What Zine do you produce?

[Gigantor]

In order to familiarize myslf with more of you quicker and hopefully become more social/active on here.I thought I would ask you what zine(s) do you produce and what kind of zine is it.

good idea for a forum topic!
i used to make a zine called 'trade entrance' (a zine about doing a phd on australian perzines).
i now make a zine called ' doubt2' - a zine about the usefulness of doubt.

and i edited a zine called 'a people's history of australian zines vol2', which has two short essays by longtime australian zine makers about how and why they came to make zines (and why they stopped). i have some of them left if anyone wants to trade - get in touch!

im working on 4 =/ they are all very different..

That Summer - perzine, about growing up, loosing friends, college, finding a job
All things perverted - sex/smut, about all things strange and sexual, weird sex acts etc..

these are the two im mainly focused on right now.

I know most people have one name for their zine like Aubade, and so many others but mine are all very different, and I know this is bad because if people want to read other stuff by me it's harder but I may call each zine Andrew Lips - That Summer or Andrew Lips - All things perverted? so on the cover it would still have my name for people to reconise..

good idea? bad idea?

i do perzines. i consider them all different projects, so my first zine, deceptively simple, was a collection of drawings over the summer. pumpkin tits (which i consider the 'autumn' zine) is more story based, half of it being written. my winter zine is going to be more photozine, with small parts of writing / drawing put in.

i also contribute to my friend jenna's art zine, where they take a random quote and everyone makes something based on it.

[CloudFactory]

I write a zine called Cloud Factory. Its a perzine about growing up in Wisconsin, and the last year of my life when I lost alot of really close people, including my mother. Its also just alot of introspective whining, and social commentary. But sometimes it is fun too. This winter I will be doing another one about going to Peru with my typically square midwestern familey, which I am really excited(terrified) about.

[KellyRose-Pulse Zine]

I write Pulse Zine which I describe as a zine about "life,feminism and learning to love yourself" it includes articles on growing up, the media, body image, personal struggles, gender, sexism and much more. Each issue features an interview with a cool woman who is inspiring others.

[Katie Kaput]

I make night cookies. issue #6 is just finished!

it's a personal 'zine written by a 26 year old transsexual single mama of two home schooled kids (that mama is ME!) about lots of stuff, mostly sex, my process of learning to love myself, flashbacks to earlier times in my life, and stuff about parenting/cute anecdotes about my kids.

[Kate Nicholson]

Story To... a literary/photography zine aimed at commuters. In fact, Issue Two will be available for download from our blog on Monday: www.storyto.wordpress.com.

[Katie Kaput]

kelly, that's pretty funny than we both write a 'zine about learning to love yourself and we posted right after each other! i also write songs about learning to love myself.;) <3, katie

[Whip-ette]

I'm Harriette in London and I've written poetry for different zines, and I'm putting together my first poetry/prose/photography/drawing zine at the moment! It's called Whip.
I'm trying to reach out to vague youngsters who feel like they can't/won't get published and to remind people that there ARE decent young writers out there.
And! I'm hoping to do some prose and illustration zines in the future too... it'll hopefully happen! (fingers crossed)

[Cats and Crows]

Hi,
my names lee I do a few bits mainly for fun.

My most recent stuff is a comic called 'Modernism can be dull' which has lots of comic strips about growing up with a parent in the army, alcholism, sex, magic mushrooms, cats and william blake? (the cornerstones of any great party eh?)

I also have done two issues of a comic based on the krautrock beat 'Motorik' (ie repeated images) called erm Motorik.

and also another two issues of a zine called 'Cut Up Technique' which is well..you prob get the idea from the title.

reading this back I realise I sound super pretentious...so err dont pick up any of my stuff.

I currently produce "Creatures of Habit," which is essentially a bestiary. I've made four volumes so far and will eventually create a compilation of all the content. I've also done a one-off called SHOE, which is a personal catalog of my footwear.

I'm now looking for ideas for more one-offs and maybe another serial.
