One of my zines alerts just turned up a zine contest at a public library. Y'all zine contests are missing the point of zines and not okay. I really wish people could embrace zines without changing the culture. Here's a lovely zine definition from Nina Echozina. Note "zines are non-competitive."
trying my hardest not to be bothered by the thought of people buying stickers that look like paper scraps instead of just using actual paper scraps
Your life is art. If your life is art, then everything is a medium. If your life is art, then everyone is your audience. If your life is art, there is no culmination; there is only accumulation. The project is your life. The process is the point. abigailoswald.itch.io/the-project-...
