The phrase 'hikyō eki', or 'secluded station', is the Japanese language name for railway stations that are isolated and not used often. We have adopted this name to support our theme: the 'unnatural' world.The unnatural world refers to the umbrella term used for different beings and concepts that have supernatural, paranormal, or otherworldly origins. This includes demons, vampires, curses deities, and more.This zine will come in digital and physical form. This zine will feature both NSFW & dead dove content, and will be tagged appropriately. The physical zine will be a printed book with a special sleeve that comes with physical merchandise (prints, sticker sheets, charms). The digital zine will be an extended version of the physical zine, featuring longer written pieces, comics, and digital merchandise (icons, wallpapers).

What is a zine?
A zine (short for magazine) is a digital or physical anthology of art and writing from various creators. Supporters of the zine usually contribute to the production of the physical zine and any additional merchandise. The profit that remains after production will be given to charity for this project.+Is this zine for profit or for charity?
The profits from this zine will be donated to a charity that has yet to be decided by the mods! We received a lot of suggestions in our Interest Check and will be looking for an legitimate organization that will truly benefit from the profits from this project.+Will the zine be shipped internationally?
International shipping will be determined/announced at a later date.+How old must I be to apply?
Contributors must be at least 18 years old by the time applications close.+What is NSFW?
NSFW (or 'not safe for work') is slang for content that may contain graphic violence, nudity, profanity, pornography, or any potentially mature subject matters. This zine will feature only NSFW and dead dove content. SFW content will not be featured.+What is 'dead dove'?
Dead Dove refers to the well known tag 'Dead Dove: Do Not Eat' (or abbreviated, DD:DNE). The purpose of the tag is to inform the reader that a fanwork depicts "tropes that might be viewed as problematic".For this zine, any and all dead dove tropes, themes, and ships are allowed. This is also not restricted to just sexual content; violence and gore are also accepted in this zine.+Can I create content with characters that have other gender presentations & identities (trans, fem, nonbinary, etc.)?
Yes! All versions of all JJK characters will be accepted in this zine.+What is the 'unnatural world'?
The unnatural world can refer to anything from vampires to deities to creatures. Some examples of elements in this theme include:VampiresWerewolvesCurses (JJK or otherwise)Gods & GoddessesZombiesDragonsKitsuneDemonsHaintsAny other supernatural creatures, folklore, stories, themes, etc.If it doesn't exist in the real world, it goes for this zine!+I have more questions…
