QS: Mini Zine Swap

For this swap we'll be making mini zines! If you're not familiar with a mini zine, I'm linking a tutorial on how to make one here.

All you need is an 8.5x11 sheet of paper. It doesn't have to be fancy paper, you can use standard printer paper here. But you're welcome to use something more fancy if you like.

Most people opt to photocopy their zines and keep the original, and that's what I recommend, but it's entirely up to you as to whether you send the original or a copy. You can create a brand new zine for this swap or you can use one you've made in the past.

Your topic is up to you. Zines can be about anything you like. You can use collage, hand drawing, comic making, handwriting, typed and pasted text, found poetry, and more. For this swap specifically Please do not send NSFW or explicit content unless your partner specifically states in their profiles that they are okay with that. There's nothing wrong with nsfw items, but it's important that we have consent to share them before sending.

If you need some inspiration there's a Queer specific Zine Archive you can look through for ideas. Warning: there are NSFW zines in the archive, just be aware.

Please take some time to make something that you would be happy to receive. If you have questions about zines or this swap. You can also comment here with your questions, if you're curious I'm sure someone else is too.
