  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.

  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.

• Mariah Currey

  is planning a physical/digital zine...

  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: rainydaymariah.itch.io

  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.

• Ranna

  is planning a physical zine...

  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.
