HEAD MOD

Hello! I'm a nerd!Ajax advocate at heart and I love reincarnation and soulmate stories the most. There's something about the red string of fate and the sense of inevitable destiny that will always get to me. I write for different fandoms every once in a while but I always go home to Chilumi. Looking forward to everyone's creations!

Annuities (she/her)

GRAPHICS MOD

Hi! I'm annuities (yes, after the accounting term). I've been writing fanfiction since before I was old enough to be doing it, and I've come up with at least one reincarnation prompt for every fandom I've been in. Happy to finally use my business school knowledge for good, and to be a part of this project <3

Lore (she/her)

ART MOD

Hi, hello! I’m Lore and I’ve been bouncing around fandom spaces for close to 15 years now (!!!), with admittedly varying degrees of public involvement. Currently in gacha game hell which means you can find me occasionally screaming and/or dumping art on twitter about Genshin and Honkai Star Rail—but mostly it'll be about Chilumi. EXCITED TO HELP BRING THIS PROJECT TO LIFE!!! o7

Shikaichi (she/her)

WRITING MOD

Hello! I'm Shikaichi, a passionate Childe simper and Chilumi shipper. I love writing fan fiction about them; how they can be almost anything always impresses me. My favorite fan fiction genre is fluff but I like angst too—if I don’t need to kill any of the main characters.

Olivia / learistat (she/her)

NSFW WRITING MOD

Hello!! I'm Olivia/learistat and I'm so excited to be a part of this project! I've been writing fanfiction off and on for about 2 years (not counting my teenage years)! I actually first got into Genshin years ago by seeing Chilumi art come up on my twt and was intrigued enough to start playing, and I've been hooked ever since!

FAQ

1. Can I submit for both NSFW and SFW contributor applications?Yes, but you have to file separate entries of the application form.2. I don't write/draw Chilumi. Can I still apply?As long as you have written/drawn Childe or Lumine separately, you are welcome to submit a response of the application form.3. How will you evaluate the submissions?We'll do blind reviews to ensure that we will be able to review your application in the most objective way possible.4. Will you have digital merch to accompany the zine?Currently, we only have a separate compilation for SFW and NSFW submissions.5. Do you accept any genre?We are open to accepting angst, crack, etc. Any reincarnation themed fic or artwork, we can accept—provided that there are no dead dove themes!6. Can I apply both as artist and writer?Sure! But similar to the separate SFW and NSFW applications, you'll have to submit separate forms for writer and artist. So, for example, if you want to write and draw for both SFW and NSFW compilations, that would mean submitting a total of four (4) applications. This is to help us properly evaluate your work.Good luck!
