FAQ
What kind of content will be in the zine?
Pound Zero is for adults, by adults. All content within the zine will be NSFW and all characters depicted within will be 18+, regardless of their canon age, featuring Bakugou in his pro hero years or an AU where he is appropriately aged-up. In addition to not featuring any underage content, the zine also does not have any incest or noncon.
The zine will accept all Bakugou ships or solo-pieces, as long as the focus is Bakugou. This includes m/m ships, m/f ships, ships with other pro-heroes, polyships (OT3s) or multi/orgy, Bakugou as a ‘top’ or ‘bottom’, Bakugou x monster (such as tentacles, dragons, demons, Sludge villain, etc), rule 63 or fem!Bakugou, trans Bakugou, Bakugou selfcest, Bakugou from different AUs, or any other variation as long as all the characters depicted are 18+ years old and not incestuous.
What is Pound Zero’s theme?
Pound Zero takes place in the BNHA canon universe, in the future where Bakugou is the pro hero Ground Zero (a beta hero name for Bakugou Katsuki). The zine itself is meant to parody a fan-made R18 zine for Ground Zero in that universe.
Will there be a digital version of the zine available?
The zine will be available to purchase in four packages: 1) digital copy only, 2) hard copy only, 3) merch bundle, which includes both digital and hard copy versions of the zine plus the print and 2 button set, and 4) limited merch bundle, which will include everything in the merch bundle plus the limited titty mousepad.
How will profits be handled?
The zine is for-profit, and all contributors will receive equal and fair payments for their contributions. Artists and writers will each receive a free copy of the physical zine + merch + digital copy (plus free shipping), as well as a base payment of $25 per contribution. After break-even has been reached, all profits will be divided equally among all members based on their contributions. Details will be given to those selected to participate.
Will there be any SFW content?
The cover and the merch will be SFW, yet suggestive, but all content within will be explicit. The twitter account as well as all promotions will be kept SFW and censored.
