The text reads: I thought a lot on how to proceed and I decided it would be most fair if I left the choice to each contributor individually.

Initially I thought that <20€/pp would be too little to distribute. However I know how dire things are right now and even if it isn't a lot, if the money could help out, I'd be more than happy to. I know that regardless of whether it will be donated or paid out towards the artists it'll go back to the community.

It took me some time to read through all of them, but they were all so so good. I wish I could host a 200-people-anthology haha Seriously though, I really hope to do this again someday, maybe with support from others as well, so I can feature more than fifteen creators.

I'm sorry about that, my mailmerge add on seems to have messed up the names on some of the first lines.

Big big thank you to everyone who filled out the interest check. 💖 You may have noticed me having to meddle with the back end a bit during the last two months, because I've expected maybe 100 submissions over 30 days, not more than 250 over 48 hours haha

Interest
Overview

Almost 400 unique form submissions.
A graphic of a bar chart showing two metics: 118 people interested in supporting the anthology and 367 people interested in participating in the anthology.

Pricing
Responses

A box plot ranging from 5 to 35 USD with the median value at 15 USD and an interquartile range of 10 to 20 USD. Three outliers at 40, 50 and 60 USD.

Text below it reads:
10-25 USD
Not final, will largely depend on final anthology size.

Opinions
Regarding Physical Prints

A graph showing two bar charts. Left a bar chart titled "Interessted in a physical copy" with a rough split of ~60% yes, ~30% maybe and ~10% no. Right a bar chart titled "Physical > Digital?" with a rough split of ~50% yes, 25% maybe and 25% no.

Text below it reads:
Since TRANS* 2025/26 was planned as a digital anthology only, it will continue as one (though physical copies are a possibility for future editions :D).

📣 Schedule Update I have extended the application time by moving the start date forward (end date remains unchanged), so you can get your application in early if you choose to. :) More data from the interest check below.

Timeline
Application Period Extended

previously: 01.05.2025 - 01.06.2025
now: 21.03.2025 - 01.06.2025

The application period has had its start date moved! The end date remains **unchanged**.

Take your Time
This means you will have two months instead of one month to fill out your application. I will not be looking at applications until after the 01.06., so please take as much time to fill them out as you need!

Why?

I got everything done ahead of schedule, so I figured you guys might appreciate the extra time. :)

I have amended the schedule on the website to reflect the change above.

Who, what, huh?
The project is looking for 15 artists interested in creating digital illustrations, sequential art, or mixed media artwork.

Second page of the booklet. The page is titled "Timeline". The text reads:

Interest Check 23.01.2025 - 14.03.2025
The interest check helps me determine how many people are interested in both applying to and supporting the project.
Guidelines and scope may be adjusted based on the results.

Applications 01.05.2025 - 01.06.2025
The anthology will be open for applications during this time. A total of 15 contributors will be chosen. Please make sure to read the submission guidelines carefully.

Submissions 01.08.2025-20.11.2025
The given timeframe for contributors to work on their pieces. Artists are required to submit progress for two check-ins.

Sale 12.12.2025-12.01.2026

Third page of the booklet. The page is titled "FAQ". The text reads:

Q: Can I apply even though I am not trans?
Yes, you don’t need to disclose your identity in your application.

Q: Can I include characters that aren’t trans in my piece?
Yes, though the main focus of your piece should be your transgender oc. It doesn’t matter if said character is out, pre-transition, or gender non conforming. Cis characters may still appear as background or supporting characters.

Q: What type of submissions are accepted?
Any visual art, be it illustrations, comics, 3d, traditional art, mixed media or something else.

Q: Do the characters have to be human?
No, any anthropomorphic characters will be considered.

Q: Will there be pins / prints / merch?
Not at this time, sorry.

I don’t have the capacity for organizing and coordinating more contributors/formats that what I have already planned for at the moment.

Questions?
