Masters of Zinejitsu - Elements of Sentiments FAQ

Hello, welcome to the Masters of Zinejitsu - Elements of Sentiments FAQ! We appreciate you checking here before sending an ask to our mod team. As the zine gets fully set up some links might be missing for the first few days, we appreciate your patience! We will also be editing it to add new information as it comes up. Strap in guys this is a long one.

What are Masters of Zinejitsu?

We are a collection of Ninjago fans who kinda just decided we wanted to make a zine one day. After a bit of stumbling around and a lot of brainstorming we eventually came up with the idea for Elements of Sentiments (as well as a couple other zines, stay tuned for those). Through a lot of trial and error we’ve been working hard the past couple months to get the ball rolling on this. We are very excited to finally see it come to fruition! Masters of Zinejistsu currently has 8 mods, with varying levels of experience, that handle various parts of the Zine. 

Who are the mods of the zine?

This section will provide a brief summary of our team, and will also link their mod intros as they are posted! While this is a numbered list these are of course in no particular order.

(@cable-salamdr) Cable (He/It) - Elemental Master of Organizing. Head of the mod team/discord server, and lead organizer. Is also managing the Angst group + the spot/asset artists. You can find its mod intro here! *link mod intro*

(@2cats1trenchcoat) Nyad (He/She/They/It) - Elemental Master of Socials. Head mod of the tumblr (and the person who will usually be answering asks/managing our posts). Is also managing the Comfort group. You can find their mod intro here! *Link mod intro*

(@captain-space-kin) Captain (They/He) - Elemental Master of Operations. Head of managing the zine’s day to day operations, and keeping everyone on track with the schedule. Is also managing the Crush group. You can find his mod intro here! *link mod intro*

(@jalluzas-ferney) Jal (She/Her) - Elemental Master of Submissions. Head of submissions/the applications. Will be doing the initial run down of applicants. Is also managing the Jealousy group. You can find her mod intro here! *insert mod intro*

(@nalascat) Nala (Any Pronouns) - Elemental Master of Formating. Head of the zine design/formating, and is also one of our discord server mods. You can find their mod intro here! *insert mod intro*

(@beegs-bugs) Beegs (She/Any Pronouns) - Elemental Master of Support. Assistant formatter, test printer, and general discord server mod. Is also managing the back-ups group. You can find her mod intro here! *insert mod intro*

(@youraveragedirtclod) Oliver (He/They) - Elemental Master of Web Design. Head of our website (which is still under construction). Is also a general discord server mod. You can find their mod intro here! *insert mod intro*

(@poopinmybabyfood) Keerthy (She/They/Any Pronouns) - Elemental Master of Security. Head of preventing AI scraping/art/writing from being in the zine. Is also a general discord server mod, as well as an assistant mod for the tumblr. You can find her mod intro here! *insert mod intro*

What is the topic + theme of the zine?

Elements of Sentiments is a shipping zine! So if you’re not a shipper, we’re not quite sure why you’re here lol. Each artist/writer pairing will be assigned a ship and a theme based on their preferences. As far as themes go, we have four of them:

 Angst - The ship going through a sort of emotional turmoil, whether caused by the people in the ship, or by an outside source. (Ex. Jay mourning Nya being lost to the sea).

Jealousy- One character in the ship being jealous of someone/something else. (Ex. Jay being jealous over Cole and Nya. Or Nya being jealous of an overzealous fan seeking Jay’s attention)

Comfort - The ship in question being or putting each other at ease. This could be doing an activity, physical affection, and more. (Ex. Cole and Geo making art together).

Crush - The ship pining for each other or seeking love. This can show love in ways like a first kiss, a date, asking out, and more. (Ex. Zane allowing Pixal to scan him).

Physical or E-Zine?

This is an E-Zine designed with printing from home in mind. We currently do not have the resources to print and ship out zines ourselves, however we know people like having physical copies of things. The zine will be formatted to allow for personal printing. We will provide a PDF of the zine for your convenience.

Does the zine include other items like merch?

Unfortunately no as we currently lack the resources to do this. This may change for future zines

Charity, for profit, or free zine?

This zine is 100% free!

Any specific requirements your applicants should meet?

We do have specific qualifications we’re looking for, we’ll break them down here by role.

Artist - We’re looking for artists who have experience rendering full pieces and who can do so in a timely manner.

Writers - Similar to artists we are looking for writers who have a clear grasp on prose and who can write in a timely manner.

Spot artists - Similar to artists, rendering smaller pieces throughout the zine to be used as page filler. The amount of work you’ll be doing is much less than our main artists.

Beta readers - As it’s hard to check for experience this one is mostly based on the honor system. We do prefer if you have a solid grasp on English as that is the language the zine will be published in.

Where can the zine schedule be found?

