know why you rejected them? If I’m rejected I’d like to know how I can improve

Hello Dear Anon! This is actually a really good question. Honestly, we are still going through the applications and we haven’t discussed about specifics about acceptance and/or rejection emails. So, rest of the answer is going to be my assumption. I’ll voice your question to other mods when we start working on emails. However for now, let me answer to your questions the best way I can. Since we have received plenty of applications, I am assuming we will send a group emails. Because realistically speaking, it will be pretty hard to send individual and personalized emails to every person. However, you can always send us an email at disneyxbnha2017@gmail.com and ask about why we have rejected you. Then, we can explain you our reasoning and clarify our thought progress for specifically your case! 

[disney-bnha-zine-blog]

Do you have parental permission to handle the funds and profits you receive? I'm worried about the legalities of this zine.

Hello Anon,

All the mods who are running this zine are adults who are eligiable to vote, drink and drive under United States California Standards. I, aka Mod Amily, am the oldest among all 3 of us. As to share some of my own personal information, I am currently majoring in Computer Engineering and I’ll be graduating in this upcoming Spring, May 2018. So, you really don’t have to worry about us handing the funds. I am not sure why you have assumed that we are underage in the first place.

Plus, we have mentioned this before but I’ll repeat it again. This is a non-profit zine! All money coming from this zine will be used to pay the manufacturing. After printing + shipping fees, any profit remaining will be donated over to the Make-A-Wish-Foundation.

[disney-bnha-zine-blog]

You send them out yet!? GOD I CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER!!!

Not yet Anon. Please be patient. I know you all are so excited! We all are. Mod C and I, aka Mod Amily, will be working on emails together today. Unfortunately, i have work this morning. (I am actually typing this from work as we speak). As a result, we will work on them after my shift.

We will make a public announcement about it, so please wait for out public announcement. We will let everyone know when we send out emails. Have a great day

[disney-bnha-zine-blog]

I really wish I had the chance to join this zine but I’m thinking it will not be my time lmao, I just wish all the luck to y’all at last

Hey dear Anon! Don’t ever feel down! We still haven’t announced the participants yet so, remain hopeful until the very end. I am cheering for you all!

In addition to that, even if you don’t get selected, please do know that the decisions were based on many factors. It doesn’t determine anything about talent. We all had our subjective view and it was such a hard scoring time. Plus, unlike some other zines, we have to judge people based on the movies they have applied. Our style does differ from other zines so do not feel bad at all even if you get rejected. I repeat, you all are amazingly talented and we were left with such a hard decision to make. To pick the lucky participants, we had to consider many different factors. Once again, i repeat, the results do not reflect anything about talent. Believe me, it doesn’t! Also, us, mods have been rejected by other zines as well, so we all know how it feels like. Yeah, it can be a bummer. However, whatever results you get, please use it as stepping stone for your future success! Use it to improve yourself and fix any mistakes you might have done in your application. As we mentioned in one of the other asks, if any of you would like to learn why we have rejected you, you can send us an email (( disneyxbnha2017@gmail.com )) and we would gladly explain our reasoning and give you tips for your future applications.

I wish everyone the best of all luck! Have a super duper awesome day!

[disney-bnha-zine-blog]

When will you starting sending out the emails?

Hello anon, we have answered this before, but i will restate it. We are still going through applications. We are expecting to send out emails by 20th January the latest according to our schedule. If we have to delay that date due to any unforeseen event, we will make a public post about it and inform you all.

Though, to give heads up, we are almost done with all the artist and merch artist applications. Yay! Going through writer applications is a bit more time consuming since we have to read all the fanfictions they have submitted. Nevertheless, the results will be announced soon and get super excited about that!

[disney-bnha-zine-blog]

Don't worry about the word count -- if a writer can't create a satisfactory piece in less than 1000 words, they clearly still have a lot to learn.

Honestly, I can not top what you have said… so this is the best response I could come up with. Hope you like it! ^u^

>Mod Amily leaves the stage to Mononymus.

[disney-bnha-zine-blog]

Hey thank you for working so hard on this! I'm suffering a bit for you because everyone it's so excited so don't feel rushed

Dear sweet anon, you are very welcome. Honestly, we don’t mind working so hard for this lovely project. We want this to be such a fun experience for everyone and create such an amazing zine. We love both disney and bnha and we are so passionate for this project. So, it is okay! Seeing you guys’ excitement and seeing these kinds of lovely supportive messages makes every single hardship worthwhile! Today, everyone is super excited and all this excitement is totally normal! We really appreciate all this attention and we are thankful for support! The results will be announced eventually sometime today, so get ready! Have an awesome day, anon! Thanks for dropping by with this lovely message.

[disney-bnha-zine-blog]

I refresh my email like every 5 minutes I’m soooo excited!

Hahah, what a lovely anon. You don’t have to check your email every 5 minutes! Dawww, you are so sweet! We are all excited lovely anon, we all are. Keep an eye on the emails but don't over do it~ I wish you all the best luck

[disney-bnha-zine-blog]

Are you sending out acceptance/rejection emails at once or as you go?

Hello dear anon! Thanks for the ask. To answer your question, we are definitely not sending out acceptance/rejection emails as we go.

However, we might announce the results for artists & merch artists separately only because we might need just a little bit more time to judge writers. Basically, an artist will not receive an acceptance/rejection email before any another artist (same applies to writers and vice versa.) The results for the same categories will be announced around the same time. I hope this answers your question!

[disney-bnha-zine-blog]

Omggggg I hope I get accepted T_T I’ve never been a part of a zine before but I really want to be a part of this one because all you mods are so friendly and Disney and anime are my LIFE aaaaaa

Awwww!! Thank you so much lovely Anon. I hope you get accepted, too! Honestly, we would love to work with kind people like you.

Thanks for shooting us this lovely message. These types of messages always makes our day much more brighter! I wish you and everyone best of luck with their submissions! ^u^

PLUS ULTRA~!
