FAQ
(1) What is Sweet Passion? Where does the title come from?
Sweet Passion is a first-come-first-serve fanzine centered around the ladies from Identity V! This zine is created to give special appreciation to the female cast of the game. Little trivia: the title of this fanzine is inspired by Amy Rose's theme song from the Sonic series ("Sweet Passion"). Applications are taken by "first come first serve", and are semi-open; meaning any skill level can apply!(2) What kind of content is allowed?
Any content that fits the theme of the zine is allowed! Trans headcanons are also allowed! Please keep in mind, however, that this zine will be appropriate for all-ages...meaning, the zine and its pieces will be Safe For Work (SFW)! Please view our contributor guidelines on the directory for more information! At this point we have received all contributor's pitches. We look forward to showing you everyone's hard work!(3) How old do I have to be to create a piece for this zine?
All contributors should be 16+ at the time of publishing.(4) How does this zine work?
1. You will register for the zine through an application. Please be sure to read our updated guidelines.
2. You will receive an e-mail if you are approved to join the fanzine, along with a link to a discord server! The discord server will have channels dedicated to constructive feedback and more!
3. Voila! Create your piece!(5) Will anyone be rejected? How do background checks work?
Rejecting someone from an open-call zine is the last thing we want to do. However, sometimes it is necessary to keep spaces a little safer from potential bigots.Background checks will be simple checks over an applicant's provided social(s) to ensure the safety of everyone involved in the fanzine. Most importantly, applicants with a concerning history of harassment or abuse will not be accepted into this fanzine.Additionally, this zine is first-come-first-serve with a contributor cap. Meaning, anyone who applies after the contributor cap has been reached will unfortunately be rejected from the project.(6) Do I need experience to apply?
You do not need to have fanzine experience to apply to this zine as a contributor! This zine is welcoming to beginners in fanzines and beginner artist/writers, too--as long as you can fulfil the requirements for the project, you are likely to be accepted!(7) Can I apply if I am blocked by a mod?
Yes! Simply being blocked by a mod won't impact your ability to be a part of this zine. Oftentimes, being blocked isn't personal.(8) Why did the carrd layout change?
I wanted something a little easier on the eyes! Please let me know if anything looks funky or is hard to read.

Head | Eph/Andru (he/thou)
Hello! My name is Ephraim/Andru! I'm in my 20s and I go by he/him pronouns. You can find my twt here! I created this zine for two big reasons: I love the girls of IDV, and I want more people to have a chance at creating for zines! This will be my first fanzine since 2015. Since then, I have ran successful gift exchanges such as the Postman Secret Santa (moderator, 2022) and the IDV White Day Exchange (admin, 2023). I also ran the AntoDrew ship week back in 2022. My favorite IDV Ladies are Annie, Ada, and Margaretha <3
