About Zine There, Done That
This site was built with the intention to serve as a free resource for anyone interested in getting involved in zines, whether as a moderator, a contributor, or a buyer. It is by no means a complete resource, as there are some aspects of the zine creation process that I have not touched nor been involved in, but I am also still working on adding pages and resources as I finish them.
About Slumber: Hello, it is I, Slumber. I'm putting this site together as a place primarily to store all the resources (spreadsheets, docs, etc) that I've developed from my own time running zines between May 2018 until January 2021. With the help of great mod teams, I've seen all the zines I've ever joined as a mod through to completion and various degrees of profitability, and have experience in graphics, formatting, shipping, production, finance, and communications.
