Any interest in a zine review/interview blog?

[Derek Neuland]

Being a zinester and a blogger, i am often conflicted as to where to where to publish my content. So today i thought "why not combine the two?"

The advantages of having zine reviews in a blog would be great, as i could easily post pictures/excerpts, and links to distros where people can purchase the zine. I could also do short interviews with zine creators and appreciators. Much like zines, a blog about zines has endless possibilities.

I just wanted to see what other people thought of this.
-Would you be interested in reading a blog about zines?
-Would you submit your zine for review?
-Would you be interested in being interviewed?
-Would you like to contribute as a writer/reviewer?

any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks a lot! There are many ways to stay up to date on what's going on at Overglued. There are links on the right side of every page where you call follow Overglued on Twitter, Facebook, or join our newsletter. And then there's always the ever useful bookmark! I would love to make constant updates here, but that would come off as spam if I made a new thread every time a new blog post went up.

I luv this idea! Please keep us posted on where you take this....the possibilities are endless. I could definately see myself sitting down and reading a blog about zines and reviews....to learn about what inspires other zinesters would be great!

I think this is a great idea! You could read about the zine on your blog and then quickly link to a distro (since so many are online) and pick it up!

that is my thought exactly :)

I read zine review blogs, and would read others, providing they review the sort of zines I'm interested in.

I review zines on my blog too, but I've decided to only review a handful a month rather than every zine I read. That way I don't feel pressured to review everything and it doesn't take up too much time, but I still have the chance to shout out about those zines I have strong opinions on. I know I probably won't get the readership of a blog that only reviews zines and reviews a lot, but I enjoy it and that's what counts!

enjoying what you do is the most important part!
