What are your current projects? Options

[Retrogressive]

All of a sudden I find my time extremely stretched (and my caffeine addiction worsening). Today I was enlisted to help on yet another project that I don't have time for. I do a lot of school work during the summer (no, not summer school), but I also tend to over exhaust myself as well. I just hope I can do it all.

So, how is your summer? Are you busy? What projects are you doing?

What kind of Zine do you distrubute?

What kind of Zine do you distrubute?

Well, I don't distribute yet. However, I plan to start distribution at the beginning of this school year. It will be a zine for general social criticism. Highlights on philosophy, politics, and science. Values rooted in rationalism. Ontop of that, film and music reviews among other content. It'll be called "Trepa*Nation" (AKA Trepanation), named after the world's oldest known surgical procedure. I still needs interested writers and artists, but for now I'm fine. I have some articles written on religiousity, some literature based criticism, and film reviews already. I have some stuff from a friend on alternative energy, and I hope to get some more stuff soon.

How are you putting it together? Are you charging money for it? How do you plan to distrubute it?

How are you putting it together?

It'll most likely be small stappled booklet of sorts.
No bigger in dimension than an average piece of folded paper.
Maybe a dozen pages or so? All depending on the level of content present.
Of course, this can all change during the development. But, this'll be a good start. Once I get a better feel for what it needs, I can adapt.

Are you charging money for it?

It should be a free publication. If I need to start printing more and more paper, I may need to charge a quarter or two for each copy. Either way, I would be encouraging donation to further the project.

How do you plan to distrubute it?

As it being just a simple zine, I'll distribute by hand within local areas. Try to get a street crew going, maybe.

That sounds really nice. It cost me about.... I believe, 60 dollars an issue at Kinko's. So you might want to shop around on prices, unless you have a friend who has a copy machine. I'm sure you know to avoid franchises and such. Used book stores, record stores, comic stores, and if you have a Hastings... oh yes and coffee houses!!! You might want to try putting up signs or little logos to get people interested. Just make sure you get dedicated people. How are you doing the cover art?

Ohhh, you write a Zine? Let me know about it!
But, printing, I have a friend who has access to a free copy machine.
Yeah, I need some dedicated people. Cover art, havn't really decided yet, but I'm thinking every issue will have a picture themed around trepanation. But, for a style, I want a mixture of hand written and typed work. Also, digital art as well as sketches. Black and white, of course.

I produced one last summer. It died because I didn't get dedicated people. I type set the whole thing out on Word and by hand at my art desk. It was fairly popular when it ran, one of the writers was going to school in Boston so she distributed some there. It was basically giving writers and artists a showcase. A few people have asked me if I'm doing it this summer, but I'm involved with a webzine called SHOUT!

What's the title of it or do you know it yet? How are you putting it together?
