Guidelines
Contribution guidelines
Contributions have to feature Larry/Laurice as their main character. Additional characters (Phoenix, Miles, Elise, Pearl, Maya, etc.) are of course allowed, as long as they don't overshadow him.
Larry/Laurice can be depicted as any age, from his Class Trial self to his Spirit of Justice self. Writers are allowed to call him either Larry or Laurice in fics.
This zine is safe for work; NSFW/suggestive content and gore/extreme violence are strictly forbidden.
This zine aims to be enjoyable to a broad audience; as such, we cannot allow romantic ships or heavily canon-divergent content.
Contribution & zine specs
Artists will be asked to draw (at least) one finished illustration or comic. A background isn't required, but the piece has to be polished: no doodles or sketches. Pieces have to fit the size of the zine (A5 portrait for single pages, A4 landscape for spreads).
Writers will be asked to write (at least) one fic between around 1,000 and 4,000 words.
Contributors will be allowed to submit several contributions if they want to and can make it fit into their schedule.
We won't claim exclusivity on the created pieces; contributors will be allowed to post their pieces individually on their personal accounts as soon as the zine is released (but not before, save for previews), sell prints of them, etc.
Application & portfolio specs
Writers must send 2 pieces of writing (or excerpts from longer works) in their application. Ace Attorney fics are preferred but not mandatory.
Artists must send 3 pieces of humanoid art in their application; Ace Attorney fanart is appreciated but not mandatory.
For both positions, the level of finish of the portfolio pieces must be close to what the applicants plan to do for their zine piece.
Applicants can also send a link to a portfolio or art/writing account as an add-on so the mods can get a better overview of their work.
Applicants might be accepted in both positions if they want to.
During the creation period, mods will communicate with the contributors through a Discord server; we require all applicants to have a Discord account or be willing to create one.
If you have any questions regarding these guidelines and specs, feel free to contact us! Our Tumblr allows anonymous asks.
