CONTENT GUIDELINES

:bulletgreen: Please keep the gore, and foul language to a minimum. I don't want a magazine that readers wish was censored.
:bulletgreen: No explicit sexual content.

Be sure that the theme is clearly shown on your pages. It is what connects all the worlds in each issue.

THEMES
The themes are broad on purpose in order to allow the creators ample room to interpret them into their world. The sky is the limit!

Think of what the theme means in your world and use it to further give readers insight into what your world is about. These are chances to delve into the species cultures, landscapes, characters, plot points etc...

For example, if the theme was 'Art'... you might tell how your species draw using pens that literally draw in the air... while another creator might delve into why a culture views art as a forbidden skill... another might focus on a character who uses art as a magical ability... one might tell how it was a lost picture a character found that led them on a journey to uncover a lost city...and still another might showcase wall paintings that their species use in order to document history and tell legends.

The beauty of this is you don't know what the other creators are going to do...how cool is it when the final magazine is released and all the different interpretations come together and you see just how different (or alike) the worlds are!

PROMPTS

Prompts are little fun side themes that are completely optional. You can only use ONE page for this if you choose to do it.

Only worlds that have done an formal introduction into the magazine can participate in prompts (meaning the first issue you are in you cannot do the prompt)

Remember to place your logo on this page as well!
