No thread on zines can be complete without mentioning Factsheet Five.[1]<p>Though it's been defunct for many years now, it was once a gigantic catalog of zines. I wonder if there's anything remotely like it now.<p>[1] - <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factsheet_Five" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factsheet_Five</a>
If you're interested in a tech-focused zine which is also online, check out <a href="https://lainzine.org" rel="nofollow">https://lainzine.org</a>. It's good – really well made, lots of cool Hacker™ content.<p>If you want to see a digital analogue to "I just started photocopying these in my basement and the binding is all off but here you go anyway" you can check out my zine, <a href="https://freezine.xyz" rel="nofollow">https://freezine.xyz</a>.
One piece of (unsolicited) feedback about your website:<p>I wanted to see your sketches, so I clicked on sketches in the top menu. But the page only appeared to have a signup form for your newsletter. I left the page because I was looking for the sketches, and after poking around a bit I realized the page scrolls and there was more content below.<p>You can see what I mean here:<p><a href="https://imgur.com/hEATRrq" rel="nofollow">https://imgur.com/hEATRrq</a>
I love zine culture and zine fests. People trading zines and sharing joy. I don't know anyone who makes reasonable money off of zines, which is both sad but also keeps the culture oriented away from money.<p>I have a short zine series on engineering management here: <a href="http://staycalmcomic.com/intro" rel="nofollow">http://staycalmcomic.com/intro</a><p>Starts with a stand-up scheduling joke and moves on to participatory decision making. Includes some easter eggs for Steven Universe lovers.<p>Feel free to read online or print out and fold into little 1-page booklets to give coworkers \o/
