IndyZine
« on: August 29, 2007, 07:32:09 pm »
I have an idea.  Nothing says indy like a poorly produced zine! It's been an idea of mine for a while, but recently I've discovered a slight problem, I don't have anything near enough works to make something worth photocopying and mailing them out. So...how about some of you all give me something to publish! It would run about $1 to mail. If I can get enough of them sold I could probably give some if not all for free to the people who supply stuff for it. Just an idea, if you're interested let me know!

If I were releasing a zine, I would make it free or the cost of postage.

IT IS THE EUROPEAN WAY.

While that does sound good in theory, aren't we a little too globally spread to make something like that work?

Here's the great deal. I have publishing software that allows me to print to adobe pdf. We can all distribute locally. Sort of a group project. The reason I suggest a $1 is because copies cost money as does postage. It wouldn't be too bad to hand out around my campus but I am a poor college kid now. Then again I guess I could just go to a computer lab and use the schools paper...yes...

We can worry about all that later the question at hand is can I even fill up a zine. I'm looking at making one 20 pp. counting the covers. I know we've collectively got enough on here to fill that up several times over! Once I've got one filled up I can find some way to post the pdf on here and you can all see what you think. If you don't like it I tank that copy and try to make one on my own or with the help of friends. Anyone want to ante up?

Mm. Maybe. I'll consider it. It sounds like a good idea though.

Well... I never really considered us distributing it... which now that I think of it is somewhat strange. neoeno, whom were you planning to have distribute these indyzines? If no one then it would make sense to just put it online an organise a campaign.

Artsy help on it would be nice. I don't have it very artsy as of now. I have an artsy cover that I made from clippings, packing tape, and a torn up post it note. There is definitly room for improvement though! The real problem is still content.

I think bios would be cool.

Piece of the month.

Stuff like that?

Would we still need the news letter?

I agree with Aether. A zine would in no way be a replacement for anything IndyFluency offers. It's more of an addition in order to show off our talented writers. Some of the best works are indy and we can prove it.

Oh, sorry.

I was just saying.

So how often is this going to come out?
