Description:

I recently started a zine series and would love for others to join me. I love reading zines about all sorts of topics.

This is the first of a series of swaps. You are not required to do all of the swaps in the series. I plan to have this series about every 2 weeks. If you already have a series, feel free to use that. You don't need to start with #1 for this swap. I just want to see what y'all like to make.

Requirements:

  • Make a zine that is a minimum of 8 pages (including the covers). It can be more if you want. Up to you, but the typical 8 page zine is the minimum.

  • Topic is senders choice. It can be anything you want it to be about.

  • Put some effort into it. Beginners welcome, so it doesn't have to be perfect, but try to make it something you'd like to get.

Usually people make zines and photocopy them and send their partners the photocopied version.

I will angel if needed, but I hope it isn't needed. Please only join if you plan on following through.

You must have a rating of at least 4.95. No unexplained 1s.

Sounds fun! I have never done a 'zine before, but have always wanted to... so here goes!

Sorry, I am gonna have to drop this time, I had forgotten about tax time and am already in too many swaps for this time of year. I hope you do it aging in May, as I really want to try this! :-)

Is there a size requirement for the completed zine, finished and pages closed? I like making mini-zines (one 8.5"x11" paper folded tomake 8 mini pages). I like making them because the small size forces me to choose my best content and it is pocket-sized. Thoughts?
