☾ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) ☽


What does “Dead Dove” mean?Dead Dove is short for Dead Dove: Do Not Eat, a phrase used in fandom to indicate “what you see is what you get.” It is derived from a scene in the T.V. show Arrested Development where the main character opens a refrigerator and sees a paper bag with “Dead Dove: Do Not Eat” on it. He opens the bag and says, “I don’t know what I expected,” in response to finding a dead bird inside.Nowadays, fandom often uses the phrase to indicate that the fan fiction or fan art attached may contain dark, taboo, and triggering content. However, the original meaning of the phrase holds true.Blood Moon Rising will be a collection of dark, taboo, and triggering content, and what you will find inside is exactly as is indicated.Collection? Zine? What’s the difference?A zine (short for magazine) is a smaller project. Historically, zines were created by small groups of people who were often just a group of friends. Their projects were handmade and distributed in person. Nowadays, many fandom zines are themed, have application processes that require samples, and produce a physical product through printers.A collection is a larger project. Collections have a sign-up and vetting process, but creators are not required to submit samples or portfolios. The purpose of a collection is to include as many people as possible, regardless of their skill level as a creator or their previous experience with fandom events!Blood Moon Rising is a collection!Are there any restrictions? What counts as “Dark” or “Dead Dove”?>:] No restrictions. It’s going to be so dark you’ll need a flashlight.Dark tropes we expect but are not limited to are graphic violence, gore, rape/non-con, dub-con, adult/underage, graphic character death, body horror, incest, cannibalism, vore, toxic/abusive relationships, power imbalance/abuse of power, loli/shota, stalkers/stalking, yandere, corruption, and much much more.Not sure if what you want to create will fit in the collection?