Our schedule can be found here!

Where is the zine hosted?

The Masters of Zinejitsu discord server as well as our personal website (which is still under construction) and this tumblr. The discord server is for contributors only, but non-contributors can stay updated via this tumblr and the website.

What is and is not allowed in the zine?

First and foremost we are not allowing any ships containing incest, or bestiality, and no minor/adult ships, commonly all referred to as proshipping. If a ship is commonly considered as a proship, it is not allowed. We are also not allowing OC ships or self-ships (however these are potential topics for future zines). Content wise we will also not be allowing explicit sexual content or extreme violence/gore. Keep it PG-13.

Ships we are accepting are Ninja X Ninja/Ninja Adjacent Character. We are counting character’s like Wu & Garmadon, the previous elemental masters, Morro, and of course the Dragons Rising kids as ninja. The ninja adjacent character must be relevant for at least one of the episodes they are in. An example of a ship we are accepting is Lloyd/Brad, as Lloyd is a ninja and Brad is relevant in at least one episode he’s in (sorry Darkley’s kids enjoyers we know y’all are starving for content). An example of a ship we are not accepting is Benthomaar/Blazey as neither of them are ninja. However Benthomaar can be used if shipped with a ninja.

Content wise we are trying to keep this zine as canon compliant as possible. Pairs are encouraged to make content that can easily slot over canon. We are allowing AU’s in the case of characters who have never met (such as Morro/Echo) or have not interacted in a long time (such as Garmadon/Clouse), or ya know just in the case that most of these pairings aren’t canon. However these AU’s must be as canon compliant as possible. For example, Morro/Echo cannot be in medieval times. Things like kissing, hand holding, cuddling etc are allowed. As is mild violence or blood, but again everything is to stay PG-13. 

We are also not allowing pieces to be about any content from Season 3 Part 2 or Monstrosity to avoid spoilers.

Don’t be afraid to ask a mod for clarification if you are unsure if a ship or pitch idea counts!

How many contributors do you plan to accept?

Well since we wanted 5 ships per theme, and we have 4 themes, meaning 20 ships, and then we have 2 people per ship, well thats *checks notes* 40 people. Wowzers! Yes we are aware this is a very large number of people (this is one of the reasons our mod team is so big). Contributors will be sectioned off into groups of 10 under each theme, with each group being directly managed by one of our mods (Captain for Crush, Leo for Comfort, Jal for Jealousy, and Cable for Angst).

When will applicants know if they’ve been accepted?

Applicants should know by around August 5th, as is stated by our schedule. This process is going to take us quite a bit as we have to sort through and assign 40 people a ship and a theme (and in some cases a creative partner). Our goal is to have it done as quickly as we can while being thorough. Applicants can expect an acceptance/rejection letter through their discord/email when the time comes.

What are the zine’s specs?

As is standard for zine’s we are making it 8.5’’X11’’. Art will be getting a full page (2,550×3,300 pixels), and then will be followed by the 1K word ficlet it’s paired with. We will also be making an A5 version to make printing easier for those outside of the US.

Where can you apply?

You can apply here through our google form(which will be posted June 21st! For the sake of convenience/organization we ask that applicants are willing to provide an email and their discord username. When acceptance letters go out a link to our discord server will also be provided. You should also prepare your example pieces, a list of your top 5 ships (or at least ships that you would be willing to create content for), and which theme you would like to do the most ahead of time. This is to make the application process easier for everyone.

Morro Summer Exchange 2025

For the second time ever, we are hosting the Morro summer exchange event!

Similar to last year (slightly changed due to a different host) it's open to all sorts of content creators and everyone will be paired up randomly based on preferences.

This years theme is "sightseeing", so any place or any activities done during or around Sightseeing like traveling are allowed!

If you're interested sign up here sign ups close on the 28th of June 2025

How does the Pairing up work?

I'll be pair everyone up based on the preferences you set in the Google Forms. The first priority criteria will be the preferred topics submitted, so pairs may end up as artist/artist, writer/writer, or artist/writer.

Everyone will be split into two groups. The first group will be the first up to create something to be posted by August 3rd. Then, the second group will use that to create a companion piece (can be a scene from a fic, a fic of that art piece, a response, a continuation, etc) to be posted August 31st.

What is the timeline?

June 14 – June 28: Sign-ups open June 29 – July 1: Pairing + Emails/DMs sent July 2 – July 5: Confirmations due July 20: First group checkpoint August 3: First group post date August 17: Second group checkpoint August 31: Second group post date

Where we will post?

You can post on any platform, as long as you share the link with us so we can share it with your exchange partner! We do encourage you to share it on our discord or tag us here on Tumblr!

Rules

All participants must be respectful of others and abide by any restrictions given with their assigned topic.

