FAQ
Please note this section may be out of date as it has not been a priority to revisit it
Q. Is this zine only going to be about sun signs? It would be awesome to have a section on moon signs and rising signs as well. This could be like, the ultimate Pokemon-themed astrology handbook. :D
A: That was exactly our intention with this project! We hope to be a beginners guide into astrology, so while we won't be going super in depth, we hope to become the "ultimate Pokemon-themed astrology handbook".
Q. Where will the zine ship from?
A: This zine will ship from the United States.
Q. Will anime characters be included, or will it only feature the games? Also, will trainers be the focus or the Pokemon?
A: We hope to feature a wide variety of characters from the Pokemon series. Whether it be the trainers, the Pokemon, from the anime or from the games!
Q: Will this feature only Western astrology or will other forms of astrology be present in the zine e.g. Chinese astrology, Vedic astrology?
A: This zine will feature Western astrology. Please understand that we would love this zine to be big enough to encompass all kinds of astrology, but due to the topic being as large as the skies themselves - we have to focus our efforts on only one type of astrology.
Q: I’d like to contribute as a fic writer, but I’m not sure how I’d write a fic with an astrology theme
A: Regarding written content, we have split our writers into two categories: Astrology writers and Fic writers!Astrology writers will write the informational text, the "what makes a leo a leo" content. Fic writers will create content specific to a certain element. (ex. You were assigned the Fire element, so you decided to write about Charizard).
Q: Which charity is this zine supporting?
A: We'll be donating proceeds to Room to Read, an organization that helps girls' literacy and education!
