Description:
The latest incarnation of the immortal Zine-Go-Round Swap. It works like this. Round 1: You will make a mini-zine from an 8.5 X 11 inch piece of paper (or a nonstandard zine from a different size paper. An 11 X 17 sheet yields an approximately 4" X 6" zine). You will decide on a theme for your zine and decorate the front page (cover) accordingly. Include your contact info on the back cover so your zine can be returned to you when complete. Then you will send that unfinished zine to your partner. Round 1 complete! Round 2: You will decorate page 2 of the zine you received in Round 1. Follow the originator's theme. Then you will send it to your Round 2 partner. Rounds 3 thru infinity: We will continue swapping zines, contributing one page at a time until they are full. If you complete the final page, you must send it back to the originator. You will have to send a different zine to the partner you are assigned in that round. Use any media you like - collage, pencil, marker, paint - whatever medium you like to create with. Have fun! We did a bunch of these a number of years ago and they are GREAT fun! It's so cool to see everyone's art and different takes on themes. Be sure to put your address or contact info on the back page, or the person who adds the final page won't know whom to send it back to. Clear as mud? Please send any questions you might have to me via PM, not this page. We'll do about a month more or less between rounds.

Just curious...... is everyone receiving copies of the zines they contributed to? I took part in the first 7 or 8 swaps, but only got one finished zine sent to me. Was really hoping to see more of the finished zines!

I have received a couple. I haven’t got mine back yet, but I plan on sending everyone a copy when I do.

I recvd my zine back and I still have to send out the copies. I took the zine to a really nice copier and made super copies.

I hope to get copies of ones too.

I got my first zine back in December 2021. I emailed copies of my Texture zine when I got the completed zine back. Here's a link to my pdf copy: Little Book of Texture Zine-Go-Round.

I haven't gotten many completed zines back either.

Most people do put their names and addresses on their pages hoping for one.

It's not a requirement of the swap - and I don't think I would want to make it one - but what do you think, ZMACS group?

It might feel like pressure to make it a requirement to send a hard copy of a completed zine, but I believe someone sent out a printable PDF version of a completed zine (I think I saw that in another swap comment thread unless I dreamed it, lol) and I thought that was a great idea if it is hard for folks to send a hard copy. I hadn't thought to put my email address on them.

Im positive, in a previous zine swap, the swap description read: If you would like a copy of your zine add your addy to the back of your page. Badabing! I thought it was, at this point, agreed and accepted by all participants of zinesters. Thats how the addy on the back started. We could add to the back "PDF ok" otherwise hard copy preferred. Some of us dont have access to a printer AND until very recently I did not know how to print. There are some dinosaurs around. LOL
