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

Dave is awesome because On Subbing (the anthology) has become one of my most favorite books. Also, his zine About My Disappearance has helped me feel really awesome and not so shy about my own digestive issues.
