INTEREST CHECK OPENS IN:
Tales of Hawkins, as the title may suggest, is a project set to reminisce about some of the many stories of the cast of Stranger Things. Each season brought new characters, villains, plot lines, and thrills. To commemorate them all, we want to dedicate each season a separate section in the zine to really go down the memory lane. We want to experience the joy of the characters growing up again, and we would like to take you with us.

Ah, nostalgia. I can't wait to bring this project to life!

What is the rating for this zine?
Tales of Hawkins will be a SFW, T-Rated zine.
Is this a for-profit or non-profit zine?
We are currently open to both and we are going to wait for our interest check to conclude so we can determine which route will be the best for this zine.
How many contributors are you looking for?
We are currently looking to have around 50 artists, 7 merch artists, and 10 writers. This amount does not include guests. The numbers may change depending on the results of our interest check!
Can I apply for more than one role?
Creators can apply to as many roles as they wish during the contributor application phase, however, they can only be accepted for one role. The mod team will be responsible for picking the role that best suits the contributor. Each application will be judged separately!
