<blockquote><p>Not sure which zine(s) I would like to submit! I've made 9 since June of last year when I got the zine fever. If we're okay with multiple digital submissions I might go in for that. If not, please let me know if any of these seems more aligned with the project than the others:</p>

<blockquote><p>Scroll Lock is a 20-page Risograph-printed zine that explores our relationship with technology: what it promised, what it delivered, and what we do now.</p>
<p>But it is also more than that. A closer look reveals a loose thread that pulls from the page to the web, in a journey that tells the story of important project in the history of computing.</p>

<blockquote><p>I made a small comic this summer and i'd like to print it in zine form with bonus illustrations and prep sketches. It's about a bunch of kids living in a dieselpunk junkyard racing wacky vehicles. Friends become enemies and enemies become friends, lots of vroom vroom. <ahref="https://mastodon.art/@leavt/113056897528979869"target="_blank"rel="external">preview</a></p>

<blockquote><p>I make supernatural slice of life and romance comics. Most of them also have some horror elements. The shorter ones I have available in digital and printed zine formats. Some of them are nsfw. Most of them are vampire related, though I also have some werewolf and fae comics. For the physical zine, if nsfw is okay I would be most interested in sending in Knotted by my Hot Werewolf Husband (fluffy smut of a werewolf/fae husband wife duo having sex in the woods). If sfw is better, I could do Our Grand Illusion (lesbian vampire retelling of Phantom of the Opera), Modern Ghouls (vampire bffs slice of life), or Besotted by a Maniac Goblin Nightmare Girl (Hot Werewolf Husband prequel of how they met). I these would also be my picks for digital. They're all on my itchio if you'd like to check out the listings for more info and art: <ahref="https://rainydaymariah.itch.io/"target="_blank"rel="external">rainydaymariah.itch.io</a></p>

<blockquote><p>My zines are inspired by science fiction, conversations with friends, and observations of everyday life. For FediZineFest, I'll probably submit an issue of my newsletter-like zine, Open Curiosity, which combines all these topics.</p>
<blockquote><p>a small illustrated zine providing details on how to fix a flat tire on a bicycle. The zine will cover the basic process of replacing an inner tube, and some thoughts about troubleshooting</p>
<blockquote><p>THE GHOST IN THE MIRROR IS ME is a calm, horrifying, and starkly beautiful reminiscing of an atrocity that is only as true as you believe. It is a pure black and white work of sequential art at about 30 pages. I wrote it on the anniversary this year on the winter solstice.</p>
<blockquote><p>Working on a little 12 page zine called 'Perhaps you might try the soup' In design style it's kind of photo collage, (from original material) and abstract or surreal comics. The content is an odd mish mash of hopepunk, poetry, graphical music and experimental prose. There is strictly no ai generated text or imagery and no use of LLM or diffusion models. Everything is self made by a human.</p>
<blockquote><p>abstract, absurd, surreal, experimental?... Perhaps comics-adjacent or sciFi-adjacent?... some manner of weird zine, mainly images with some text like experimental prose or poetry, even?... Around 20 pages in A5. No 'AI' or image/text generation, just human made digital art.</p>
<blockquote><p>I make ink drawings of various critters, and just realized that some of them make for really nice coloring pages. So now I am suddenly using my own xeroxed drawings as a coloring book, as well as working on making them available as such to others :)</p>
<blockquote><p>I'm working on a quarter page zine I'm calling works cited. It's somwhere between litzine and perzine. Each page contains one sentence with either a footnote or endnote (still working on formatting). The foot/endnote leads to a roughly paragraph length mini-essay about my experiences with urban wildlife/nature. There may or may not be hand-drawn illustrations of flowers, depending on formatting.</p>
<blockquote><p>i've made lots of zines and am always looking for reasons for more! the ones i'm most proud of include: travelogue about biking around lake superior as a queer/trans chick -- 'public bathrooms of twin cities cemeteries' (you can look this up on archive.org) -- and various political projects especially related to minneapolis, the george floyd uprising and anarchism/abolitionism. … things i have in the works include a historical fiction alternate history of the george floyd uprising, and a piece about queerness, rebellion and covid</p>
<blockquote><p>I’m gonna try to do that George Floyd uprising alternate history I was thinking about last time, but I might also do something else. In any case, it’ll be SHORTER than last years honker lol</p>

<blockquote><p>It will be chicken themed. A brief history of the chicken. One panel chicken comics. Chickens as famous literary characters. Something along those lines.</p>

<blockquote><p>I particularly like photography zines geared towards texture, both black and white, and color. I deliver finals as print-ready DRM-Free PDF, and it's cool to distribute them as such. I also do zines of written word and art.</p>
<blockquote><p>The Vac is a contract/consent ethicist with forays into art, music, literature, and whatever else strikes its fancy. This usually means being somewhere under a cat.</p>
<blockquote><p>Photocopy collage zine on the topic of precarious embodiment, environment, and attachment. Source material includes 1980s Shipping industry magazines, Little White Lies, midcentury childrens novels, the Kinsey reports, various other odds and ends. I'll provide a digital scan as well as physical copies.</p>
