Content

Pieces for this zine will focus on the romantic relationships between the women in the Persona Series. This means we will accept ships that are cross-game, ships including characters from crossovers and background characters, and more. We will accept ships involving Naoto. All of our mods highly respect every interpretation of Naoto (nonbinary, trans, genderfluid, or otherwise) but will be including a female-presenting interpretation of the character within this zine.We will not accept incest, adult/minor relationships, pedophilic content of the girls, relationships involving party members from Persona 3 shipped with party members from Persona 5.
We will accept ships involving Naoto, ships that are a P3 party member x a P5 female confidant, crack ships, and any WLW content pitches!
