Description:
Winter is cold and long and the anticipation of spring can be agonizing for some of us so let's write a zine about winter to give us an outlet for our winter thoughts and memories. It can include childhood memories, winter dreams, yummy recipes to enjoy on a cold day, wintery craft ideas, pictures of your best snowman, just reminance about why you love or hate winter and tell us about it! Partners: 5 International Size: NO mini zines. Can be Half or Fourth size. Mine will be 1/2 size with 12 pages and a cover, so any combination of that would be fine. Can be typed on computer or the cut and paste method, whatever suits your fancy. Ratings: 4.9 All threes must be explained, and no ones. I reserve the right to ban swappers at my discretion.

what size zine does it need to be or does it matter? and how many pages? my old zines were always 3x5 and about 10 pages long.

Any size is fine as long as its not a mini. I will add that to the description thanks.

I'm new to zines. What is considered "mini"? Does Half and Fourth size refer to half of an 8.5"x11" and fourth of an 8.5"x11" respectively? This sound like fun. Will watch for now.

Half and Fourth fold would be what this swap is looking for, thanks.

My zines were mailed today and I'm so excited to have them out. With the computer down and having to re-do them, it was a real challenge for me. I hope you enjoy them! As a side note...it SNOWED here in Arkansas today. Fitting, isn't it? lol
