Morrissey Comp Zine

[Rebekah]

Hi zine folks. I'm putting together a zine all about Morrissey. I'm looking for contributions. You can write about what Moz means to you, your favorite Morrissey song, etc. You could even do some Morrissey art. Whatever you choose to do must involve Morrissey in some way, shape or form.
I'm taking contributions until January 31, 2009 in hopes to release the zine in February 2009 to coincide with the release of Morrissey's new album!!!!!!

Entries can be sent here:

Yeah, April is the first person I thought of as soon as I read the title of the thread.

By the way, not to be a dick or anything, but if you first announced the zine on 12/9 I doubt there's any way you'll have all the contributions in by 12/31. Maybe I just suck at organizing comp zines (which is certainly possible) but getting people to agree to contribute is a fucking hassle and actually getting them to do what they promised in a timely manner is like pulling teeth. I'd give myself at least a couple of months but maybe you're quicker than me.

PS My FUN FACTS comp zines actually turned out to be pretty kick ass. Still, I hated putting them together.

I am sending my contribution via email right now!

Yep, I've read April's zine. We've exchanged Morrissey stories before. I love the issue about traveling to see Morrissey. It's fabulous.

I actually totally meant to write January 31st, I think i was so used to writing December that I wrote it instead of January. Thanks for pointing that out. I edited the discussion to make it January. It makes more sense anyway, 'cause i want it to come out with the album.

Thnx!

I think it'll probably end up being 1/2 sized, so i'd stick with something that's around 5" by 8 1/2". You could alway do a "centerfold" if you wanted and make it 8 1/2" by 11".
