I currently have two zines on the go - ABSENT PRESENT and CATS TEETH. I love trades (and not strictly for zines - I accept photos, letters, hugs, anything). Write on my wall or email me if you're interested: wintermuse@gmail.com

CAT'S TEETH is a perzine - I include fragments from my huge collection of diaries, combined with recent reflections, sketches, quotes.
# 1: Title: 'Mislead Me' - my first ever zine attempt - reflections on power relations in love and sex, dark fantasies, mental penetration, submission.

Donne said that the hardest lesson/realization in life is INCONSTANCY - that things are never lasting but always changing. I believe that. I've often taken comfort from movement myself. And here I go again, moving house (back to Devon) some friends can't keep track. And when I have to stay in a place for an extended period of time I'm so restless I end up visiting everyone. I think, the only kind of constancy I want in my life is the kind that comes through love and self-love - that placid eupho… Continue
