Description:

So, I like reading zines! But what do we do with them once we've read them? Don't you have zines where you love the content so much you wish everyone else could read it? Or where you don't agree and wonder what other people think?

This is a swap for those zines.

  • You will send your partner two zines.

  • For this swap, zines must be at least loosely political. I know that it's a difficult line! So overtly political like anarchist, feminist, vegan, queer, trans,squatting etc., or loosely, I don't know.. like "why I love aromatherapy and think it's a good alternative to strictly pharmaceutical-company medicines" .. or something!

  • If you are a zine maker yourself, you may send one of your own, and then one of someone else's. There is no obligation whatsoever to send a handmade zine! This is just to get us swapping reading material.

  • For this swap two mini zines [made from one sheet of A4] would only count as one zine due to small size.

  • Extra ideas in the comments!

If this swap is popular we can have more of them in this group? I wanted to start it small so that people who only have a couple of zines can join in. Maybe next time someone could do a perzine swap, recipe zine swaps [re-swapping from the group swap that just happened maybe?], or craft zines, art zines, comic zines.. limitless!

PLEASE NOTE: By joining this swap you accept that you may receive zines that do not adhere to your personal beliefs. You also accept that you may receive zines containing swear words, sexual topics and taboos. Etc. [Having said this I hope no one would ever send racist, sexist or homophobic zines. That would be sad]

  • If you want you could always send extra photocopied pages from zines you can't bear to part with.

  • If you want you can look at your partner's profile and either send something that corresponds to their interests, or something totally different! It is totally sender's choice though.

  • Why not consider sticking post-its with your own comments about particular articles onto the pages of the zine/s you send?
