zeraph dylan replied to KellyRose-Pulse Zine's discussion leaving your zine in random places?"I used to leave my zines around for free until I started getting death threats, plural, in the mail for talking about feminism in the mildest of terms (this was in 2004/5). Lesson: If you think your zine is controversal, be very cautious about…"
zeraph dylan replied to Anders Dreyer's discussion How do you use Facebook for promotion and sale?!"I don't use Facebook to promote my zine or my distro. As Bucket said, a Facebook page for your zine is a good way to connect with people who already know about your zine. For my distro and for getting submissions for my zine (APMT)…"

Novadon Moon replied to zeraph dylan's discussion Shipping Buttons--- How to make shipping cheaper..."Yes, I use cardboard envelopes now, but my friend used to bring me envelopes from work which were just really thick paper and they worked well too.
Glad I could help!"
zeraph dylan replied to zeraph dylan's discussion Shipping Buttons--- How to make shipping cheaper..."Novadon Moon, Thank you! This was what I was wondering about. I assume you use a cardboard envelope? I'm going to start doing this.

Dylan"
Novadon Moon replied to zeraph dylan's discussion Shipping Buttons--- How to make shipping cheaper..."I make buttons and ship them in a sturdy envelope with no padding - this makes it 'machinable' and therefore a lower cost. So far they have always arrive safely, even when shipping internationally "

Hi! I run The Alchemist's Closet zine distro and sell on Etsy and on my own website. I am US based.I sell a number of pinback buttons, the most popular being the 'Genderqueer' button. Recently I realized that for shipping to certain addresses, it's possible for me to lose money on selling this button-- It's $1.25 for the button and then I add on 0.50…See More
Profile Information
The Alchemist's Closet & the Alchemical Postmodern Theorist
the alchemist's closet zine distro
http://www.alchemistscloset.org
THE ALCHEMIST'S CLOSET is a small distro of carefully chosen queer, trans, feminist, punk, anarchist and occult zines. AC specializes in zines not carried by any other distro. Updated regularly. AC also features weblinks to zines and online magazines of interest, including lesser known zines and zines local to Maine. Free shipping on all zine orders within the continental US.
alchemical postmodern theorist zine
APMT 1.1: This first issue of APMT is a raw, urban-feel cut n' paste collage zine of art, poetry, and articles documenting the process of gay assimilation into consumer culture and calling for an anticapitalist queer movement based on no-identity politics and an alliance of bi/pansexual and trans folk. Includes interview with FTM transsexual porn star Buck Angel, interview with a SF Gay Shame!er and "Stubble," a transwoman's drag king photojournal by writer and activist Tobi Hill-Meyer of www.nodesignation.com. $2
APMT 1.1 is available from The Alchemists' Closetfor $2.00 or selected trades.
APMT 1.2: This issue explores the family in all of its brilliant permutations. Is family defined by one man, and one women, and kids? By two married people of any gender? I am seeking to move beyond the gay marriage debate, and into the territory of chosen, post-nuclear, extended and queer families that break boundaries and practice radical new forms of support and encouragement. At the root of the revolution are groups of people who depend on each other, and we are imagining and re-imagining family all the time. $3
Call for submissions:APMT 1.3: Queer Theory, radical mental health & the queer community
w/ featured artist risk hazencamp - Deadline December 31, 2011.
I also published poetry zines, Love Never and Open Secret, about anti-capitalism and sex I like to have.

Do you still want a short bio? How about this?
