CIS Swear Zine

Call them swears, curse words, swears, cuss words, profanity, expletives, dirty words, or four-letter words -- Whatever you call them, you love to use them. So let's make a tribute to them!

Create a mini-zine dedicated to your favorite swear words. This can be interpreted however you'd like, but here are a few suggestions:

• An ode to your favorite word

• A page-a-word zine, in which you explain on each page why you love that word

• Swear word puzzles, like a word-find or crossword with curses

• Profanity illustrated: Draw a picture to represent each word

• Dictionary of swears: Define each word and use it in a sentence

• One word, 8 ways: Dedicate each page to a different usage of a curse word

A mini-zine is an 8-page zine created from one sheet of paper. Click for tutorial.

Please put some love into your zine. The swap requirements for a 5 are that it be an 8 page mini zine and include at least 1 swear word, prominently featured. I will angel if anyone flakes but if you flake, prepare to be on the receiving end of a lot of swearing (and a big, fat 1). This swap is sender's choice, so you're welcome to work on it ahead of partners being assigned.

You will have 3 partners to send to so you'll get 3 delightfully expletive-filled zines in return. Please note this is an international swap so you might have to spring for an international stamp (but one stamp should do it for a mini-zine).

I shouldn't have to say this, but: If you are offended by profanity, blasphemy, sacrilege, dirty words, sexuallly explicit language, or smut, you probably shouldn't join this swap.
