1. I started my etsy everyone! I am so excited. I have all my zines listed there.
2. There's a great holiday deal I have going on. 3 Faire Lamour Zines for only 2 bucks! Yeah!

Hey guys! I’m putting the next issue of my zine together and its all about women, so I have a few questions for the girl zinesters out there if they want to help out. You can be as detailed or vague as you want when answering. And as a sufficient bribe, if you answer 5 out of 7 questions, I’ll send you a free copy of the zine when its finished.  Email me at seasonofunknowing@gmail.com with answers or any questions you have for me or the project. I’d love to hear from you, even if you don’t answer the questions! And thanks to everyone who takes the couple minutes to help me out.

1.       What does it mean to be a riot grrrl?

2.       What is your first clear interaction with the feminist movement?

3.       Do you think feminism has a place in society today, or have we done what we needed to do?

4.       Be honest here: what double standards do you have for women? Do you hold the women you know to specific standards, yet criticize men for having those same standards? Do you judge women too harshly according to society, while at the same time lamenting female stereotypes?

5.       What is your biggest issue with being a girl? Now, what’s the thing you love the most, the thing that makes you proud to be female?

6.       What do you consider the biggest issues facing women still today? What do you think should be done/what are you doing about it?

7.       Freeform question: talk about a purely and strictly female memory. Alternately, why do you think female experiences are good/bad for us as a sex? (a strictly female memory would be a memory or experience that just involved girls, or something that wouldn’t happen to/with men, i.e. menstruation)

Hi, guys!

I'm the editor of The F-Bomb zine and our next issue due out in January is going to be our sex-themed issue. I was planning on doing a feature called "Stripper Stories: Straight From the Pole" with past or present strippers contributing their most memorable moments to the article. Funny stories, horrific stories, sad stories...all are welcome!

Should you contribute you of course have the option of remaining anonymous, simply let me know in advance if you would like me to include your name or not. The email address is CWheeler@thefbombzine.com

Hope to hear from you guys soon!

I'm in the starting stages of planning a road trip this summer. I live in New England and have never been off the east coast before, but I have relatives in California, so I want to drive out there. I'm looking for some amazing sights that I can't get out of a guidebook. I don't actually have a route planned yet, so suggest anything: places in your hometown, places you've been before, places you want to go but have never seen. I'd like to see some famous sights too, but I'm really interested in indie and underground places that no one's ever heard of before. Can everyone help me out please??

(I'm really sorry for cross-posting this, I usually hate when people do that but I want to get a wide response base. I've never done anything like this before.)

This is my first actual fanzine. It's 1/8th size, 16 pages on ivory paper, with a typewritten chronicle of my experience seeing Leonard Cohen perform at the beginning of November interspersed with handwritten lyric excerpts. 
( Interior, purchase information, and an offer of photographic services. )

Hello everyone! Just a little update about the new zines available at Black Light Diner Distro!



HELLO ALABAMA: A ONE-SHOT DISASTER (Tuscaloosa, AL)

Courtney's (Muse) anti-love letter to Alabama was written after she packed up and moved from North Carolina to Tuscaloosa, Alabama to attend library science school. The move came with an unexpected downside in the racist and conservative attitudes of some of her classmates. While certainly not indicting all Alabamans, Courtney describes the self-silencing she must go through to be safe in her new location, from being forced to tear a pro-choice sticker off her car to having to check her political ideals at the door in order to have at least a few friends. There's also a piece about the underfunded and underutilized recycling program in Tuscaloosa, and how its mismanagement by clueless city officials has had devastating consequences for the working-class community who must live next to the plant. I've never moved to a drastically different geographical location (yet), but as someone who grew up in a more conservative area the themes of alienation rang true, and I think this would be a great zine for anyone who feels out of step with their surroundings, whether they're a native or a newcomer.

Also, I'm really on the lookout for some new zines to carry, in particular personal comics. If you have something you think I'd be interested in, drop me an email or send it to me!

Thanks for reading,
Erica

Hi Everyone!

My friend has a new project that you might be interested in. Right now, it's going into a blog, but could possibly be a zine. Here's the information:



Here is her first drawing so far.
To the blog!


Thanks in advance, cross posted sorry!

Sorry I've been absent from this particular community for so long, but I'm definitely still involved with zines and... I've decided to take that leap and start a distro! I've been spending many hours planning, writing, and trying my darndest to make a decent website without many design skills. Here's the description from the website: Mad Hatter Distro, named for Mab’s favorite character in the book Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, is a new distro in Pennsylvania that focuses on well-written perzines, litzines, mini zines, and fanzines, and aims to help new zinesters bring their writing to the world. The site is up and running now, though it's a bit sparse at the moment and the catalog is empty. You'll find the full submission guidelines, payment information, and the distro's blog there. The catalog will be updated periodically so you can preview what zines will be available, and I will begin accepting orders March 1st. Visit: http://madhatterdistro.weebly.com. You can also read my distro thoughts and see pictures of my new "zine space" (I dedicated an entire cabinet to zines today) on my zine blog: http://ratbratzine.wordpress.com.

Everybody loves to know what day it is.

Descriptions:

Volthair #1: My Intentions are Good: This first zine is about my first year of college, some of my tangent past, getting over my first boy attachment, meeting new and old souls, and searching for the sake of searching. Most of it's about trying. A dirty bathroom wall once said "my intentions are good." These are seamless intentions within us are just tumbling life's events, that's all. 1/4 size, 50 Pages

Volthair #2:The Zine Crane is about the hot Austin summer of 2008 to the 2009 cold spring.

It is furthermore, what are attempts to remember details and stories. Whenever anything seems disorienting, please know these are my hands folding and unfolding a crane. I am trying to remember my history and my experiences, fold by fold. 1/4 size, 48 pages
