☀️ Application Tips 🌙

Applying to a fanzine can be a pretty nerve-wracking experience, especially if this could potentially be your first zine! This set of tips has been made in the hopes of easing any potential anxiety and making the application process smoother for everyone!

Please read on to find out more and see some cute little puppets!

Read the FAQ and guidelines carefully

The FAQ and guidelines explain the theme of the zine as well as what we’re looking for when it comes to contributor applications. Reading these will help strengthen your application when you come to apply!

Make sure the zine schedule matches your availability

Please verify you’ll be able to keep up with the zine’s schedule if you’re selected to contribute a piece for the zine! For this zine, once selected, you’ll have about three months to complete your piece, with check-ins every month. Life happens, and unexpected things can make us all busy at the last moment (and our mods will try our very best to work with you to get things sorted!), but please be mindful when applying to check that your availability matches with the schedule.

Step one: Follow the guidelines carefully when submitting your application(s).

Please pay careful attention when reading and answering the application questions to ensure that your application follows the guidelines and answers everything as clearly as it can. Applications will stay open for a month - there’s no rush if you need time to complete your application in detail! If there is a maximum number of samples, a word count range, or a specific theme requested on the application form, please make sure your application adheres to these so we can properly evaluate your application. If you’re unsure about anything, please feel free to ask, as our mod team is only too happy to help!

Step two: Make sure we can see your samples.

Once contributor applications open, we’ll be asking to see existing samples of your work so we can see if you’re a good fit for the zine! Please be sure to link specific examples of your work that you think fit the zine’s theming as well as the style and quality level you’re hoping to meet when contributing to the zine. Bear in mind the mod team are likely going to be looking at a lot of entries, so if you link to a gallery that has a huge number of examples, we might not be able to give a fair amount of time looking at the pieces that best showcase your work! These don’t have to be posted publicly on social media, but please ensure we can see them for the duration of the application period (e.g., the links work, the links aren’t set to private or followers only, and the links don’t expire before the application period ends).

Step three: Make sure your application samples fit the theme of the zine.

In this case, we’re looking for examples of your work featuring the DCA. The zine will primarily focus on canon-adjacent depictions of the DCA, with some slots available for AU content made by the AU’s own creator or with express given permission from the creator of that AU. Your application should ideally provide one or more samples depicting the DCA, with at least one of those preferably depicting the DCA in a canon-adjacent form or setting.**Canon-adjacent here doesn’t mean the depiction has to be biblically accurate, just that the design should not differ so substantially from what would typically be recognised as the DCA to essentially be a separate character. This fandom is intensely creative and we love and applaud the originality of the many different variants of the DCA, but this zine aims to focus primarily on canon-adjacent depictions, with a limited number of slots for AU content as well. Having canon-adjacent depictions of the DCA will massively help round out your application for this zine!

Step four: This one’s for the merch artists - please don’t apply with the same samples you’d use for a page/spot artist application!

Including actual merch designs for your samples helps a lot, as prior experience making merch is a massive advantage for a merch artist application!

Bear in mind, you don’t strictly need to follow all of these steps to a tee when completing your application - the mod team will try to accommodate where we can. However, it will really help your application to take these things into consideration!

And most importantly …

Step five: If you get rejected this time, please don’t let it discourage you!

Zines often get a huge number of applications vs contributor spots, and a lot of tough decisions (often taking hours or even days) will likely have to be made between several really good applicants.

Being rejected from a zine in no way means you’re bad at what you do, or in any way less worthy or skilled than anyone else. You deserve to be here just as much as anyone else does, and there are people who adore what you do, so keep doing it! In some cases, certain applications might fit the theme of the zine better, particular applicants explained themselves more clearly in their application, or it was just all in all an extremely close call with one lucky winner. So please don’t ever let a rejection email discourage you from trying, and bear in mind rejection happens to the best of us at some point!

We appreciate every single application we get, so good luck out there!

Job interview tip I got from a tiktok but it's genius:

If you were unemployed for a while, they're going to ask if you can explain the gap in your resume. Unless you were actually doing something cool & relevant, this is hard to answer in a way that makes you sound like a good corporate cog. So here's the best and infallible answer -

No you cannot, because you signed an NDA.

You now sound mysterious, desirable, worldly, experienced. They can't even really ask you more about it! Perfect.

