FRequently asked questions

What is Staycation?
Staycation is a GEN, SFW BNHA zine focused on the dorm life of Class 1A. Who thought it was a good idea to let twenty chaotic, superpowered teens live together? Certainly not us, but we'll still reap the benefits.
For Profit or For Charity?
Staycation is a for-charity project. All proceeds will go towards Bottom Line, an organization dedicated to helping students from lower-income backgrounds.
How many contributors will you be accepting?
24 artists, 8 writers, and 6 merch artists will be featured.

What about Mineta? Or Shinsou?
The mods have decided that we will assume that Mineta has been dropped from the hero course and Shinsou has transferred in his place. Please create accordingly!
Will ships be featured?
Nope! As this is a gen zine, all relationships must be strictly platonic.
What is Sabbatical?
Sabbatical is our mini-zine focused on the lives of the staff in the faculty dorms. It will be available for purchase as a digital add-on during preorders.

Hi, I'm Madalyn! This is the fifth zine I've moderated, but it's my first BNHA zine! If you can't already tell, I love Deku and want to protect the baby at all costs. I think Class 1A is just so much fun, and they deserve to let loose a little, which is why I decided to host this zine. I can't wait to get to work!

hi, I'm Sophie! I'm a newbie to zines but I've been a huge fan of BNHA for a while, so I'm super excited to get involved. I'm the self-proclaimed #1 Bakugou fan and one of my favorite things is to see is him and the rest of the class interact outside of school, training, and fights. I hope you all will love to see it as well!

Hi, I'm Hope and I think BNHA should switch to being a slice-of-life series so all of the kids can take it easy :) and luckily this zine exists so everyone can showcase them doing just that! I love art and creating and have spent the past few years helping organize projects like this so I'm extremely happy to share my graphics with you all!
