CURRENT STATUS: Preorders Open! Bigcartel here!
Aggravate! is a canon compliant fanzine centered around the platonic relationship between Alhaitham, Kaveh, Tighnari, and Cyno from the game Genshin Impact.The zine is a for-charity physical zine with physical merch items. The charity has not been decided yet, but will be decided soon.You can find information about our mod team here!
Is this zine physical or digital?
This zine is a physical zine with a digital version. It will be A5 with roughly 80 pages.What is this zine's theme?
We are looking for canon compliant depictions of Alhaitham, Kaveh, Tighnari, and Cyno's relationship.Will this zine include other characters?
Yes, creators are allowed to feature other characters, as long as the focus remains on the four.Will this zine include ships?
Ships are not allowed to be the main focus of the piece. Ships can be implied, only if they can be justified through canon.Will this zine include NSFW content?
This zine will have a PG13 rating. This means that some swearing might be used, but other than that, there will be no NSFW content, including blood and gore.How are you spelling "Alhaitham" in fics and content?
We know that there are multiple different spellings going around. In order to remain consistent, we will be using the Genshin Impact ENG spelling, "Alhaitham" and will be making sure that the content is standard across the zine.How old do you have to be to participate?
You have to be at least 16 years old. If you are to receive any form of monetary compensation you need to be at least 18 or have explicit parental permission (and receive your compensation through them).Is this zine for profit or for charity?
This is a for-charity zine. Please look out for an announcement about what charity we will be donating to!What will the compensation be to contributors?
Every contributor is guaranteed a free PDF copy of the zine. If we make enough money, then contributors may be offered a free bundle or physical copy of the zine.Are AUs allowed?
We are not allowing AUs for this zine as it is canon compliant, this means everything must take place in Teyvat. Headcanons are fine! As long as there is a reasonable possibility of it happening, that is fine to include.If no AUs are allowed, can we darken the skintone of the characters?
We would like to strongly encourage this. It is important for POC representation, and it makes more sense for Sumeru characters.Are you looking for mods/intern mods?
We are not at this time. Thank you for your interest.When are contributor applications opening?
Contributor applications have been closed. Thank you for your interest! Please look out for updates on production.
