About

Re-spect: A Namgi Zine is an upcoming scrapbook zine about anniversaries and milestones, be it big events or little memories — from their tenth anniversary of living together to the first time they ate at a fast food restaurant at 3am.A line in Namgi's duet Respect reads:
"Re-spect 말 그대로 보고 자꾸 보는 거".This translates to:"Re-spect, like the word itself, it's to look and look again". This line references the word's etymology of "re" (again) and "spectare" (to look at).Our zine's concept focuses on memories Namgi have made in the many years of their relationship (canon or otherwise), memories we will create in this scrapbook-esque zine to fondly look back on.

About the Zine

What is a zine?
- A zine is a fanmade booklet/magazine filled with artworks and/or writing around a particular subject or theme. It usually comes with merchandise alongside the booklet, both of which may be digital and/or physical.What are the specifications of this zine?
- This zine will be 8x8 inches, wiro bound. The physical merchandise available will be prints, sticker sheets, and photocards as well as a washi tape and enamel pin if the stretch goals are met. The zine will also be available as a digital PDF; other digital merch is still tentative and to be decided.What does for-profit mean?
- For-profit means that all profits earned from the zine's sales will be equally distributed between contributors and mods. The profit portions of minors (ages 17 and under) and contributors/mods who would like to decline their profits will either be added to the profit pool or donated to charity.What charity will the profits be donated to?
- Re-spect is a for-profit project but should we decide to donate profits to a charity, the specific charity is yet to be decided but it would be an LGBTQ+-focused one.How much will the zine/bundles be?
- This has yet to be decided. We will release prices nearer to or at the start of our preorder period.

Content of the Zine

What is the theme of the zine and how will its content be formatted?
- The zine focuses on both small and big memories, but specifically milestones (e.g. first times) and anniversaries.
- The zine will be formatted to look like a scrapbook! Check here for references.Do pieces have to be romantic depictions?
- Nope! They are allowed, but pieces that are platonic or queerplatonic in nature are very welcome.Is NSFW allowed?
- No. This is a SFW zine.

Contributors

How many contributors will you be accepting?
- We will tentatively be accepting 22 page ("photo") artists, 2 collage artists, 4 merch designers, and 8 writers.
- These numbers do NOT include mods and guests. These are the numbers we will be accepting from applications.Why is your contributor count so low?
- We would like to keep this zine relatively small so it will be more affordable for our customers, we will have higher likelihood of providing free full bundles for all of our contributors, and we will be able to maximize profits (whether to charity or to contributors). We hope you understand.What kinds of pieces can artists make?
- Accepted artists may do either or both of the following: an illustration almost the size of the zine (max 1 per artist) or smaller illustrations that may be any of the specified orientations.What's the word count range for writers?
- Accepted writers will be creating pieces that are within 1,000 - 2,000 words.If I get accepted, can I submit an old work as my zine piece?
- No, we need your piece to be new and made for the zine. However, you are allowed to use existing WIPs and finish them for the zine as long as it has not been made public yet.

About the Zine

- Are the mods deciding on the charity or will contributors be able to choose as well?
Mods will be shortlisting a few charities we'd like to donate to then accepted contributors will vote for the one we'll proceed with :]- Why aren’t minors allowed a compensation?
Unfortunately, there are a number of legal factors that prohibit us from compensating minors, particularly child labor laws, which vary per state and by country. In situations where it would be legally possible, such as if a minor were to receive their payment by gaining permission from their parent or guardian, having us send compensation to their responsible adult also hosts its own variety of complications in the question of verifying permission and identifying information. Our priority is to maintain your confidential information (e.g., by avoiding putting minors in a position where they would be required to provide proof of identification to an internet stranger) and to avoid legal conflicts for all parties.
