F.A.Q.

1. What is an anthology?
An anthology is a curated collection of visual art and written works. Out of respect for traditional zine culture outside of fandom culture, we’ve decided to call this project an anthology rather than a zine.
2. What is this anthology about?
This is an anthology focusing on Diluc Ragnvindr and Kaeya Alberich as muses and models for a fashion-AU.
3. Will this be available in physical/digital format?
Both will be available for purchase.
4. What are the book specifications?
It’s estimated that the book will be about 9.75in x 7.25in, 56-60 pages, and perfect bound.
5. Is this project for profit or charity?
This will be a for profit project; all contributors will be compensated for their work! All contributors are guaranteed a free physical copy of the art book AND merch, regardless of project revenue! Additional profits will be split between contributors.
6. What is the rating of the project?
This is an R18+ project. We kindly ask that all contributors and supporters who purchase the anthology be of age. The project is rated R18+ for suggestive clothing/poses, partial nudity, and potentially explicit written content. In other words, this zine is NSFW.
7. Is this project KaeLuc only or is LucKae allowed?This project is dedicated to Kaeya & Diluc and their romantic relationship in any form. Our team is partial to KaeLuc, but we’re not going to say no if our contributors wish to show us LucKae action.8. Other than contributing, how else can I support the project?
At the moment, you can support us by following @kaelucsins, and following our future contributors on their twitters! Thank you!
9. Are you affiliated with MiHoyo in any way?
No, this project is not supported/sponsored/affiliated with MiHoyo in any way. But, depending on how you see it, we are officiated. ;)
I don’t see my question here, how can I contact you?

CONTRIBUTOR F.A.Q.

1. How many contributors will be featured in the anthology?
This will be an intimate (read: small) project. Based on the results of our interest check, we estimate 14 Page Artists, 3 Fic Artists, and 3 Writers.
2. When will contributor applications close?
May 1st at 11:59 PM PT. Please refer to our timeline. We will also tweet an announcement, so please be sure to follow our twitter @kaelucsins!
3. What are the expectations for contributors?
Page Artists: 1 to 2 full page illustrations
Fic Artists: 2 to 4 smaller, background-optional illustrations (quarter page minimum) to accompany a writer’s piece
Writers: 1 written work submitted as a Google Documents file at least 2.5k word in length with a 3k word limit (max).
4. Do I need previous zine/anthology experience to apply?
No experience is required for contributors. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. Our experienced mods are happy to help!
5. Are collabs allowed between artists and writers?
Yes, please apply with the partner contributor. Applications will be reviewed based on their content. Please make sure your partner's name and twitter handle matches the one they apply with to ensure your applications are paired properly.
6. Can the art pieces focus on just either one of Diluc or Kaeya?
Yes. However, there will be very limited slots for these pieces. You must be willing to collaborate with another artist who will draw the other character. Both pieces must be coherent in theme.
7. Can I apply for more than one position?
Yes. Please submit an application for both artist and writer. Your applications will be reviewed separately.
I don’t see my question here, how can I contact you?
Feel free to hit up our CuriousCat with any questions pertaining to this project and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.

Hiya, I’m Aki. I love Diluc, and so does Kaeya. Kaeluc gives me strength and I would love nothing more than to gossip about them with the maids at Dawn Winery. I haven’t participated in a project like this before, so this will be my first! I can’t wait to see and read all the beautiful work that our contributors will bring to the Genshin community! Looking forward to working with everyone (´。• ᵕ •。`) ♡
