MODERATORS
Creation Rules and Guidelines
Fanworks must be centered around SEEC ESC-APE games and all relevant works. Pieces should focus on including celebratory elements, or otherwise reflect/build on memorable scenes throughout the games.
All ships and non-ship configurations are allowed.
All submissions should be PG-13 so that everyone can enjoy the fanzine when it is released. If you have concerns about your submission falling within the guidelines, you can discuss the idea in our Discord server with others beforehand or ask the mods for approval.
Please take on only as many entries as you can handle. We do allow more than one entry per person, but your first entry must be prioritized. Collaborations count as one entry per member.
Plagiarism or blatant disregard of our rules will result in one's work being removed from the collection.
In case you need an extension at any point, please send a request in the Discord, and make sure to include the reason and the extra time you need to finish your work.

Frequently asked questions
Here are questions we've received about the project. The list will be updated with all inquiries made on Twitter or Discord for the sake of easy access to all participants.
"Will you allow contents for untranslated game like Uyrh?" — Yes, we welcome all submissions for all games in the ESC-APE series.
"Will you allow works in languages other than English?" — Yes, we welcome all creators in the community to submit their works and do not want to limit it to just English-language.
"Will this be a spoiler-free zine?" — No; spoilers will be allowed due to the plot-heavy nature of the games. However, we will place spoiler warnings as needed so anyone who has not yet played or completed certain games will be able to skip those pieces and return to them when ready.
"Are non-ESC-APE games allowed in the collection?" — Your main piece should be ESC-APE related, and you can submit your non-ESC-APE piece for showcase in a section dedicated to other SEEC games.
"Do I need to submit a portfolio to become a participant?" — The only requirement is to be a fan of SEEC ESC-APE games! However, we would appreciate if you could include your portfolio in the application to help with arrangements.