Hypothetically if someone wanted to include their ability to schedule appointments, organize events and transportation, and meal plan and prep for their family on their resume how would they word that

We LOOOOOOVE the "how do I reframe unpaid labor on my resume" question. This is like Bitch bait.

Ok, so this sounds like you are an Organizational Specialist, or a Personal Assistant to a Head of Household, or an Organizational Consultant to a busy professional. List of responsibilities should include event planning, nutritional development, essential transportation, scheduling and booking, and administrative management.

Pick the corporate buzzwords that most fit with the job you're applying for, stare them directly in the eyes, and know that your unpaid labor for your family is VALUABLE WORK EXPERIENCE.

Here's more advice:

Are you a worker whose boss (or maybe even target of a political campaign) says a bunch of bigotrd/abusive/illegal shit to you, i highly recommend looking into your state and local laws on audio recording consent.

Bc if you live in a one-party consent state then auddio can be recorded in private conversations as long as at least One person involved knows about and consents to the recording (that one person can be the same person recording)

its a law im assuming is mostly used by bosses and cops and other bullshit, but you can use it to your advantage in meetings/conversations w bosses where you know your case is he said /she said of verbal abuse or other verbally based labor law violations.

its great and totally legal! my boss is currently really chill and i still turn on my voice recorder every time i get called to her office jic even though its only ever been abt wht shifts i can/want to pick up. highly recommend!

#my first organizer taught me this and its my favorite law #its not applicable in many states tho #nikanie #organizing tips

✧.* some job searching advice *ೃ༄

I haven't coded in many manyy days oops BUT I have spent that time updating my resume and writing cover letters to send to some of my friends who are helping me with internal referrals!

Here's some job searching stuff I learned:

Most people get interviews because of connections/friends

Ask anyone and everyone you can for an internal referral (ask nicely ofc)

Once they submit the referrals make sure you start researching and learning about the company and what they do

If they have a specific product, make an account and play with it

Make a list of things you like about the service and things you would change

Recruiters/Interviewers LOVE to hear what you know and think about the companies product it gives you a HUGE adv over others

I know it feels like a ton of work but trust me QUALITY over QUANTITY when it comes to applying to jobs. Do your research!

For those of you in the job search good luck and I hope you get that job you want! (´･ᴗ･`)♡

#progblr #codeblr #programming #coding #tech #resources #comp sci #studyblr #job searching tips #job applications #it sucks that studying for job interviews is like a whole other thing besides knowing how to like do the actual job #also sucks that it really is a who knows who game #applying just randomly with no referral will rarely get you an interview :(

I'm still trying to figure Vincent out. I want him to be freaky and bad to look at but still like. passably human and capable of surviving alone for a very long time. I've decided that while he can 'stand' like this it's not comfortable, and he cant walk like that. He can sorta shuffle on the two hands but his primary mode of ambulation is on all six hands with his leg dragging behind him.

Ive also decide he's a fancy lad who likes to dress all dapper. also Despite my best efforts to make him a muscle bound hunk with no fat on him, Big men sexier than muscle guys.

#idk. if anyone has monster design tips rhat they feel would be applicable id love to hear them #I want to avoid anything that is like. a recognizable skin condition real humans get or anything that would #open him up to infection. so no open wounds or sores. #Wrinkles didn't look right

Hello, just a question pertaining RPG's in tumblr, this is the first one I'm into in a long time, and I've noticed mods often save good characters for themselves and like don't even post them for other's to try and apply, they post the bios when they are already taken by THEM and rule out anyone who might have tried for said chara, my only question here is if being bothered by this (even if I don't even want said chara) makes me petty or is it justified anger?

Honestly, that's just them making their own space and playing the characters they're excited to play. If you're unhappy about it, you can make your own roleplay. It is a little silly to feel angry because someone on the internet developed a character/world for them and their friends with an invite to try out some minor characters and see how you fit in. You could always take those characters and make them well-written and amazing. You have no idea how good they might be under your guidance without trying!

If you feel strongly enough about it, you're always welcome to develop your own characters and world and roleplays. I know it sounds like a lot of work, but in the end, that's why they get the good characters. They did all the work to get where they are. You're not entitled to be part of random roleplays just because they exist. They aren't spiting you, they don't even know you exist. They're planning a fun party together, and you're standing outside the cafe seething because they got the cake they ordered ahead of time custom made for themselves.

