#Zine update:
Despite all you nutters with your chaos of submissions formats (I kid - it's actually very true to the creation process of a classic 'zine!), we're closing in on a final layout.
We're looking at a 24-pager, once @JeniRizio has sent along a follow-up email.
Colour and formatting tweaks next, but I also need the names you want to go by! (Anon's covered.)
@ceorl, @corlin, @AndersonArtwork, @POOetryma, @jenebene, @Boyceaz, @JGSchaeffer, @IrelandTorin, @redenigma, what'll it be?
@MLClark @JeniRizio @ceorl @corlin @POOetryma @jenebene @Boyceaz @JGSchaeffer @IrelandTorin @redenigma
I go by:
R. Scott Anderson
p.s. So those were ok as submissions? I have others. And I can send any of them as text rather than in meme form.
They were indeed, Scott!
I took Ocean's Breath for this issue, and I look forward to seeing another of your pieces for Issue 2 (after this one's been put to bed!).
I received work via Discord, email, photo meme, blog link, CoSo toot, third-party dropbox... everything but smoke signal and carrier pigeon! 😅
All part of the fun (& proof that herding cats is easier).
Thanks so much!

@MLClark @AndersonArtwork @ceorl @corlin @POOetryma @jenebene @Boyceaz @JGSchaeffer @IrelandTorin @redenigma I find as a journalist, a lot of publications like a Word doc using 12 pt Times New Roman.
@MLClark @JeniRizio @AndersonArtwork @ceorl @POOetryma @jenebene @Boyceaz @JGSchaeffer @IrelandTorin @redenigma
agree.
this be a Zine, called abZurd, after all.
Fonts like TNR, are "the man's" fonts.
😁
@JeniRizio
That is indeed the standard - though the standard has been shifting a bit in recent years, with respect to fonts.
(e.g., I submit all my reviews and stories in Garamond, but for one of my editing jobs TNR is absolute.)
But this project inspired by the classic 'zine culture, so I'm totally okay with folks manifesting its chaos while they build confidence in submitting at all. :)
