From the Interest Check:
Have you considered expanding the word count allotment for writer contributors? I noticed submissions must be 1k-2k when they open, which is a little short for many writers (in my experience as a writer and contributor). Would you consider going to 2.5k or 3k?
We'd love to depending on interest! Higher word counts result in higher page counts, which increase our project costs, so we'll increase the word count based on our IC responses—that means you should help us share the word 😉 (pun intended)

Hey! This looks super cool, but I was wondering if you could go a bit more into how this concept is going to work and the kinds of AUs that may be included in it? I’ve read all the available information and it still seems kind of vague to me so I’d love to have a little more context if possible :)
Of course! Our goal is to feature writers & their work, so each writer will be paired with a spot artist who will draw elements of the writer's work to life. Our formatting mod will then use this to decorate the writer's piece so it stands out on the page!
Page artists will also be paired with a writer's AU. Rather than draw scenes from the story itself, these pieces will function as snapshots in that AU world: for example, if the writer's AU features Mage!Annabeth, perhaps the page art would show Jason, Leo, & Piper engaged in a different magical battle, or perhaps Nico simmering a cauldron, or even a map of the magical world.
In terms of specific AUs, we leave that up to our writers! Upon acceptance, our writers will pitch for different AUs & our mod team will select them. We're aiming for something fantastical (think fae, magic, or dragons) & we're sure our writers won't disappoint. If you've got specific fantasy ideas for our writers to consider as they pitch, want to check whether your ideal AU concept would be acceptable for this project, or have any other questions, please feel free to email us at unwoundzine@gmail.com!

Is this zine going to be strictly Percy-centric or PJatO/HoO-centric, or will it extend to TKC and MCGA as well?
Hello! This zine will mainly focus on characters and content from Percy Jackson & the Olympians, and Heroes of Olympus. Elements of other Riordanverse series (Trials of Apollo, Kane Chronicles, Magnus Chase, any crossover books, etc. may be included but will not be main features.
Thank you for your question!

Will you be accepting spot artists separate from page artists? Thank you! This zine idea is so fire
Yes! The Fates have set aside 3-5 contributor slots in the zine for spot artists specifically.
We're so glad you're excited for Unwound! Please share our interest check to make the project happen in this universe and the next.
