What is a zine?
 
Well, a zine is basically a creative mambo jumbo of chaos. That's how mine turn out anyway. The jist of them is sort of a journal-type deal but not. Follow me?
 
(The following was taken from http://www.undergroundpress.org/zines.html): Zines are publications done for the love of doing them, not to make a profit or a living. Most zines are photocopied. Some are printed offset like a magazine, but with a print run of hundreds or possibly thousands instead of hundreds of thousands or more. In a zine, you might find typos, misspelled words, improper grammer, and brilliant or radical or just plain honest ideas that simply aren't allowed in Time, Newsweek, or People Magazine.
Zines are different from e-zines, which are "zines" published on the Internet (via personal web pages or email lists). More and more, both "zines" and "e-zines" are used to describe these electronic publications. We review both types of publications, but there are significant differences between the two genres, and Zine World chooses to retain the distinction. If we say "zine," we mean something on paper.
 
"Okay, Kelley... get to the point."
 
Ladies and gentleman, I'm trying to compose a collection of zines. So far I have one created from 2003. Needless to say, they're not exactly evolving at a steady pace. What I really need are ideas. Thoughts to inspire me. Even, "What's your perspective on cat vomit?" would be much appreciated.  Or, if you'd like to submit something to me to stick into the collection, that would be happy also. If I were to use it, I would be sure to give you full credit and would stick your piece on my site if you gave me permission to do so.
 
Anyway, at the moment it's just an idea in the making but I'm hoping things work out in the end. Hope to get some feedback soonish.
