hey-yo hi-yo! my name's leslie, i'm way too fond of math, a canon gay, probably like 80% bimbo, an escaped 2014 tumblr shitpost, certified emoji senpai, who you'd expect to own a reusable rainbow boba straw, and i forget to sleep a lot. ultimately i'm just tryna stay hype over the things i love ♡

recognizable zine details

these are by no means solely mine, but are typically found in the zine projects i moderate

  • no ships — in order to maximize audience reach, there is a strict no-ships (or no-other-ships) rule

  • thank-you/signature pages — filling up two pages at the end of the book, from zine contributors & mods to buyers & supporters

  • mods apply like contributors — unless a mod is also an invited contributor, if they want to participate in the zine as a contributor then they must submit an application and wait for the rest of the mod team to approve or deny their app

  • "drowning in zines" — when i'm the shipping moderator, the final packing update is my ultimate death bed: buried under approximately a hundred zines (while wearing the jacket of the alias i assumed, i.e. "Mod Kairi" "Mod Sora" "Mod Riku" "Mod Andrea")

zine resources

please be mindful of the workload when starting a zine. these projects are essentially 1 year-long small business with all the associated responsibilities. i highly recommend watching multiple zines closely before jumping in yourself, and be sure to pick a topic or fandom you want to enjoy more of!
