I've recently moved from London to Linlithgow in Scotland, and in settling here I'm keen to get involved in new things. While in Edinburgh today, I passed the Collective Gallery. I wanted to go in,…Continue

Reproductive technology!

Not the human kind, the paper-based kind!I'm wondering how you put your zines together. I like using as little technology as possible - my first zine was done using almost entirely analogue methods,…Continue

Publicity - how to do it?
11 Replies
I'm pretty new to zine-making. I produced my first one, Journeyman, back in May, and sold about ten copies, almost entirely to readers of my LJ and associated communities, with a couple of sales via…Continue

Lee Osborne replied to Andrew Culture's discussion New Issue Announcement thread!"It's taken me a while, but I've just finished issue 4 of Journeyman. It's different to previous editions in that I've published in via Lulu - this is because I wanted to reproduce a lot of colour in it and it's the best…"

Emma Jane Falconer replied to Lee Osborne's discussion Making a zine on a ZX81 - help me out!"
Oh I will send my thingy for next time. Can we sort out a trade after the 28th (I'm doing the alt press fair then)"
Lee Osborne replied to simfonisix's discussion What type of modus you use to make a zine?"My first two zines were produced mainly using a typewriter, with some hand written and drawn things, and then scanned and printed at home using my mono laser printer. Works pretty well, but I've been keen to try other methods, so I've just…"
Lee Osborne replied to Lee Osborne's discussion Making a zine on a ZX81 - help me out!"OK, folks - it's done. :) My first ZX81-made zine is ready to buy here. Enjoy. :)"
Lee Osborne replied to Andrew Culture's discussion New Issue Announcement thread!"After a lot of effort - first of all in getting hold of the technology, and secondly in painstaking hours of typing, I am proud to present JOURNEYMAN 3 - THE ZX81 ISSUE!
Unlike my mainly-made-on-a-typewriter previous issues, this one was made…"
Lee Osborne replied to Lee Osborne's discussion Making a zine on a ZX81 - help me out!"I now have the printer, and have laboriously coded about five pages of material - it's very time consuming, but watching the first few pages chug out onto thermal paper a mere four inches wide was very satisfying. :)
I'd really love any…"
Lee Osborne replied to Lee Osborne's discussion Making a zine on a ZX81 - help me out!"That is very cool indeed, but I need to print 32 characters across by 22 characters down, so I'd need to flip it 90 degrees - it does show what can be done, though. Sorry if I didn't make the print format very clear - but that's…"

Maybe someone else can use this template I made for myself while working on that picture:

Lee Osborne replied to Lee Osborne's discussion Making a zine on a ZX81 - help me out!"Sounds very familiar indeed. The words "tape loading error" would give Spectrum owners nightmares."
Erica S. replied to Lee Osborne's discussion Making a zine on a ZX81 - help me out!"I don't have any ideas for articles, but just wanted to say this is an awesome idea. It makes me wish I still had my Apple IIGS, can you imagine the kind of zine you could put out with Print Shop? (I did used to make little zine-like things…"
Emma Jane Falconer replied to Lee Osborne's discussion Making a zine on a ZX81 - help me out!"We had a commodore 64, and you could only use the special tape machine with that. It was a bit tempermental, and we had some games that seemingly took forever to load (I'm looking at you Adrian Mole & New Zealand Story) and would often…"
Lee Osborne replied to Lee Osborne's discussion Making a zine on a ZX81 - help me out!"That would be absolutely perfect. I've rediscovered the joys of that since owning a ZX81 again. It's actually still possible to buy mono "shoebox" tape recorders new, and it works OK, but can be very temperamental.
I bought a…"
Emma Jane Falconer replied to Lee Osborne's discussion Making a zine on a ZX81 - help me out!"I think I might write you a 704 character wonder on my many superstitions I had as a kid for getting tapes to load properly on crappy 80s computers (ie must stare fixedly at tape player entire time, must remain in room, must not cross legs etc)"
