24 Hour Zine Thing

Information

Each July, the 24 Hour Zine Challenge asks zinesters to create a 24-page zine from conception to final product in 24 hours straight. Zines should be of suitable size and technical difficulty so that this truly is a challenge for individual zinesters.

Comment by Melanie on August 2, 2012 at 5:44pm: 16 pages; quarter-size. I tried to go for 24 pages, but it didn't work out that way. This zine is Dirty July #2 and it is the first zine I have done in FIVE years!! I decided to make a zine about my best friend Christy, so that is what I did. I lost Christy to cancer in 1995 at the age of 16. I made the zine on the 17th anniversary of her passing.

Comment by Tee Rex on July 31, 2012 at 8:29pm: 28 pages long and 1/8 (A7) size with a black card cover. I write about zine making, writing, holding myself together and falling apart, swimming, parenting, meeting my partner and an old primary school friend.

Comment by Kitty Kerosene on July 30, 2012 at 2:06am: Fin!

I said I was gonna illustrate it, but that went right out the window. It's way text-heavier than I intended it to be when it all began on Sunday morning.

32 pages, all about how to run a game of urban golf & a book I ran across at a yard sale, GIRL ANNUAL 1984, which is either the awesomest thing ever or the most horrific. Still unsure which...

Comment by Mel W. on July 28, 2012 at 10:13am: Finished my 24 hour zine challenge for July International Zine month. It's a split zine WHERE IS MY HUSBAND?/WHAT AM I DOING? I wrote about something that happened to me in 24 hours, unfortunately it was a fight with my husband lol

Comment by Lindsey The Smingit on July 16, 2012 at 9:04am: YES! I can haes dun zeeen... and I promise not a word of it was written by a lolcat. Pictures and release announcements to follow :)

Comment by Angry Violist on July 7, 2012 at 2:29am: Well, I did my zine. Am now knackered, but it was a great experience:

Comment by Betty on July 5, 2012 at 10:46pm: Thought I would throw the cover of my zine up here too. For proof or posterity. Whichever.

Comment by Betty on July 5, 2012 at 12:19pm: Hi, I finished my 24 hour zine earlier today, but wasn't sure where to announce it. Here maybe? Mine is train-of-thought-y and handwritten with a couple of photos and tiny illustrations. Mostly a flash intro to me, how I found zines, and why I want to make them.
