if you're working on your application this weekend- definitely be thinking Rivals > Enemies! slight difference. i guess i would define the difference is that rivals tend to have some kind of commonality & competition at the center of the relationship, whereas enemies have difference and strife.

We've been asked a few times, so to clarify in case anyone else has the same question: writing samples do not need to be a complete story in the word limits. We're just looking to see your style- so a selected portion of a longer/much longer story is plenty!

introducing @guoldu.bsky.social, in charge of graphic design and some admin stuff- will be working with the visual and merch artists :)

salmon pink and orange flyer. circle on the left has text that reads "meet the mods" with niq's self portrait in the center.

"a masc4masc original zine. future buff volume 1. niq (he/she/???) graphic design & admin. guoldu.com. niq has been about 100 genders and keeps falling back on lesbian to explain away most things. his art is informed by culture, both inherited and built in queer community, but also mediocre ps2 games, weird theatre and never having enough of the specific flavor of sapphic media he’s looking for. her favorite masc lesbian in media is quan xi from chainsaw man."

Was made aware that the writing app required both file upload and links- this was not intentional and has been remedied 🫶

- What is your position on AI? No AI of any kind is allowed in our zines & no contributors who use it in their portfolios will be welcome to apply. If we're made aware of AI usage in the planning or creation of any works from any contributor, they'll be removed from the zine & permanently banned.

future buff zines @futurebuff.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

- What kind of merch will you be making? We're open to hearing pitches from interested contributors, but generally we'll be looking at paper goods- such as stickers, prints, bookmarks, etc. No wooden items, plastic items or rubber items.

future buff zines @futurebuff.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

- 'kay but what about women? The whole spectrum: trans women, women-aligned (self-identified) non-binary people, and ciswomen. Also! We're very open to characters who identify with lesbian as a gender itself

100

future buff zines @futurebuff.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

- How do you define masc? Butches, studs, mascs, toms- globally, a 'masculine' presentation can vary greatly with the gender norms of the region. as long as you would describe their gender presentation as masc within the guidelines of their culture & time-period, it's perfect for the zine!

100

future buff zines @futurebuff.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

- What are the rights for work submitted? All contributors will retain 100% control and rights to their work. We only ask for exclusivity until 1 month after orders have been shipped, after that point anyone can do whatever they wish with their piece, .

100

future buff zines @futurebuff.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

Ctd: That said, we will be looking for at least 1 previous sapphic work in your portfolio or sample images- so be considering that now!

110

future buff zines @futurebuff.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

- Do I need to be a lesbian to apply? We do hope this zine attracts many sapphics who want to create more sapphics! At the same time, anyone is welcome to apply. We will not ask your identity.

100

future buff zines @futurebuff.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

Ctd: Pre-existing original characters are welcome but should stand alone as a fully recognized character for the work in this zine, without reference to any other work outside of the zine, your own or otherwise.

100

future buff zines @futurebuff.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

- Can I submit fan art? You can definitely include some fan art in your portfolio, of course but this zine is for original works (made during the creation period, not pre-existing works) only.
