    All work is due by January 15.
    (To submit, email it to me)



    GENERAL:
    1. The work can be from any Zoids-verse (anime/battle story/whatever) or even an original world, so long as there are Zoids or Zoids characters in it.
    2. Any type of publishable work is welcome.
    3. Preferably new work. Old work will be accepted, but if space becomes a problem priority will go to works made especially for the book.
    4. There is a limit on colour pages, so these are reserved for art and photos. If there are too many submissions for the pages, priority will go to those who submitted earlier, and those with work made especially for the book.
    5. No porn.
    6. Course language and violence is accepted, but don't go overboard. :\
    7. The book will be A5 (14.8 x 20.9cm / 5.8 x 8.3"). Art, comics and photos need to be at 300dpi to print (1824 x 2554px for a full page).
    8. No profit will be made from the book. The cost of the book will only cover printing and shipping.
    9. Need to pull out? Let me know so you don't get any grumpy emails when deadlines arrive.
    10. Need more time? Let me know so you don't get any grumpy emails when deadlines arrive.
    11. By signing up as a contributor, you are giving me permission to publish your work in the Zoids fan anthology only (you still keep all rights to your work).
    12. Any questions? Want some help? I'm happy to help. If you're unsure about anything please get in touch with me; I don't want anyone to slave away on a 10 page comic only to have the pages be too small to print.
    13. SIGN UPS CLOSE DECEMBER 15, 2010. SUBMISSIONS DUE BY JANUARY 15, 2011. Email submissions to zinkymomo@gmail.com

    ART:
    1. Minimum dimensions for art are 1824 x 1315 px (this will be a half page picture - A6 in size). A full page picture must be at least 1824 x 2554 px.
    2. If your art will be black and white/greyscale let me know so I can reserve coloured pages for the people who need them.
    3. You can use the page templates here.
    4. Submit as jpg, png or gif.

    COMICS:
    1. Preferably in black and white (there is a limited number of colour pages, so I'd like to reserve these for art and photos).
    2. If you require colour, let me know and I'll see what I can do.
    3. Comics must read left-to-right.
    4. Page templates can be found here. Please use them so the sizes are correct for printing.
    5. Submit as jpg, png or gif.

    FICS:
    1. Please have a beta reader check grammar/spelling before submitting. I don't want to have to fix pages of spelling errors by myself.
    2. Submit as rtf, txt or pdf. (I always have formatting errors with docs :\)

    PHOTOS (Custom models + Cosplay):
    1. There is a limit of colour pages so these are reserved for art and photos. If there are too many submissions for the pages it will be on a first-come, first-served basis (or some will be printed in black and white).
    2. Must be at least 300dpi to be printed. At least 1824 x 2554 px for fullpage, and 1824 x 1315 px for half page.
    3. Include the name of the custom or the character you're cosplaying.
    4. If you like, include a short description.
    5. Submit as jpg or png.

    OTHER:
    1. If it's not listed and it's something that can be printed it is probably okay to do!
    2. If you want to do something as a loose extra (ie: bookmarks, prints… something that will come with the book) let me know and we'll see if it's possible.
    3. I'll give you specifics on how to submit once I get your signup.

    COLLABORATIONS:
    1. Want illustrations for your fic, someone else to write the plot for your comic, or to work on an image with someone else? Check out the collaboration board to find someone to team up with.
