I realised there wasn't a group on WMZ specific to zine trades so I wanted to get something in place so that people can pool together their interest in trading.

Thanks for making this the biggest group on We Make Zines!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone seems to post a new thread in the forum when they want to share their zines but why not just come to one group where you know people are going to be receptive when you want to share with them!

TO GET STARTED, ADD A COMMENT INCLUDING A ONE-LINER ABOUT YOUR ZINE FOR TRADE AND A ONE-LINER ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE AFTER IN THE TRADE (IF YOU'RE FEELING SPECIFIC)....

Comment by Derwood Morris on February 23, 2012 at 6:07pm: I pulled some of my favorite posts from my web site - hasanyoneseenmyshoe.blogspot.com, which is photographs of found articles of clothing, and made a small book out of them. Would like to trade for anything with photography/art, especially bizarre stuff.

Comment by Rachel on February 20, 2012 at 8:27pm: “Not ‘Queer’ as in ‘Radical’ but ‘Lesbian’ as in Fuck You,” is follow up to “Reimagining Queer Community,” a twenty-four hour perzine I made in July, 2011. Since July, I have continued mulling over nuanced, and often controversial, questions regarding my association with the lgbt community at large. “Not ‘Queer’ as in ‘Radical’ but ‘Lesbian’ as in Fuck You” is a perzine that explores my recent decision to use the word “lesbian” as a substitution for “queer.” I also talk about male domination and sex-right in supposedly “sex positive” queer spaces, the perpetuation of misogynistic troupes and devaluation of lesbian identities within “progressive” and “feminist” communities, owning up to & attempting to combat transphobia that has historically emanated from within lesbian spaces, and queer as hierarchical social capital.

1 / 4 size, text heavy & 16 pages. for snail mail or trading, please e-mail rachelzines at gmail dot com.

Comment by geoff donutz on February 20, 2012 at 1:21am: MACHINERY Vs. the Sun #2, some immense 72 page magazine of self absorbed imitation of better writers. stories from cuba and montana and columbia (missouri) and a horny young boy in a cave in mexico, just to name a few. all of it true. i can't write fiction. but the layout is good. it's probably the best part.

Lookin' for any gritty storytelling and short fiction that reads like a breadcrumb trail, and anything by Okra P. Dingle AKA: Rhorn. Not interested in your comics or 1/4 page perzine about cats and office work.

you’ve got a friend in pennsylvania #6

my issues with mental health have always been immensely difficult for me to assess, describe, and talk about. an intensely private person, i have kept most of my struggles to myself. in this zine, i attempt to investigate the traces of anxiety, depression, suicide, and alcoholism in my family’s history as well as my own difficulties with these issues. almost split into two zines due to volume, this issue is a hefty assortment of stories, thoughts, and emotions.

eight sections discuss: the secrecy surrounding my family’s history of suicides, a recent suicide in my family, my issues with anxiety and pushing emotions aside, my reoccuring suicidal thoughts and how my identities intersect with them, talking with a fellow queer/trans* friend struggling with suicide, assessing my tumultuous relationship with alcohol and deciding to become consciously sober, what i can do to manage and deal with things, and what i plan to do in the future. there is a trigger warning for the zine relating to depression, anxiety, suicide, self-harm, alcoholism, sexual assault, and abuse - please take care of yerself before you read this - it is intense.

this zine is extremely text heavy, black & white, 46 pages, and 1/2 size. for purchasing or trading, please e-mail youvegotafriendinpaATgmailDOTcom or get in touch with me on here!

Comment by Laura Lane on February 18, 2012 at 5:20pm: Heey all- I just realized I haven't traded zines in awhile and I miss it so. The other day, I finished up stitching the binding of several copies of Staircase Wit #4: the lucid dreaming guide and would like to send them off to good homes, especially fellow zinesters. In return, I'm looking for any zines really like perzines, music zines, riotgrrl zines, DIY, blahblah whatever you feel like sending my way. Contact me thru here or staircasewitzine@gmail.com. Thanks ;)

Comment by QueensBee Zines on February 17, 2012 at 10:33pm: Greetings! My fuzzy cosmic creature friend, Moon Sky, wants to share with y'all a zine of its spiritual sermons about Nature in this short 8-page color comic zine.

You can meet Moon Sky on its blog here! And decide whether you'd dig getting your hands on a copy of happy self-help happenings to share with your human or furry friends.

Comment by QueensBee Zines on February 17, 2012 at 10:14pm: Hi all!

I haven't traded zines in ages, and I'm psyched to trade with folks.

This is my first photo zine of my grandmother and her former home (where she looked after me as a child) in New York. The original photographs were developed and printed by me.

"Untitled" Zine.
(24 pages, 5.5 in. by 8 in., black and white)

Cheers,

Dawn
