"For Zines, Tabletop Rulebooks, and other files delivered in .pdf format that are not considered Books/Novels, pages of the work must be customized to a certain degree (something like Arial text on plain white pages is considered not customized)."
1. Can I get some clarity on what the aim of this rule is?
2. How could someone who DID have a draft that was, to use your example, Arial text on plain white pages potentially alter it to be acceptable for submission?
Hey aliengeometries, this is BáiYù of tofurocks here.
Not to be autistic and overly literal, but I think I need more clarification or examples here of what "customization" means to you. I guess my actual zine has body text in Georgia, but I can't add borders without compromising my design, both aesthetically and in the technical sense that it's optimized for home print, so I would have to add the borders to the active printing area and therefore resize or remove images and significantly rearrange the text to accommodate them. Do images count? Does visibly intentional text formatting, such as footnotes, count?
