One Man Banned Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 19 hours ago, Schnitzel said: @One Man Banned just bumping this thread again and looked through last few posts. did you ever make the zine? Nah. I started a folder with select content for it but as you can imagine even looking just at the past few years there's a lot to go through to narrow down to a DIY looking/I just bootlegged my own zine type zine. I may have taken a piece or 2 of select content and turned it into stickers that may or may not be traveling the country. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The completion date is ASAP! still have to get it printed and sold etc. My original plan was to have it ready for christmas but that's not gonna happen. Trying really hard to do 4 pages a day so far today I have done 6 so I'm doing okay. for the rebuild of the original zines we're in final 50 pages and thankfully at least 16 are just drag and drop. and I've just found the printers wont be able to do a cover so I have to find another printer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnitzel Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 put in a solid twenty hours on the zine this week. fuck me dead I was shit with file storage back then. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnitzel Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 Only 32 pages to go. gutted there's a little slice of my photo history missing and in it is a great shot of a panel with a hottie walking in front of it. at least I still have the black and white 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnitzel Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 the rebuild is finished and damn it's a few pages less than I envisaged but still it's gonna be pretty sweet 236 pages thus far! gonna bulk it out with about 4/5 pages of pics of the mag in stores etc. then maybe another 40 pages of tags/hollows/ grimy graff. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnitzel Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 it's done (barring the cover) Holy fuck it's done well barring the cover converting over 600 images from RGB to CMYK and making sure they all look correct gertting a printer sorted. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just wondering if it was a mod decision that could be repeated again if we started a new thread or if it was the OP. I have a gang of zines mostly bay stuff from the 90s - present but also some others sprinkled in I would be down to do my part. I'm always looking for people to trade with so it could help. I already dedicated a good portion of my teen years to this forum no reason I can't make a come back and waste some more. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schnitzel Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Trying to work out whether or not to print my book. The presales have been so disappointing and I've only raised about 12% of my printing costs (and that's now that I've reduced the quantity potentially being printed) I can't reduce quantity any further because the unit cost goes up too high. I can cover the costs with no issue but I am not sure if I want to if I'm going to have piles of books in my shed. I can't sell it overseas unless I just pick a figure for postage and go for it. but Either way, I think it's dead in the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schnitzel Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 something to do with the imposition of the pages. the pdf I've sent for some reason stops the pages from registering correctly so page 3 will look fine but page 4 which is on the other side of the paper isn't aligned. hopefully fixed now. - if not think it's time to pull the pin and revisit in future.

Fist 666 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Maybe we could get @misteraven to help with distribution on your book stateside, @Schnitzel? shipping a bunch to one US location would be a lot cheaper. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnitzel Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 @Fist 666 that's a very kind thought. I think mine is a little amateurish for 12oz distribution. not saying it's shit but it's appeal in the US would be very minimal! when I have it completed I'll share a bit more so you guys can see what I mean. it's essentially a reissue of my old graff zine I made 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fist 666 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Maybe that's a way for Raven to both demonstrate that what he does is in fact better than everyone else, but he's still in touch with the common man. Just spitballing, but maybe there's a way for the store to push zines, too. A "Commoners' Corner," if you will. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
