FAQ

What is a zine?
A fanzine or zine is a non-official publication made by fans. In the form of physical books or digital PDFs, it often contains fics and art for a specific fandom/ship/event.
What is Good Boy: A Hybrid Bakugou Zine?
Good Boy is a free digital-only fanzine centered around hybrid Bakugou. It will contain both fics and art and be divided into two sections for NSFW and darker adult themes.
What are hybrids?
For the purpose of this zine, hybrids are defined as part human and part animal. The ratio of human vs animal mixed in a hybrid does not have to be 50/50 and can be as human or animalistic as you like as long as there are both.
For example, a werewolf would not be considered a hybrid as it can be a full human or full wolf, but a wolf hybrid would count. This also means that some “fantasy” creatures’ anatomy would count as hybrids, such as centaurs or mermaids but will be considered as horse or fish hybrids respectively.Do the Mods have zine experience?
While our Mods are relatively new to modding zines, they all have similar applicable experience to running a zine. Bees has been a zine contributor and beta multiple times with experience in managing social media platforms and formatting books; Lineart draws horny Bakugou; Lysa has been a zine contributor and beta with experience in modding a server. Additionally, the zine will be made free and digital-only to minimize risks that may come with a zine.
Who can contribute?
As Good Boy: A Hybrid Bakugou Zine will contain explicit sexual material, all contributors must be 18 years of age or older. No minors will be allowed to participate.
Will ships be allowed?
All ships will be allowed and are encouraged! As long as Bakugou is a hybrid, the piece can feature solo Bakugou or Bakugou in a ship.
