Hold on... wtf's a zine?

A zine (in this instance) is a handmade, independently produced, badly photocopied publication.

We want ours to be full of stories art and ideas!

Try making your writing sound more like a story than an article because it's not a magazine or newspaper we're making here and also be aware that sometimes we may not be able to fit everything we want into a single issue. Certain things might not work so well together so there is no absolute guarantee that your stuff will just go in the very next issue straight away, but it's very likely and we'll do our best!

Also, if you think you can write music (on paper), that might be kind of awesome.

One Month Later

We did it!

Congratulations people! Not only did we actually create and sell all 10 copies of our first zine, we've now actaully followed all the way through to a second issue!

Today we sat in Sticky finishing off the buttons and sticking them on all the bags before we handed up 20 copies of issue no.2
10 of them hit the shelf while 10 more are being sold online through Sticky's Mail Order Department. 7 more will be sitting in my locker at school for direct purchase at the low low price of $4. (Better get in quick though because John and Sam.M have already claimed one each... so there are really only 5 now).
You get 36 pages, a free button AND a sticker!

The deadline for issue no.3 has been set for the end of September (and will not be changing like last time) so you've got a lot of the school holidays to work on something. Get anyone you think might be interested to send us something also. Hopefully it will only get bigger and better!


By the way, we've pretty much run out of good button designs so if we're to have free buttons with the next issue you guys are gonna have to whip up something awesome. (I'm looking at you drawy people!)

I think that's all I had to announce for the moment so yeah...
Let's do it again! (because a
pparently it was quite popular last time around)
