CrowsAce
They/them, aro/ace/pan, 28Hello! I'm Crowsace.
I run my own dead dove servers and help moderate others. My favourite character is Lucifer 💖 and perhaps most of your are familiar with my dead dove stories.
I've explained why I wanted to make this zine, and why I picked this charity - it means a lot to me that you're showing interest. I encourage anyone and everyone to apply and share this (as long as you're 18+ - minors shoo!)
And don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or even crisis numbers that we don't yet have on our list!
Thank you~

She/Her, Aro/Demi, 33Hello! I'm Feyla.
I've had the RadioApple brainrot since I saw the show, and it isn't going away any time soon! I've helped to host several theme weeks, run two discord servers, and help moderate two others.When CrowsAce asked me to help with this zine, I was so excited. It means a lot to me to help be able to work for such a good cause like this!Carrd

She/Her/TheyMy entry into RadioApple was silent and unexpected. I can't say I've had the brainrot from the beginning, mostly because it took a couple months of other Hellaverse related brainrot to even find this ship. But now that I'm here, I've absolutely trapped you all in here with me. :)The possibilities with this fandom for exploration and story telling is something I've not ever witnessed first hand. Not, at least, without a significant amount of backlash. I've always felt that fiction was a beautiful, safe and harmless way to be able to explore dark ideas, thoughts, concepts and so on, but it wasn't until RadioApple that I ever saw Dead Dove so easily embraced.Differences aside, at least we can all agree that Alastor would love to consume Lucifer in all meanings of the word.

KR Luna
She/HerHi! I am Luna, a writer, school librarian, mother, and mental health advocate. For 12 years, I worked as a teacher and supervisor for the department of students with special needs within the public school system in America. Part of my role was caring for, creating plans, and assisting families with their child's disabilities and mental health needs. I specialized with ADHD, ASD, and social/emotional disabilities, which is why mental health has been and will always be vastly important to me.I am excited to be a mod for this zine and looking forward to seeing the creativity of the fandom. More so, to come together for a wonderful cause and to create magic!
More Mods to Come
On this page we will go over what we expect/need from the creators - and remember all creators must share warnings/tags for their pieces!
This is important! Please do remember that even the original Dead Dove had a warning about what was inside before it was ever seen. Not only do we want to keep fellow fans safe, but we need to protect our mods as well.
Any content involving leaks from season 2 is not allowed. Neither is using your medium as a way to spread misinformation and hate against others! There is absolutely no tolerance for these kinds of things, anyone found doing either will be immediately removed, with or without warning.
Cross My Heart is a RadioApple-only digital zine centering on Alastor and Lucifer from Hazbin Hotel, while Hope To Die is AppleRadio-only. These zines will feature dead dove content, all of which we would suggest eating, divided into three different intensities. Remember the tags we told you to not forget? This is where they come into play first, we will use them as a guideline to sort out just how dead your dove is.
While preference in positions is allowed and always valid, it just so happens that this zine’s preference is RadioApple (Top Alastor, Bottom Lucifer) and we ask that this is respected in the NSFW related content. Switching may be mentioned/referenced in the pieces, but not depicted.
We have another section that is not so much a tier for dove deadness as it is for preference of dove position. Hope To Die is an AppleRadio addon that will feature top Lucifer and bottom Alastor. This will be the only section of the zine where any content of AppleRadio will be.
All characters have to be depicted 18+ in any NSFW scenes, including the dead dove content.
Contributors will be required to submit their progress for every check-in.
These dates can be found on the timeline page. Appropriate mods will be appointed to review your progress and provide feedback as needed/requested.Each contributor can submit up to three dead doves!
Just make sure that you’re not taking on more doves than you should. Your mental health throughout this whole project is extremely important and should not be ignored.
