I found you via YouTube and was sooo excited to see that you also run an active blog. I added it to my RSS reader and spent all evening reading your posts and perusing the zine reviews. I’ve been interested in zines for years but have only ever made a few, like 2-3??? I think the endless possibilities create a kind of analysis paralysis for me. So your tip about creating restrictions and limitations to squeeze out creativity is spot on. I plan to focus on making zines for 2026 and your website is a huge inspiration.
Oh and then I find out you have a neocities, too? So awesome!
Ahhh I checked out your neocities and now I’m the one inspired! Your site is so cool (and mine is in desperate need of updates LOL) Anyways, thanks for being here and adding me to your rss feed; and if you do make another zine one day, I’d love to do a zine trade, if you’re up for it.
