Avis Alternata – Application Guidelines

Review these guidelines as you choose the samples and concepts you'd like to include in your application! Specific instructions are included in the application form.

The application will ask for:
Creator Info (name, contact info, etc.)
Creator Role Interest (solo/co-creation, story/page art, cover artist, etc.)
Code of Conduct Acknowledgment
1 - 2 Pitch Concepts (see below)
Art or Writing Samples (see below)

Make sure that your Crow AU meets the Project Guidelines BEFORE you apply!

If you are in any way unsure if your AU qualifies, send us an ask or email avisalternata@pm.me before you apply! Applications with ineligible AUs will not be considered.

Be detailed when describing your pitch concepts.

This project prioritizes balanced representation of AU types! As you may have seen from our interest check results, a lot of creators are interested in similar concepts. Make sure your pitch concept highlights the unique details of your idea - when in doubt, more information is better!

Co-Creation vs. Story Art Collaboration

Co-Creation: Two individuals collaborating in the same medium to create a single work within zine guidelines. Examples: two writers create a single 5k fic, or two artists create a single-page comic.

Story Art Collaboration: An artist/writer pairing where the artist creates a full page illustration inspired by the writer's fic.

You may apply either as a co-creator team OR a solo creator - not both. If you are interested in creating story art, or having your story illustrated, please apply as a solo creator. Matches will be facilitated after the contributor team is finalized.

Works must be created originally for this project, not reused, repurposed, or reposted.

It is okay to pitch concepts that use existing OCs, world states, or series, as long as your zine concept is a standalone concept. It is also okay to have pre-existing notes, or to pitch an idea that you have been noodling on for a while.

You should not have started the creation process in earnest prior to acceptance into the zine.

If you have any questions about the application process, your AU concept, or anything else, send us an ask or email avisalternata@pm.me!

Artist-Specific Guidelines
Samples of all ratings are allowed. Three samples are required.
All samples should be from the Dragon Age franchise.
Samples in the style you intend to create for the zine are preferred. If you're applying with a comic concept, show us comics you've created before!
At least two (2) samples should be fully colored with a background. Simple backgrounds (anything more detailed than solid color) are allowed.
At least one (1) sample must include an Antivan Crow character. Preferably a main character from one of your pitched concepts, but this is not required.
Samples do not need to be published/shared, but the application does not support direct file uploads. A link from gDrive, Squidge, or another hosting platform is acceptable.
A portfolio link is highly encouraged, but not required.

Artist Pitch Concepts ask for:
If you are ONLY applying to create story art, you do not need to pitch any concepts.
Type of art (single-page illustration, single-page comic, multi-page comic)
Expected rating
Whether the work will be generic, platonic, or ship/romance-focused
Primary Character(s) and Pairing(s)
Description of the AU: Be as detailed as possible - the more info, the better! We are looking for a diverse representation of AUs, so tell us what makes your concept unique and distinct from other AUs of the same type.
For canon-divergent AUs, please clearly describe the aspect(s) of canon divergence.
Optional: a thumbnail sketch of your concept

Other Artist Info:
Artists may be accepted to create up to two (2) pieces: an independent concept + a story illustration, two independent concepts, or two story illustrations.
The cover artist will create two (2) full page illustrations. Cover art cannot be explicit, and pitched concepts should represent the theme of Antivan Crow AUs more generally.
Due to the cover art concept limitations, the cover artist may be allowed to create an additional interior page art with a more specific concept, if they wish.
