FAQ
Who are you?
Ruthie.I am in high school, I live in Eugene Oregon, and I always have too much on my plate.
What do you do besides zines?
I sew, I read, I learn, I sing, I play violin, I take pictures, I act, I play, and I talk.
Why don't you say who you really are and use your real address?
Since I am under 18, live with my folks, and am in school, I would prefer not to have you come knocking at my door. I would love to meet you, but at this point in my life, meeting people in person is not very reasonable for me.
What's with the name?
The name? It's a pen name! Yes, to you it seems old fashioned and lame, but it has sentimental value to me.
What's up with your zine?
My zine, What we aren't? is, at the moment, a poetry zine, but that is subject to change. in fact, the first issue wasn't really what I would call poetry. It was really more like... a mix between poetry and visual art. yeah. It was pretty cool.
How can I get your zine?
I plan on getting a post box soon, so keep watching!
How can I get in touch?
at this moment in time, email is your best bet : ruthie.whatwearent[at]gmail.com

Ruthie replied to James N. Dawson's discussion Upcoming Zine Fairs in Washington or Oregan"the Portland Zine symposium is sometime this summer.... oh dear, I don't remember the dates! but it is sometime in July. Look under "events"! I have never been, but I might this year!! it seems to be a pretty nifty event. :D"
Ruthie replied to KellyRose-Pulse Zine's discussion New Issue Not Measuring Up to the Last?"gah, I know what that is like... I wasn't nearly as pleased with the second issue of my zine. Yes, it was good (in my opinion) but I didn't feel as thoughtful. I actually felt that I worked too hard on it. My first issue, I sat down and…"
Ruthie replied to Emma Jane Falconer's discussion Anyone else do sewing zines?"I would hope to do one in the future, maybe a bit about embroidery as well, and I would be thrilled to trade at that point. ^_^"
Rick Bradford replied to Ruthie's discussion Worried about mail"On the subject of envelopes fitting in PO boxes, here's a very important reminder: ALWAYS write or stamp "DO NOT BEND" on your outgoing packages. Big letters, red ink and front & back are best!
In my experience at least (several…"
Ruthie replied to Andrew Culture's discussion New Issue Announcement thread!"Yipee! My second issue of "What We Aren't?" is out! :D I actually did this partially for a school project. The assignment was to write 5 poems. I wrote twelve (plus visuals) and put them in a zine on better-then-printer-paper paper.…"
Ruthie replied to CocoaPuss Zine's discussion etiquette and professionialsim"I think if it is serving no other purpose then to get refunds from Hannah, it should be close. There is no reason to do so in public unless it doesn't work in private.
However, I still am seeing some interesting points made, so if those…"

Mab left a comment for Ruthie"Hey Ruthie! Just wanted to say hi and congrats on your PO Box. I remember when I was 15 or 16 and got my box and I was soooo excited! It makes me feel a lot safer and it's so much fun to check it and see what you got in the mail. Welcome to the…"
ciaraxyerra replied to Ruthie's discussion Worried about mail"a half-sized zine is 5.5" by 8". that's a pretty standard zine size. i would recommend going one size bigger than your post office's smallest box. that way you can be sure that zines will fit, & also slightly bigger packages…"
Ericfishlegs replied to Ruthie's discussion Worried about mail"Most zines do get mailed in envelopes (and I actually prefer that, but that's been discussed in another thread) but most can be pretty easily folded. I'd assume if it can't fit in the box they'll hold it behind the counter for…"

Ruthie replied to Ruthie's discussion Worried about mail"My parents have given me the go ahead, so I can get one! yay. And luckily they are fine that it is about zines. Although, general pen pal might be fun at some point too... hmmm.... PO boxes have so much potential!
I think I shall take a visit to…"

I will be moving some time in September, so I may not be able to communicate or send mail for a while.

- I would love to trade for your poetry zine! I have several poetry zines that I could send you. There is a list of what's available on my blog. Just pick out what (if anything) you want and let me know.
