i'm going to be checking my mail everyday. :).

i'm really interested in making this a career, so i was wondering, how did you get started with zines?

I am writing a research paper on the way zinesters have more recently begun to embrace the internet as a companion to their offline interactions. I am very interested in WMZ as a main contributor in this but also on podcasts as a fairly new form of independent media. Would you be willing to answer a few questions for my paper? It won't take too long and you can be as in depth as you'd like. The sooner I could hear back from you the better. Thanks either way,

Jessica

If you have made a zine recently, are still reprinting old copies of a zine, have old copies lying around or are thinking of making zine, we want you to stock it with us! If you haven't stocked with us before, here's how you do it. Visit our website (www.stickyinstitute.com) and download a stockists form. Fill it out and send it with up to ten copies of your zine to Sticky, P.O. Box 310, Flinders Lane, VIC 8009. We have them on the shelves for 6 months at which time, if they've sold out we'll pay you and if they haven't totally sold out we'll pay you for the copies you have sold and send the remaining copies back to you or donate them to the Exchange Box. To those of you have stocked with us previously, keep sending us your zines! Zine culture is alive and kicking in Australia and Sticky is an ardent defender of zine culture!
Love from Sticky!

I read it and it gave me insight about my relationship and helped me realize it wasn't normal no matter how I pretended.

Just heard about this event being run by my mate Marie, she's looking for zinesters to sell their wares at the Trap2 gallery launch next week... please contact me if you're up for it.

And please please forward this event to all your zining colleagues!

cheers

Yeah- i have a brainscan zine of yours that i bought months ago on etsy, i forget what number it is (im not at home to check) but i did like it. It sounds by your profile that you have a lot of cool things to be proud of. Thats cool u live in portland, ive never been there but it seems very cool. :]
