Heart's Desire
A Free, Open, Digital KiriBaku(KrBk) Zine
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is an OPEN zine?
A: An open zine is just like any other zine, but everyone who applies will be accepted (with some exceptions *) - this means no stressful wait to see if your application will be accepted.
This type of zine is great as a 'first zine' experience!Q: The info and socials say 'KRBK' (top Kiri) - is 'BKKR' (top Baku) allowed?
A: YES! Both are allowed - Mod Aki has truly no preference (switching is also allowed and all dynamics will be tagged in the end Zine)Q: If I'm already accepted - why do I need to apply?
A: We are trying to keep this Zine as close to a 'traditional' zine as possible; most other zines will have an application process. Think of this as good experience in putting together an application!Q: What's the difference between an open zine and a bang?
A: There will be at least 1 digital pdf and some digital merch produced at the end for everyone to download & enjoy <3Q: Why no Problematic section?
A: The Mod team is one person - formatting the finished zine(s) takes a lot of time. If the Interest check says 'yes' to a NSFW section (in a seperate download) Mod Aki is not confident she would get all 3 Zines done in time for release.----0----Have any more Questions?

Mod Aki
Hi everyone - I'm Aki / Akiwrites / Akitombo
I'm super excited to be solo modding this project (basically to see if I can) - I am a Writer mod normally but I've been training to do most other mod duties (mostly organizational, social and formatting bits) and I wanted to see if I can do a zine on my own.The only mod expertise that ISN'T really in my repertoire is Art modding - I'm not a digital artist and have very VERY limited experience with that side of everything, however I will try my very best to help if an artist needs it.A special big thanks to VintageHoneyBees telling me the zine graphics were cute and filling me with confidence!
