Update! Thank you for your continued patience! 1/3

Hi everyone!

Thank you to those who have been reaching out for an update. We're sorry to say that we still need a bit more time to review the submissions and make our decisions. With almost 800 submissions in total, we have to do multiple rounds of review to make sure we're giving a fair and balanced shot to everyone who submitted so we can make this zine the best it can be.

Deathless Violets editorial team here with a quick update on the zine! Originally, we’d expected to have our final selections made in time to send out acceptance emails this week - however, it’s looking like we’ll be sending those out a little closer to the end of the month.

Can I submit fanart/fanfiction in my portfolio? Yes, that's okay. The zine is for original art and characters, but for showing your previous work, that's totally fine.
