This zine is to promote the ballroom dancing of the Victorian era, which was widely popular during this time. It will also promote the lovely outfits worn to these types of events and their beauty.If this will be a purely digital zine or a for charity physical zine will depend on the interest check. This project will be PG-13, or rated T for Teen. It won’t contain any kind of NSFW and aims for any violence to be absolutely minimal.This zine will be a collaboration between writers and artists. Additionally, This zine, due to the nature of its theme, will contain ships, however, we won’t allow anything widely considered to be problematic. If you have any doubts about that contact the mods.

Turnabout Ballroom
Q: What is a fanzine?
A: A fanzine is an unofficial publication generally made by non-professionals featuring art, writing and other similar mediums. The themes can be almost anything that its creators enjoy.Q: Will there be NSFW content?
A: No. This is a PG-13 zine that will accept minors.Q: What characters will this zine feature?
A: Anyone from The Great Ace Attorney! We can't wait to see what characters people will pitch for.Q: How will contributors be compensated?
A: If this ends up as a free, digital zine, there will be no compensation, though we can promise a fun time. If this ends up being a physical, for-charity zine, contributors will at the very least receive a free digital bundle and if profits allow, a free physical bundle too. We will try our hardest for that to be the case.Q: Will mods be allowed to contribute?
A: Yes, but it will be optional and they won't take any spots away from regular contributors.Q: Will there be guests in this zine?
A: Yes, but again they won't take any spots away from regular contributors.Q: Can I apply for more than one position?
A: Yes, but you will only be accepted for one.Q: Who is allowed to apply?
A: Anyone who is at least 13 years old and follows the guidelines.Q: Will follower count matter in application?
A: Absolutely no. We believe that follower count doesn't reflect skill and are fully open to include smaller creators.Q: Do I need previous zine experience?
A: Absolutely not. We welcome anyone no matter how much experience they have. We also encourage you to ask any questions you may have to the mod team.Q: What type of ships will be allowed?
A: After some discussion within the mod team, we have decided to allow this zine to show platonic and romantic bonds. We will not be permitting ships that are adult x minor (anyone under the age of 18) and that are considered problematic.
