An upcoming cookbook zine based on the many idols of Ensemble Stars

about

Niki's cookbook is an upcoming unofficial cookbook fanzine centered all around cooking!
It will contain art, writing, merch all based off food, and self-made recipes that are specifically themed around various units/idols/groups of Ensemble Stars
The zine will be both digital and physical and split profit/charity!

faq

What is a zine?
A fanzine is a cohesive collection of different creators’ fanworks together in published/digital format.
What do you mean by cookbook zine?
Exactly what it says! Unlike normal just art + writing zines, this zine will also be a cookbook, with recipes created by contributors that are specially themed after characters/units!
What kind of recipes are you looking for?
Recipes that are specially themed and created for the idols/units/groups! With special decorations, colors, etc. This also extends to canon dishes in Enstars (like the dishes from the recent Ani-pop campaign, or Niki's miracle cola).
How can I help?
Spread the word, fill the interest check out, apply when applications are open, and buy the zine! Any help is appreciated <3
Is nsfw allowed?
This is a completely SFW zine. There will be absolutely no NSFW. This includes gore
Are ships allowed?
Ships are allowed, but must not  take away from the overall  theme of "cooking" and "food". (E.g. your ship cooking  together is allowed, an image of your ship without/with barely any food in it is not allowed). It must not be the main focus, and must follow the content guidelines that are outlined in the information document.
Is there an age limit to participate?
16 is the minimum age requirement! If we find out that you are under this limit, we will have to remove you from the zine.
How many contributors will there be?
There are currently 52 people on the team
Will anything be provided for contributors?
All contributors will definitely receive a full digital bundle. If the funds allow for it, every contributor will receive at least a physical copy of the zine. If all goals are hit, full bundles will be provided for all contributors.