No hate allowed in any of the works, except as an exploration of those topics, and only if it does not violate the restrictions given on the assigned topic.

No adult content will be allowed, as the fandom has a wide range of ages and we wish to avoid asking for every participant's age during sign-ups. This means all content should be in the PG-13 range. However, you may choose to do an "adult version" of your work to accompany your main work but this must not be on the same post/fic without using something like the spoilers option on Tumblr and proper tags. We wish for everyone to receive and work with content they are comfortable with for the exchange event.

All content must be new and created for this event. No Al content will be allowed and anyone caught doing so will be removed automatically.

Any written media must be in English.

There are no rules on word count or art size/specifications, but we do encourage everyone to give it their best! No one likes receiving something that someone refused to put effort into :(

Any other questions? Feel free to drop by our discord or submit an ask to this blog!

We hope to see you join us this year!

Nin-Prov: A Ninjago Writing Game

Hello!!! I'm Nala and I'm here to announce that the Nin-Prov generator is up and running smoothly!! Which means...

Nin-Prov is open!

Now, what's Nin-Prov?

Nin-Prov is a writing game based upon Popslah fandom's Mprov, a play on the word improv.

You'll be given a pair of characters (romantic or platonic or whatever else- your choice!) and a collection of words. Your goal is to write a fic with that pair that uses all of those words in some way!

It's set up to be a fun way to write some more, with unlikely pairings and unexpected scenarios!

Here is the generator! Use it to get your Nin-Prov ideas, or even ask a friend for a pair and some random words! Anything counts in my book!

Want to add more words to the generator? I've got a Google form set up for suggestions. As of right now we only have about 200- we could have so many more... >:)

If you do write something, feel free to add it to the Ao3 Collection! I'd love to get a chance to read what you guys write!

Wanna join us for some group Nin-Prov games or just want to write with a few other people? Hop into the Discord! We'd love to have some more people to write with!!

I'm excited to see what people will write!!

[ninjago-events]

imagine there's a button you can press that simultaneously pays for your college education but kills/maims a dozen or so people you've never met. the killing part isn't kept secret and is in fact spun as a heroic thing. now imagine that government agents go to high schools and tell kids old enough to drive that they should push the button. now imagine someone stubs their finger pressing the button and years later demands a discount on their Jersey Mike sub because they pushed the button and if you react by flicking their stubbed finger that's bad because sometimes people stub their toes on doors. now imagine a dirt bike doing a sick backflip

[ninjago-events]

Hello hello!

This poll is just a quick interest check to see if anyone would be interested in a Lostshipping/Geode exchange. If your answer is yes/maybe, please take the time to quickly fill out a 3 question form (saying yes and filling out the form DOES NOT mean you're signed up, so dw if you're on the fence) FORM HERE

Even if you yourself aren't interested, please share this around! I'd love to start up a small event in the community. Also, if you're 18+ and want to help out on the event management side, just shoot me a dm!

[ninjago-events]

And the winner for the Morro spring event 2025 theme is Greek mythology!

Now that that's been decided, feel free to participate any time from March 1 to May 31, 2025 (any timezone)!

Like last year, this event will be chill and there is an informal sign ups where you can put your username down to "sign up" for a slot (or multiple slots!)

Participants will then create a work (or multiple if they wish!) that fits the specific theme item they chose. Anything goes--fics, art, gifs, cosplay, etc.

Posting time is any time from March 1 to May 31, 2025! Be sure to tag this blog or your post may be missed!

The goal is to try to have everyone do something different so we can end up with a cool set of works. The theme can be interpreted however you want, so you can take it literally or figuratively or metaphorically or whatever. (Basic example: if the theme is chess, the specific theme items would be the chess pieces--so black pawn, white pawn, black rook, white rook, etc, and everyone can sign up for different chess pieces).

Rules:

No hate (racism, transphobia, homophobia, Islamophobia, etc) will be allowed, except in the context of exploring those themes.

OCs, AUs, and other non-canon content will be allowed.

Please tag/disclose all adult content properly so we may do the same when we reblog it here (we will allow adult content but we strongly encourage you to keep it rated T as the Ninjago fandom contains a wide range of ages).

Any other questions or concerns? Feel free to drop by and ask us! This really isn't an event with a lot of strict rules as long as you have fun and respect others :)

And as always, come talk to us in the Morrotober discord server!

Hey everyone!

We have some news regarding the zine.

Sadly, one of our MAIN moderators will not be working with us anymore (PIXALMOD). As she is too busy atm. So the zine is being run by one person only atm! We will continue working on Volume 2 of the zine, but the dates will be moved quite a bit. We will let you all know when we're launching applications!

We are sorry for the inconvenience, and we promise we will be back soon!

I'm curious! I'm sure everyone else is too!
