Description:

I'm still a newbie and this is my first time hosting a swap, but I'm very familiar with zine trades. Zines are what got me to Swap-Bot, so I'm opening this swap up to other newbies as well. No requirements for number of swaps. Just try to have a filled out profile. If you barely have anything in your profile I reserve the right to ban.

If you don't know what a zine is: Zines are self-published booklets that are generally created and distributed by one person or a small group of people, often photocopied and stapled. Zines can be about anything, and may contain art, collage, personal writing, fiction, poetry, and more! Most zines are shorter than 100 pages.

This swap is for smaller zines. You'll have two partners, and will send one zine to each partner. It could be a zine that you made or one from your collection. No content restrictions, but make sure to check your partners' profiles to make sure you don't send them something with content they don't want to see (i.e. religion, politics, nudity).

Requirements:

  • Each zine must be between 16 and 48 pages long. No zines made out of a single page of paper unless you send two of them (2 mini zines will equal one normal size zine.)
  • Each zine must be either 1/8 or 1/4 size (1/8 or 1/4 of the size of a sheet of letter paper or the International equivalent)
  • Each zine must be bound in some way (staples, sewn, etc.)
  • Include a note with your username and swap ID.

Any extras are entirely optional.

If you have never made a zine before and want to make one for this swap, here is some information you may find helpful: http://www.undergroundpress.org/pdf/Zines101.pdf https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/ZineMaking/Puttingpages_together

Rate 5 even if you don't care for the zine you get, as long as it meets the requirements.

I'm new, but I'll try to angel for this swap since I have a lot of zines.
