What is a zine?
A zine is a fan-made, unofficial booklet that can contain art, stories or photos based around a series, theme or ship.What is Sex Pollen?
Sex pollen is the general term for any naturally occuring byproduct of a plant or creature which, when ingested, brings about a state of extreme sexual arousal. Victims tend to become irrational and desperate to find relief by any means necessary. This makes them a potential danger to their peers so long as the pollen is in their system. In some cases, the plant or creature will provide this relief itself, often for the purposes of procreation.Who can apply for this project?
Anyone 18+ can apply for this project when applications open on July 28th!Will there be content restrictions?
Sex Pollen, by nature, tends to create scenarios of dubious consent. That said, there will be NO explicit Rape/NonCon in the main zine. We will also not feature Lolisho, Vore, Scat/Piss/Emeto, Gore/Cannibalism/MCD, Graphic depictions of self-harm, Underage NSFW, Sexual ageplay, Incest, or Beastiality.Depending on the results of our Interest Check, there may be a cautionary digital add-on featuring darker content. Should this add-on be made, an additional list of what it will/will not feature will be added.Are minors allowed in the zine?
All mods and contributors MUST be 18+ to participate in this project. Should any mod or contributor be found to be lying about their age, they will be removed from the project immediately.This list will be updated as the project continues. If you have any questions not addressed here, you can send them to our Neospring!
