Welcome to We Make Zines

We Make Zines is an online community for zine makers and readers. Although there are many social networking sites out there, there is little that focuses on zines. We all have our facebooks or blogs, but those accounts are filled with friends from work, from the third grade, people who don't know what a zine is and some who probably don't care.

This space creates a place that focuses on the zines. I want this place to be less about personality and friends and more about the zines - what we produce and read.

You can create a profile, list your zineography, post images of zines, partake in the forums, find other zine writers, read about new releases, read reviews from your favorite zine writers and leave comments about the zine you just read on the actual zinesters profile.

You can modify your page how you want. I have noticed that this site actually seems a lot easier than myspace. You can just move the components around on your page to make them how you want them.

Use this space to connect, report, review and tell us about new stuff. Do keep in mind, however, that posting about the same thing repeatedly will be considered spam and not accepted. Members who do this will be banned.


Notes

New Rules on WMZ

Unfortunately we need to set up some guidelines here for the discussions.  I am not someone who wants to censor people, however,  WMZ is a place for positive discussions about zines. It is not a place to pick fights, name call or put down people.

If you have a beef with someone email them or go to their website and post, but do not fill up the discussions or comments with hateful words.

From now on, the people on staff at WMZ (currently this is just me, but people may be ad… Continue

Due to spammers

I have had to make it so members are approved before joining. They also have to answer a question about zines. Some spam factory has found us and are creating profiles like crazy with links embedded, so it doesn't show up on the daily activity. I banned about 40 last night. Let me know if you see any.

If you are not a spammer, but do not have any info about you or your zine on your profile or if you only upload pictures of yourself or just link to some webpage, you may be banned. You… Continue

I don't imagine there being very much out there, but maybe I'm wrong. Maybe in downtown Riverside? If you're ever in Long Beach, there's a really great coffee shop/ open mic thing going on there. It seems like there's an independent coffee shop on...

Hi Laurathelorax, I'm sure you're right that I'm not understanding the intricacies and history with the 'person with a disability' language too. It's very political here - and there too of course - but very cultural too, which is where the main is...

It's a Grind in Murrieta used to hold some.. but I'm not sure if it's still open. I haven't lived in that area in over a year.. but it's worth looking into because a lot of the It's a Grinds I visited in the IE had some form of a mic night.
