some websites that have tips on creating zines should be posted (if anyone knows any), I'm sure they could help alot of people out ^_^

As yet, I do not have a zine.
After I have completed my online project x, I am planning to get onto writing a zine about mental health disorders in life, teenagers, in music scenes, etc.. Topics incl; getting help, signs and symptoms, natural therapies and non drug forms of recovery.
How to help a friend in need and more.
Any suggestions?
xoxo

Hey Zinesters!
Finally a group I can relate to :-)
I run a feminist zine from Jerusalem, as Liouxsie mentioned earlier, called Fallopian Falafel. And yes, the latest issue is on music.
If you want any suggestions or trade or anything, drop me a line!
Peace!

haha, that's a fun name. I've heard some crazy ones before, and the easier the name is to remember, the better! Is there a meaning behind it, or do you just kinda like the way it sounds (either way it's fine)?

It's prolly a good idea to stick to things you know/like... if yr passionate about 'x' topic, yr more inclined to enjoy what yr writing about, and be able to rant on and on and on and...

what sorta plans do you have for yr zine? like, how thick are you planning on making this, is it going to be a perzine (personal-zine) or a music fanzine (where you rant about music and bands you like)? I'm trying not to overwhelm you with questions right now, so respond at yr leisure =)

Totally cool! Whats your music zines name? I do a music zine called Sour Grapes Zine (myspace.com/sourgrapeszine)

kinderwhore: I just finished my first issue of my zine pertaining strictly to music... it ended up being the thickest, which I suppose means there's a lot to say on the stuff! If you want any help or advice or words, I'd be delighted to contribute some words or wisdom. Hadass from Fallopian Falafel recently made one too, so either of us could probably help?
