Promotional art: A computer monitor shows two windows. The background window shows a photo of purple mandrake flowers. In the foreground, neon green text reads: >> System Query: What kinks/topics are NOT allowed? >> Due to local laws, explicit underage content is not allowed. For the sanity of the mods and their squicks, we also prohibit the following: scat, snuff, emetophilia, and any kink involving sexual gratification via animals or insects/bugs (monsterfucking is fine, of course!).

Promotional art: A computer monitor shows two windows. The background window shows a photo of purple mandrake flowers. In the foreground, neon green text reads: >> System Query: What kinks/tropes ARE allowed? >> Readers and contributors can reasonably expect to find obsessive tropes such as kidnapping, creepy behaviour, drugging, manipulation, Stockholm Syndrome, and dub- or noncon. We will also include topics such as gore, omegaverse, and genderbending if that's what our contributors cook up! >> For reader comfort, the final zine will feature trope/kink warnings in the index so specific pages can be skipped if necessary.

Promotional art: A computer monitor shows two windows. The background window shows a photo of purple mandrake flowers. In the foreground, neon green text reads: >> System Query: How will the zine be funded? What will be done with the leftover funds? >> As a nonprofit, pay-for-production project, we hope to gift each contributor with a full bundle after reaching our preorder goal. A free-to-read PDF will follow after. >> After production is funded and every bundle is shipped out, the remainder of our funds will be donated to Doctors Without Borders.

Promotional art: A computer monitor shows two windows. The background window shows a photo of purple mandrake flowers. In the foreground, neon green text reads: >> System Query: How much will shipping cost? >> We can’t give accurate estimates at this time for delivery to the United States, but international shipping will likely be around €15 for a full bundle, and less for a zine-only order. For Sweden, shipping will be cheaper, with the future possibility for local pick-up.
