#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?
You know what? This'll require a little more tinkering with layout this weekend, but I think I can do something fun for your piece that will allow it to break from the standard fonts for the rest.
I did something a bit playful for @ceorl's story, but one thing the #Zine is still missing could be added with your base text, so I'll add that playful flair and give you your monospace, too. π

@MLClark @ceorl @JeniRizio @corlin @AndersonArtwork @POOetryma @jenebene @Boyceaz @JGSchaeffer @redenigma As a bit of context regarding why I say you might find LaTeX interesting for future projects, it absolutely blew my mind when I tried using it for academic papers, brochures, and the like.
It's super flexible, does exactly what you tell it to, is perfectly repeatable / makes templating a dream, & (if you're a quick typist) once you get past the learning cliff it's incredibly time-efficient.
@IrelandTorin @MLClark @ceorl @corlin @AndersonArtwork @POOetryma @jenebene @Boyceaz @JGSchaeffer @redenigma I submitted my second draft, please provide any changes.
Thanks!
@MLClark @ceorl @JeniRizio @corlin @AndersonArtwork @POOetryma @jenebene @Boyceaz @JGSchaeffer @redenigma Oh awesome! Thanks :)
Just out of curiosity, what kinda layout/typesetting tool are you using?
I know when I've done semi-related things, I used LaTeX.
For future projects, if you're not already familiar with LaTeX you might want to check how it compares to your existing tools & maybe try it; it's *awesome* IMHO - by far the best system I know of for making printable/publishable <things>.
