I know the sensible place to find zines is in your local comic/alternative book store, but I wondered where is the strangest place you have left zines to get them out into the community?

Coffee bars, clubs, public toilets?

bus stops, air planes, schools, library books.

For our first issues we did a handout outside the train station, Degraves Subway near Sticky. We got all dressed up in flight attendant costumes (kinda meant to be train conductor costumes) and yelled out "Short story to " and "Free short story, get your free short story", etc. It was heaps of fun and commuters were totally taken by surprise!

sometimes i leave my zines on the train or at friends houses or on airplanes but it's usually by mistake. i'm just not very organised you see.

I LOVE the idea of zines for commuters, brilliant!

When I read zines on the train to London people look at me like I'm some sort of reveloutionary, which is pretty sexy!

i used to leave zines in the ladies room of various bookstors/restaurants and things. though more often i would leave buttons with my web address on the edge. usually with tips, tucking them in places like coat pockets of community hung racks of clothes, or even slipping a business card or 1 page zine into library books.