Many times I see a fully fleshed out character in a roleplay application process it's because someone made them that way. They didn't come out of the keyboard as the perfect awesome character they are. They were just someone's pet project they put a lot of time and effort into. So they might appear to be the best character, but that's because someone loves them! That means any character, even the weird guy with only one line is capable of the same thing. Don't be afraid to try for a nearly empty character sheet, it's not a bad character, it's an opportunity to make a good one. The freedom to adapt and change them to suit you, and really express yourself. Once you love them, they'll become a good character too.

Hell, their characters may be from another roleplay entirely, just changed a little to suit this one. Imagine playing a character for years, moving them to a new RP, and someone you don't know gets mad because they wanna play your character. Kinda... weird right? And they wanna apply to take your character away from you? I'd be wheezing at the audacity.

So, my advice to you is to let that grudge lie very very deep until it rots into fertilizer, and the use that fertilizer to make your own garden to play in. Plant the seeds of character development and work on a character until it's a "good one" and make your own RP and invite people to do the same: expand on your world and make it even richer and cooler than it was when you started. It's a lot healthier as an approach, and you look 90% less like a fucko who got mad at someone for having fun the wrong way. Haha.

i love & live for your nailposting so i have to ask — do you have any tips on cuticle care??? i find that mine grow SUPER quickly and i constantly have to trim them back with cuticle clippers but i feel like they never…. Look Nice™️.

first of all THANK YOU and the 10 other ppl who like my nailposting. second, it's hard to give specific tips w/o knowing anything about your Bod, but general tips that are always applicable are just like. push them back frequently, esp when they're soft like right after your hands have gotten wet, or you've moisturized. also def recommend using a cuticle oil every once in awhile, daily if possible! you can homebrew a cuticle oil by just using jojoba and vitamin E, if you wanna be a little cheap abt it and/or you're sensitive to fragrances, Like Moi. (premade cuticle oil is generally Scented.) using cuticle nippers and trimming them is sick and I also do it every once in awhile, but keeping them Pushed Back and Not Dry is the first line of defense, I think! if you're snipping really often, though, it can actually make the regrowth a little Worse. edit: I ALMOST FORGOT about doing cuticle cleanup with a dissolvent. they make lots of kinds, I have a sally hansen one, it comes in a little blue bottle. For the dead skin that's actually climbing up the nail plate and sticking to it, you'd apply this stuff for a minute or so, and then scrape off the (newly softened) dead skin with a little orangewood stick/cuticle pusher.

#some people are scared of the cuticle remover gels but they're not scary #I think bc it says on the back like. Let Sit for 15 Seconds. and everyone's like WHAT HAPPENS AFTER 15 SECONDS #nothing happens to Moi. I leave it longer than that. just wash your hands when you're done cleaning up your cuticles #the oil is really the biggest tip for me like. I say that for every nail related fix #bc it's also good for the health of the whole nail #and yeah like. some people don't like the sensation of Pushing Back the cuticle? #so ik this may be just a Me thing but I don't mind it. so I push mine back ALL the time #It definitely seems to help keep on top of things #and then yeah when/if you do have scragglies that you need to snip.. snip snip bitch!! #nailposting #sergle answers #long post #cuticles for me are like. I didn't particularly think about them until I started painting my nails a lot #but they really fuck up polish application so now I CARE A LOT #so now it's become just a sort of Passive Maintenance

[moonscape]

my name change was rejected i need them to kill themselves

#''you need a solicitor to sign it'' you didn't say that on the government website you dumb cunts #told my mom i'll just do it unenrolled because i was misinformed about the process before sending the application and unenrolled is easier #but no she's arguing to do it ''officially'' and she's not taking no for an answer #tip: i am so fucking mad #they made me wait nearly three months just to tell me i was rejected. kill yourselves im dead serious #also. bug is humping my blanket rn. i just got home from swimming can i rest for five minutes before shit keeps happening

Going to melt of embarrassment. Went into a student job interview thinking the student's name sounded vaguely familiar but hey, it's a small school, it happens...only for the screen to reveal that IT'S MY FORMER STUDENT WORKER??? Like a person I hired and worked with for 7 months literally last year??? And not only did I NOT recognize their not-super-unusual-but-not-terribly-common name, I also read the resume they submitted that says, and I quote, "current vice president of the [college] associated student body" and I knew one of the reasons this student didn't return as a worker was BECAUSE their duties in student government were going to take up a lot of time.

