Um, um, um, yes-
I'm new too! :-D

I got into zines looking for independent comics / printed webcomics (I like those!) a few weeks ago and though I'd give this a try! (It's so exciting and creative!)
The only thing I've made so far, is a small guide for myself on what NOT to do and tips I've found around the web. It's just a small 1/4 folded paper.

I am planning to do a comic/text zine on running...in a very broad sense...in, to and away. Yes yes.

Hi everyone! I'm so glad there is a group for noobs! :)

I made my first ever zine a few weeks ago and I am currently putting together the second issue. It is a perzine called Losing Our Minds. The first issue is a reflection on my three years at University and various thoughts/rants/memories. I'm really interested in trading, so please get in touch if you would like to! :) xx

I got introduced to zines through some creative writing classes. In the first one, we put together a class zine. Next time we had one of those classes, there wasn't enough interest to do a group zine, but we were encouraged to do our own. I started one, then fizzled out on the project. Then I took a college class, and we were required to each do our own zine, so I was ahead of the game. That was spring of this year. I'm working on my next one and plan to have it done by July 1 of next year. Plenty of time, but this one is a work of self-therapy, so I wanted to give myself plenty of time but be able to have it for next year's Portland (Oregon) Zine Symposium.

i've never been so proud to be a noob.
i released my first zine the end of last month, its a feminist art journal type thing.

I'm not sure if I can be considered so new; I've been into the scene for... 6, 7 years now. Regardless, I've made one zine at all, and it wasn't so great, working on my second ever. Always full of ideas I never put together.

Let's hope I manage to put NOM! together, this one's gonna be fun.

Hey
I've had a load of excitment to burn off and dove in to making two issues at once of a perzine called 'Cat's Teeth' and philosophical type zine called 'Absent Present'. Details on my profile.
I keep waking up in the night and scribbling down ideas. eep

Hello everyone!
I have just, this afternoon in fact, finished my first zine, a perzine. It is all about my struggle with anti-depressants and a mix of journal entries written when experiencing common lows from my depression but also, the rare highs.
If you are interested in buying or trading, drop me a line.
Take care xx
