Hey Dream #Zine Team!

I did not forget our fantastic conversation the other day.

I've organized our thread notes into a mock-up that is BY NO MEANS SET IN STONE.

It just represents how bad-ass I think this idea is, and how much I hope we can build upon it going forward. (Sometimes having visual cues also help for further brainstorming.) So fling more ideas at it!

All welcome, of course! This is a decidely CoSo production.

@MLClark @BosmangBeratna @LaurelGreen @corlin @ceorl @redenigma so this is cool. What’s the next step ? I’m kind confused. Do I need to write something ?

@NiveusLepus

We're still brainstorming around a preliminary mock-up!

Next step will be blocking a fuller mock-up with a few different font types, and firming up a few section layouts.

Is there anything you'd like to see in such a zine? Anything in particular you'd like to share in the way of writing or other art?

You're of course welcome to be a reader without putting your paw in this, but your ideas and work are welcome here as well!

Idea:

I am thinking about format and printing. My proposal is to offset print this on 8 ½ x11 sheet. Folded in half to 8 ½ x 5 ½, and two "saddle stitched" staples. The number of pages to be determined.

Of course the other alternative is to print on 11 x 17 sheet folded and saddle stitched to 8 ½ x 11, a larger format.

The smaller format appeals to me, but I can go either way.

btw

To push on this to go from brainstorm to layout and design, I hereby take on the responsibility of printing stapling, and mailing out the first issue of "abZurd".... as my gift.

You all design it. I will make it a real thing in the world.

(yes I will write some copy)
