this is not a debate I am particularly willing to get into, however I do not like the idea that non christians know nothing about christianity - the majority of atheists I know have become atheists due to either growing up in a christian family an...

My zine is called Exploding The Myth. Its part perzine, part whatever-the-hell-i-feel-like. I'm currently taking a couple of contributions per issue. I want it to be mainly my zine but I also want to include things that I find interesting that creative people I know have made.
My zine includes rants, reflections, reviews, drawings, and a whole buncha queer stuff.
I love trading the best but if you have no zine to trade, just message me and we can try figure something out.

OH, and check out my website for more writing and blogs and stuff www.kiraswales.co.uk

Exploding the Myth #1 includes:

* Personal writing
* Queer Control Records info
* Rants about religion and sexuality
* Comic-style section with drawings/writing abut work and stagnation and escape
* Vagina euphemism wordsearch!
* "Why I like compasses!" by James
* How to...
* Review of Bottle Rocket Hearts
AND MORE! :)


Exploding the Myth #2 now printed! It's a special one-off full colour issue -there are only 4 copies left and I can't afford to print anymore, so grab em while you can!!
Included in this zine is:

* Writing about writing
* Addiction and a disintegrated friendship
* Transition and Relationships part 1
* How to Make a Compass by James
* "Meet my Friends" cartoon and mini bios
* " So I Guess this is Growing Up? by Daisy
* Rebellion Festival 2009 Diary
* "The East Bay Dream"
* Religion and Children
* Liz Baillie review

.... and more!

kira! i absolutely love exploding the myth! i had never heard of queer control records before so i checked out the website and i love the music! i'm always on the lookout for good bands and i like all of the ones on the label! i also really enjoyed hearing about your experience with being in a relationship with a transitioning person; i don't hear enough about that in zines.
so, thanks again for trading with me and i hope we can do it again! <3

Hey! How are you, my friend? <3
Sorry it took so long to get the zine to you,my life is a chaotic mess! I'm uprooting AGAIN & moving to Wisconsin in three weeks. Hopefully, I'll be pumping out a mini zine once I get settled down there. I'm also trying to organize a zine focused on health care for gender neutral folks, which will be a much longer process.
If you getcher mits on any copies of #2, let me know!<3
