Thanks to everyone who has been participating in this swap, it's so much fun!!

Whether you are new to zines or a pro, this is a swap to share your unique mini-zine and also send each other your comments. (Keep in mind ratings are only for the finished product, not necessarily for quality or craftsmanship!) This is a great way to start out if you are new to this or help each other with ideas and tips.

In this swap you will create a mini-zine (1 page folded into 8 mini-pages) and send to 5 partners. Can be color or black-and-white, pics or text, whatever you like! Format is also your choice - make it unique to you!! Journal style, mini-articles, photos, recipes, news, opinions, absolutely anything goes!! Newbies are welcome, we all had to start somewhere!! Just no flakers please. I will angel if needed but it shouldn't even be an issue right?? O:)

Here is a template for the mini-zine: http://www.knowledgeup.com/2007/11/05/diy-mini-8-page-pocket-zine/ (or you can use your own format if you like!)

I've signed up! I'm not exactly new to zines, but my background is in SF fanzines, so this is something new for me! Looking forward to having a go.

Just wanted to add a note. I'm new to this, so if anyone is feeling nervous, I've actually finished my contribution! It wasn't easy (all the templates online are for US size paper, not A4) but with a bit of jiggling, I got it all done. It's all printed out, 5 copies, ready and waiting for the swap to begin!

How do you print one of these?

violetmoncoeur 06/14/2009 #

does it have to be printed or can it be artfully-yet-neatfully hand done??

I'm going to have a practice run this month and see if I can sign up for July's one :)

sorry haven't had my computer for a few days! assigning partners now.... yes it can be hand done, however you would like to make it, the template is just a place to start from if you aren't sure :)

I got a bit confused over the use of the term "partners". I thought I'd be sending to five people and those same five people would send to me. I didn't realise that it would be five completely different people! So I got confuzzled when I got zines from people who were not on my list! LOL!!

Sorry to all the people who havent recieved a zine from me and yes i do have an explanation for it- i went to swimming lessons for 2 weeks but on the last week, which was this one, i got a severe flu so i was in bed this whole week. As i said before im extremely sorry for not being able to send the zines but im sending a friend to send them for me on Monday- Maria M.
