<blockquote><p>zcmag zine idea generator says: "Make a secret zine that uses public domain materials to illustrate a tarot spread." Challenge accepted!</p>
<blockquote><p>I am planning on making a zine that communicates some practical skill, maybe soup making or similar. If not I will make an art zine.</p>
<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>
<ul>
<li>Galatea vs. The Divine Feminine is a tragicomic litzine, flash fiction story about a terrible t4t art school couple.</li>
<li>Worm Porno is a quirky perzine about writing Star Trek fanfic and smut with friends.</li>
<li>I Just Think She's Neat, vol. 1: Kristen Stewart is a gay cinephile fanzine about the underrated actor, producer, and director and covers 10 of her films and some of her onscreen aptitudes.</li>
<li>Elixir of Sex Shift is a perzine about my life, the COVID-19 pandemic, and tabletop roleplaying games, and how playing off-brand D&D online transed my gender.</li>
<li>The Girl at the Snack Bar is Getting Fired is a flash fiction minizine in the form of increasingly unhinged ""specials"" signs made by our titular Snack Bar Girl.</li>
<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>autobiographical zine about being trans</p>
<blockquote><p>digitally designed zine in color about leatherworking tools and basics. will have a digital printable version as well as a web version with text alternatives and with all tools linked to actual listings in a store.</p>
<blockquote><p>Bats in your belfry or habitation? A quick guide on what to do if you find yourself with a creature of the night as your unexpected roommate.</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>An art zine with maybe some poetry</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>
