Given the subject matter, this zine was quite angsty. Our content guidelines kept it accessible for a mainstream audience — thus, canon-typical levels of violence, blood and such were allowed, as were all headcanons regarding the characters' sexuality, romantic attraction and gender identity. For the NSFW add-on, rougher violence as well as explicit sexual content was allowed.Additionally, we worked with content warnings on every piece to make sure our readers stayed safe and comfy while enjoying our work.What was off limits?
Very graphic and triggering content like gratuitous violence/gore/torture, main character death and detailed on-screen self-harm was not featured in this zine. For the NSFW add-on, "problematic" kinks like incest, non-con, minor/adult relationships and bestiality were off limits.Where and when can I buy this?