And SOMEHOW I did not put this together until I was literally in a video interview, having sent several previous emails to set it up, during which time I never realized I was corresponding with someone I knew???

Anyway, hey, if you're ever looking at a job where you used to work and you left on good terms (including, for example, a message from your supervisor at the time that says "if you're ever looking for a job again, we'd love to have you back"), it's OK to reach out directly and ask! I didn't need to make this person go through this whole process when they're a known and well-liked entity. My only determining factor for them was whether their schedule would let them fit some specific shifts we needed covered.

#in my defense (there's not much of one) they didn't put their library work on their resume #and I guess I wouldn't expect someone who worked for us already to go through the normal application process! But still. Embarrassing. #work #job interview #job tips #original

Hi Bitches! My resume needs an update, which I've been working on, and I've seen a couple people on tiktok recommending resumeworded.com for doing that. Have you heard of the website, and do you have any thoughts on it? I don't really trust any modern ai, but surviving the job market is becoming more and more difficult, and I think we could all use all the help we can get

Haven't tried it, and uh... we don't really trust AI for that stuff either! Not just because we don't think it does a good job, but because once you input your information in an AI generator, it just... has it.

It's a lot more work, and it's hard, but updating your resume yourself or with another human is the safer road. Here's our resume how-to guide:

How to Write a Resume so You Actually Have a Prayer of Getting Hired 

We could be wrong, though! Anyone have experience with resumeworded.com?

Unleash Your Learning Potential: The Feynman Technique 🚀

Student life often comes with the challenge of grappling with complex concepts and information. The Feynman Technique, named after the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman, is a simple yet powerful method to master any subject, especially the trickiest ones. What is the Feynman Technique? The Feynman Technique comprises four straightforward steps:

Select a Concept: Pick the concept, topic, or subject you wish to master or study. It could be a tough textbook chapter, a complex theory, or a brand-new idea.

Teach It Simply: Imagine you're explaining the chosen concept to someone else—whether a friend, a family member, or an imaginary student. Use everyday language and real-life examples to make it as clear as possible.

Identify Gaps: While you explain the concept, you might stumble upon gaps in your knowledge or areas where you struggle to simplify it. These gaps highlight where you need to focus your learning efforts.

Review and Simplify: Return to your study materials (like textbooks, lecture notes, or online resources) to fill in those knowledge gaps and deepen your understanding. Keep breaking down complex ideas into simpler terms until you can explain the concept effortlessly. Why Does It Work? The Feynman Technique capitalizes on various effective learning principles:

Simplified Understanding: Teaching a complex topic in simple terms forces you to dissect it into its fundamental components. This clarifies your own understanding and ensures you grasp the concept at its core.

Identifying Gaps: When you struggle to explain a concept, it shines a light on areas of uncertainty or incomplete knowledge. This self-assessment guides your further study.

Active Engagement: Actively teaching and explaining a concept engages your brain far more effectively than passive reading or note-taking.

Repetition: Revisiting the concept multiple times during explanation and review phases reinforces your memory and understanding.

Effective Communication: Developing the ability to convey complex ideas in simple terms is a valuable skill that can enhance your academic and professional success.

How to Apply the Feynman Technique: Let's break down how to put the Feynman Technique into practice:

Select Your Topic: Choose a concept, theory, or subject that you find challenging or want to master.

Explain It to a Friend: Imagine you're teaching this topic to a friend with no prior knowledge of the subject. Use everyday language and real-world examples to make it accessible.

Identify Your Knowledge Gaps: As you explain, pay attention to areas where you struggle to simplify or clarify. These are your knowledge gaps.

Review Your Materials: Return to your study materials (textbooks, lecture notes, online resources) to fill in the gaps and deepen your understanding.

Repeat as Needed: Keep going until you can effortlessly teach the concept to your imaginary friend, using simple language and clear examples.

Test Yourself: To cement your understanding, test yourself by explaining the concept without looking at your notes or study materials.
