I started making my own zine before I knew that anyone else made them, and the first zines I saw were actually just excerpts in the book Zine Scene by Hillary Carlip and Francesca Lia Block, and th...

Your Thoughts About Christians and the Christian Faith
Sorry, Adam....didn't mean to sound so over the top...it was late and it is so rare to find another person who has considered a society without government schooling that I got overly excited. Forgi...

Cut and paste!!
How cool is that?! I love learning new stuff, that's pretty awesome.
There's been some interesting research lately on the mental process of "finding". It's what motivates cats to walk laps around the house looking for other cats. It's what motivates squirrels to dig around in the ground. And it's been postulated th...
My is done on the computer. I love the look of the handwritten zine I see, but fear mine would be incomprehensible it I tried having my contributors all submit their stories like that.
I actually plan on doing a Christian-focused issue/book of my zine, Bumper Sticker Shine. Issue 4 or 5, maybe. We'll see.
i don't really remember the first zine i ever saw. i was a punkling in the 1980s and they were everywhere at shows. the first one i really liked was made by a friend of mine in the 1990s. i didn't make my own until i did madcow for the university ...
I started making zines in eighth grade. My girlfriends and I began making zines together and they primarily included short stories and music/movie reviews. I remember that we would walk around campus at school and hand them out to anyone who would...
I can't actually remember when I was first conscious of zines, but I remember the first ones I ever read. One was given to me at a Unitarian church youth group and it was about women and their bodies, all hand-drawn and beautiful, and the other wa...
I ordered a zine grab bag from a music distro I used to order from quite frequently. Most of them were crappy punk rock music zines (disappointing, as I've never been a huge fan of punk and especially not hardcore punk), but there was one in there...
Back in the 80's my roommate received a zine from a friend in the mail. I don't think I had ever seen a zine before and I found it fascinating. I was bored with no direction other than working and getting fucked up, but thought that "I could do th...
I have been into feminism and riot grrrl for quite a while, and after hearing about how Bikini Kill and Bratmobile used to make their own zines, i started trying to get hold of loads of different feminist/riot grrrl zines. I have quite a collectio...
Rick Sullivan's GORE GAZZETTE, a Xeroxed horror film review zine (he use to copy it at his job for the Mobil corportation!). I found my first copy inside BLEEKER BOB's in NYC around 1981 and quickly started collecting any zine I could find.
A group where I can hopefully find other Christians who make zines...we seem to be a rare breed.

- You up for a trade? You and your zine seems pretty interesting. It might be nice also to exchange letters after trading zines, maybe talking about christianity? When I was younger I was in Pre-Seminary school to be a catholic priest... although I left the flock, there are times I miss christianity and still enjoy talking theology and how it affects life.

- Hey Samantha. One of the great thing about the horror genre is there's very few borders. You don't have to have gore, deaths, monsters, or any of the genre cliches for it to be horrific. Some of the best horror novels (such as the Exorcist and T.M. Wright's A Manhattan Ghost Story) are purely psychological. And in the uprising "bizarro" genre (see bizarrocentral.com for some samples), it can be stranger than anything you've ever thought of before.
Thanks for the befriendment!

- Thanks Samantha.
I sent this essay and a few of my other zines to somebody who wrote a "Jesus Christ Super Zine" I saw reviewed in Zine World and Xerography Debt. I've forgotten her name, and last time I looked, I couldn't find the record of my trade/letter to her, but I'm sure she was located in Olympia. I haven't heard from her yet. Maybe you've heard of her. I don't understand the extreme "hate" if that's not to strong a word that so many zinesters have toward Christianity and religion in general. I'm going to print out this discussion and read it. Maybe I'll understand better afterward. Looking forward to your zine.
