> Why Brazilian music?
We believe music is a universal language. Using music we can, at the same time, offer works that are relatable to an international audience, respectful to the source material, and introduce a little of Brazilian culture to the fandom world.> What does “Kazinho” mean?
That’s a Brazilian Portuguese special easter egg that will be explained on our socials! Keep your eyes open for several curiosities to come.> Can I sign up as a contributor?
Only Brazilians can sign up to participate in the creation of the zine. For this purpose, we’ll consider Brazilian anyone who has lived here for at least a third of their lives, is familiar with Brazilian culture, and is fluent in Portuguese. All the internal zine communications will be conducted in Portuguese. Anyone who doesn’t meet these criteria but still wants to participate in the zine can contact the zine moderators directly to have their case reviewed.> Is this zine for profit? How will it be sold?
Yes, this zine is for profit and it'll be sold through an online platform (probably Big Cartel but others might be analyzed before a final decision is made) in virtual format only (PDF).> Are minors allowed to contribute to or buy the zine?
No, this zine is for people over the age of 18.> Will platonic BKDKBK works be present?
This zine focuses on the romantic relationship between Izuku and Katsuki. There might be a few pre-slash works, but each one will be analyzed on a case-by-case basis.> Will the zine have NSFW works? If so, what will be the top/bottom dynamic?
This will be decided based on the interest check. If there’s enough interest, the zine will have NSFW works. The top/bottom dynamic will be decided by each contributor and will in no way be influenced by the mods.> I have more questions that aren’t listed here! What can I do?
You can reach any of the mods, their socials are linked to the mod page. You can also DM the zine socials or send an anonymous question on CuriousCat.
