FAQ

What does "found family" mean?

A found family, or family of choice, is typically a relationship between people who create deep bonds based on various things such as shared experiences, mutual care, and understanding. These families are typically in addition to or a replacement for their blood families.

How many contributors will be accepted?

We're looking for around 15 artists and 15 writers!

✧✧✧

Are there any guidelines for zine works?

Haven is a hero-focused gen, SFW zine. All contributors will be asked to follow this guideline for their final zine pieces.
Gen refers to content that has no romantic relationships, or does not focus on romantic relationships.
SFW refers to content that is "safe for work," or is suitable to be viewed in a formal environment or by children.

How will applications work?

Applications will be conducted based on blind judging, allowing for the elimination of subconscious bias towards more well-known creators. Submitted works should contain no identifying information.

We'll be asking for three of your best works. Of these, at least one should feature BNHA characters so we can judge your characterization and portrayal of BNHA.

Works should be submitted through Google Drive or another anonymous platform; please do not use any site with your username attached, as it will impair our judging process.

You should make sure to remove identifying information from your submission (Google Docs name, AO3 username etc.) but don’t worry about your work itself being potentially recognizable. You can create new work if you’d like, but it’s by no means necessary. Samples should be tagged as you would tag a finished fic. Any potential trigger warnings you deem appropriate should be included at the top of any samples you send, and any applicable Archive Warnings (as found on AO3) should also be included.

Writers:
Samples should be between 1k and 3k words.

Artists:
Samples should be completed works, preferably character focused.
