About Us

Cherry Limeade: A Sasharcy Zine is a collaborative fanzine dedicated to one of the fan favourite ships, Sasharcy which features Marcy and Sasha. We aim to explore the bond as well as the development of these characters throughout different stages during the show. This Project is brought to you by 14 amazingly talented moderators as well as various artists and writers. All proceeds will be going to Care for Gaza!

Failure to do so will result in being dropped from consideration in the zine (please refer to the specific guidelines applications under the section you are applying for for more details).

Page Artist Guidelines:- Three examples are required! We are accepting example links from: Deviantart, Artstation, Google Drive, Tumblr, Instagram, and Twitter.

- Two examples must be Amphibia related!
- Two examples must be full illustrations with at least one character and a detailed background. We will be critiquing your work based on your composition, color work, character detail, expressions, posing, and storytelling.
- We heavily encourage but do not require one of your examples to be focused on Sasharcy, as this is a Sasharcy zine.

- Art portfolios are not required but highly encouraged! Accepted portfolio formats are: Google Drive, carrd, or a professional portfolio website.
- There is the possibility to volunteer to illustrate spot art for writers’ fics, on top of your designated page art. This is entirely optional, but will require cooperation. If you are unable to complete the spot art, you are required to notify a mod and the writer you collaborated with.
- If you are unable to meet the hard deadlines for the project, you must notify a mod for an extension. Failure to communicate and/or meeting the extension deadlines will result in being removed from the zine as a contributor.
- General rules apply! No NSFW, proship, or mature content will be accepted and submitting such will result in an automatic blacklisting.

At least two examples are required to be fic excerpts between 500-1500 words.
- One example is required to be a full completed fic, with no word count limit. It is heavily encouraged but not required that this example be 3,000 words, to match the zine word limit.

- Writing applications will include a section for pitching fic prompts for the zine, with a minimum of two pitches being required. We are aiming for the full scope of the Sasharcy timeline, from pre-Amphibia to the epilogue, so please do not be afraid to include variety.
- For pitches, Sasharcy being the main focus will be a requirement. If you would like to include other characters or even sneaky nods to Sashannarcy, this will be allowed so long as it is not the focus in your pitch/fic.
- Canon divergence is allowed, but canon-typical pitches will be prioritized. Any AUs that fully take place out of canon, such as an Owl House crossover AU, will not be allowed.
- General rules apply! No NSFW, proship, or mature content will be accepted and submitting such will result in an automatic blacklisting.
