Hey folks,
Let’s talk, would anyone be up for starting a zine. I’m looking to collaborate in illustrating, editing, submitting, and writing for it.
Would we want to just do a PDF upload for easy share, a website?
Are we curating the “best of” Hexbear, creating new work, adding just a little bit of spice?
You can make an account on Element and message me @marxisthayaca:matrix.org and I’ll start a groupchat.
Thoughts for highlighting some dope /c/ART, /c/writing, and other posts, PAGE of emojis spelling out a message as a fun puzzle, interview/highlighting community efforts, the recent /c/Libre+/c/Technology posts on how to go FOSS/open source and switching to Firefox.
We could have a Liberal Mountain Local News section where we write shitposts in short story format that expand upon the “lore” of the site
I would love to contribute with photo-articles.
What do we think about distribution? Web stuff is cheap. You definitely want to consider how to get people from beyond this site to read it.
It would be very good to have issues in booklet formatted pdf so that comrade readers can print them off and distributed them to friends and lonely countertops wherever they’re at. It also distributes printing costs and makes people part of the process.
Content-wise, I think it would be really great to get some humor in there, because that’ll get people to open it long enough to read something useful too. And it will give reason for readers to show people they know.
One beauty of a physical document is that it can transcend the boundaries of a self-selected internet experience, making a zine that can exist abandoned in some coffee shop or dive bar a great medium for propaganda.
