FAQ

1. What is this zine?
A zine dedicated to RadioApple/AppleRadio genre-based literature written by members of the RadioApple Library Server and featuring collaborative artwork from artists both inside and outside the server. This zine will focus on the romantic/sexual relationship between Alastor and Lucifer from Hazbin Hotel.2. Who can contribute?
Writers: Members of the RadioApple Library Server (prior to June 30, 2026) and who are 18 years or older.
Artists: Priority will go to members of the RadioApple Library Server (prior to June 30, 2026) and who are 18 years or older. The remaining artists spots will go to outside artists selected after writer’s recommendation or the application process and who are 18 years or older.3. How many contributors will be accepted?
Writers are automatically accepted when they apply as the zine is intended to showcase the work of the server's writing members - We had 39 Writers sign up for the zine.
Pinch Hitter for the Writers will be RAL Members that joined AFTER the June 30, 2026 date and are 18+ years old.Artists who are members of the server will also automatically get in and have priority matching over external applicants. Some artists outside of server membership may be declined if there are not enough writers to match with artists.4. What will artists be doing in the zine?
There are 4 possible positions within the zine for artists:
1 Cover Artist (selected by the Mods via applications)
Page Artists - these artists will be matched with a writer to draw the “book cover” of their story. This is a collaborative effort between writers and artists.
Spread Artists - these artists will be drawing filler pages such as “Employee of the Month Wall,” "Entrance of the RAL,” and more…
Merch Artists - will make digital merch for the zine.
Graphic Novelist - This is where an artist (priority given to a member of the RadioApple Library Server) will create a story in a comic or manga style 3-5 pages long. Artists can choose to work with a writer if they wish, but specifically for this genre, it is the choice of the artist to collaborate or not (the total number of Graphic Novelists accepted will be determined after Interest Checks are complete).For more information, please see the Contributor Guide tab within the Guidelines.5. Will this zine be physical or digital?
This zine will be digital only. Due to the changing shipment rules in the EU and the changing tariff fees, the Lead team decided it was best this zine be digital only with digital merch.In order to purchase the zine, a survey will be opened during June 1 - July 31, 2026 for customers to show PROOF OF DONATION to one of our charitable funds. Then on Aug 1, the zine will be emailed to those who donated.6. Will this zine have merch?
We plan to have digital merch like desktop wall paper, digital prints, phone wallpapers, emotes, etc…7. Will this zine be for-profit or for-charity?
This zine is for-charity. Customers will donate directly to one of our endorsed foundations and then show proof of donation within a survey to receive their zine copy.8. How will contributors be compensated?
All contributors will get a free copy of the full bundle and an additional merch treat made by the Lead and Mod team.9. What is this zine’s rating?
Story/Writing: This zine is rated E - Explicit by AO3 guidelines. While not every story is required to be graphic or sexual in nature, we would like to allow our contributors to explore topics within the Explicit rating. This includes: sex, graphic violence, topics typically/often discussed within the Hellaverse, some types of Dead Dove: Do Not Eat, etc… However, due to the nature of this being an open publication, we will NOT allow the following topics: rape (can be hinted at but not explicitly shown for other relationships outside of the main ship), non-consentual acts (especially between our main couple), zoophilia, pedophilia, incest, or any other topics deemed unacceptable that could be categorized under the heavier aspects of Dead Dove: Do Not Eat, by the Mod/Lead Team. If you have any questions, please contact a Mod to get clarification on any specific topics.When the zine is published, each story will include the RATING and any TRIGGER WARNINGS/TAGS underneath the title of the fic to assist with the reader's experience.Artwork: This zine will allow drawn pieces to be within the M - Mature standard by AO3. This is due to the fact that we will NOT be splitting the zine between sexual dynamics. It easier to avoid in written work via a tagging system, but not so easy for drawn work. Due to this, we are asking artists to please refrain from showing specific dynamic preference in their artwork and to keep the work from being sexually explicit. We will allow for elements such as gore, violence, cannibalism, etc… (typical visuals seen in the canon-verse or something seen in a horror film).10. Will other ships be allowed?
The main focus of any piece should be RadioApple/AppleRadio. We will NOT allow any other characters to be mixed in with Alastor or Lucifer as the CURRENT relationship. We will allow hinting of previous relationships that are no longer together (i.e. Lucifer and Lilith or Alastor and Vox are common) and other ships as side stories/characters (i.e. Charlie and Vaggi, Angel Dust and Husk, Niffty and Baxter, etc…). Regardless, the focus of the fic must be between Alastor and Lucifer.11. Can zine pieces focus on canon and alternative universes (AUs)?
Yes! Since the theme of the zine is to explore stories via different literary genres, it will naturally open the door to writing/drawing Alternative Universes. We encourage writers/artists to explore whatever story comes to them via their assigned genre.12. What do you mean by “literary genres”?
When applying, writers/artists will be asked to choose between the following genres:
Realistic Fiction
Romance
Fantasy
Horror
Mystery/Thriller
Sci-Fi/Dystopia
Historical Fiction
Action/Adventure
Graphic NovelsMods will be making final decisions on who gets matched with which genre, but writers/artists will be able to indicate their top 4 genres to write/draw for during the application process. Contributors DO NOT have to have solid ideas during the application process, simply indicate your preferred genre to work with.For more information about the genres, please visit the Genre Information tab within the Guidelines.13. What is the Mentorship Program?
Within the RadioApple Library Server, we have started a Mentorship Program where writers seeking to improve their skills are matched with an experienced writer to learn more about the writing process and how to improve their skills. This zine is an extension of this program and both mentors and mentees can continue their work in the zine, as well as receive direct feedback an advice on their zine application portfolio.Our Mentorship Mod, FurbanLegend, will continue her work with the program within the zine. Additionally, Jr. Mods will be accepted to learn more about zine and project making, as shown by example within the Leadership team via Artemis, our Jr. Lead, learning how to make a zine as a lead with her mentor, Luna, one of our Project Leads.14. Are we required to write a specific sexual dynamic?
No! Since the book will NOT be split between dynamics, writers are permitted to write any of the following:
RadioApple (Alastor!Top / Lucifer!Bottom)
AppleRadio (Lucifer!Top / Alastor!Bottom)
Vers/Switch (Both could either top or bottom)
Non-Sexual Piece (no sex or sexual acts at all)
