I like detective shows, latin and Sonic Youth. I am far too lazy to fill these kind of boxes out very thoroughly.
I make assorted zines including Fanzine Ynfytyn, Imaginary Uncles, Being Editors, Pobble Eh Come? and other assorted bits of time wasting nonsense.
Ynfytyn has whatever I feel like putting in it, mainly articles about strange stuff that's happened to me/music festivals, short stories about the private lives of inanimate objects, top 5s of various things (I have High Fidelity disease), black and white photos and vegetarian recipes.
Pobble Eh Come is a tiny pocket zine of surrealist collages made from things like magazines for hypochondriacs and Norweigian textbooks, it's in no way serious.
Imaginary Uncles does what it says on the tin, 100 word portraits of imaginary and infuriating uncles, with accompanying illustrations.
Being Editors is a children's lit zine. I'm currently working on two issues, one about Diana Wynne Jones (with an interview with the lady herself) and another about Edith Nesbit.
I have a website: http://www.emmajanefalconer.co.uk , perhaps you will care to peruse it.

Latest Activity
I see you're in Lincoln. It's a bit slow for anything round there, isn't it?
Do you know Steve Larder who writes Rum Lad? He lives in Notts now, but he's originally from Lincolnshire, and I bet he has some contacts.
Also as well- the Story of the Treasure Seekers- E Nesbit. The kids try to make a newspaper to restore their family fortunes (after trying digging up the garden, being highwaymen in the park, divining etc) and then quickly discover why no-one ever...
Well he's got a ready made topic for his next issue now, thanks to you.
I bet someone in the 80s really did make a boy george zine
I read this quickly and thought the subject said, "Mike who does the Boy George zine"
ooh, i feel honoured to have a thread somewhere in cyberspace about me!
Thanks! Yes, that's him.
I got two great zines today from a fellow UK zinester called Mike about touring bothies in Northumbria, and his blind cat George, but there was no return address on the envelope, no note, and no contact details in the zines. I want to send some zi...

Making stuff
El Mufferty models some badges made out of sequins, foil sweet wrappers and a torn copy of a Tale of Two Cities. I need to draw his eyes back on, he went through the washing machine by accident a while ago, that's what happens when you're an elderly toy elephantosaurus.
I went to Vicky's after to work, to play with her new badge machine (a proper heavy-duty one). Making badges is seriously addictive. We ate spinach pizza, and ended up watching the news three times by accident (nothing better on)
Southampton Zine & Craft Fair
Yesterday I went to the Southampton Zine & Craft Fair. It's a 2 day event, and I was supposed to be there for two days, but I came home last night in the end. The event was very small anyway, and the weather in Southampton was atrocious with torrential rainstorms and gale force winds, so there weren't many people there. I felt pretty awful from being under the weather anyway, and staying up too late the night before cutting zines and baking panda cakes with Vicky, so the thought of sleeping on the organiser's floor after battling through rain didn't appeal at all.
L-R Ellie, Ed, Steve. Here's our stall with the Brighton Zinefest stuff. Steve lives in So'ton, the rest of us came in Ed's car, me, Ed, Ellie, Ed's friend Elliott and Vicky. Vicky was the only one without a name beginning with E. I didn't get a photo of her stall for some reason. Isy from Morgenmuffel was originally going to come with us, but she decided to just come for one day and get the train, so we took her box up in the car for her instead.
Here's the place it was in. Upstairs at a vegetarian arts cafe. The cafe was really nice, although their leek and potato soup was a bit odd (and expensive). I got the feeling walking round So'ton town centre trying to find a chemist so I could get some more Feminax, that there wasn't much to interest me in the town, it seems to be designed for cars rather than people. I guess Brighton has spoilt me.
Steve Larder had probably come the furthest of all (from Nottingham)
Tukru and Carl.
Madame T copying Steve L's typical photo pose.
I got this pretty brooch made of recycled broken jewellery from one of the stallholders.
And this great fancy £2 coin celebrating DNA (it's worth about $4 USD/ €3)
And the inscription! I also got one celebrating Isumbard Kingdom Brunel, but I forgot to take a picture of it before using it.
There was a vintage shop next door. Tukru found these ace glasses frames, I took the photo to show her what they looked like on, because of course she couldn't see in the mirror without her glasses. I got Velvet Underground and My Bloody Valentine badges, and she got a Paul Calf one for Carl, because he looks a bit like Paul Calf with his natural blonde hair.
The rather great mask display in the shop. It was a bit odd, doubling as both a vintage clothes shop and a costume shop. All the vintage dresses seemed reasonable prices, until you realised that was the weekend hire price, and really they all cost £50, which seemed a bit much.
After the event, we all went to the pub and debated the merits of the Times' top 100 albums of the decade (too much Coldplay). Then me, Vicky, Tukru and Carl went for a pizza before the train, getting drenched on the way. I had a great mushroom, garlic and smoked mozzarella pizza. T&C got the London train, and me & V met Isy and caught the Brighton train.
The train took 2 hours, stopping at every single possible stop (West Worthing, Worthing and East Worthing anyone? Worthing is a small town) and Isy managed to sleep through the horrendously drunk middle aged rugby fans who got on the train for about 20 mins and started stripping to try to get our attention. When we pretended to be reading intently/genuinely sleeping they got really disappointed and asked us if we were going to a goth convention (none of us were wearing black).
