Frequently Asked Questions
What is a zine?
A fanzine or zine for short (derived from "magazine") is a fan-created, fan-published booklet, in this case one which contains art and fanfiction. These projects are not officially endorsed by rightsholders.What does IZKT mean?
IZKT (or DKBK) refers to the romantic pairing of Izuku Midoriya and Katsuki Bakugo, specifically with Izuku as the top partner and Katsuki as the bottom. In NSFW works, this is a peg-and-hole situation; in SFW works it is a little more nebulous, but it entails avoiding depictions of Izuku with stereotypical uke characteristics or Katsuki with stereotypical seme characteristics.Are Izuku and Katsuki allowed to be portrayed in dynamics other than strict IZKT?
As we are a fixed-dynamic project, we will not be allowing this content for the zine. We are not negative towards other dynamics and will not judge for content created outside of the zine, but all contributions for the project must be strictly IZKT.Can I apply as a contributor?
We will have contributor apps open for this project, yes! If you are reading this before or during the application window, you may find information about dates and application forms on our twitter or bsky.When will the zine be available for purchase/download?
We have a schedule available and will readily communicate any updates via our social media platforms.
