Yoo I just stumbled on this but I LOVE the idea!! Will hopefully get around to trying soon but thought I'd leave a comment for now :]

I'd be happy to :D

Debating on extending by a week. What do you all think? Would the extra time help?  :]

You are more than welcome to submit old work too if that takes off some pressure!!!

Hii I have been afflicted with many ideas head empty orz! What are you guys up to?!

Just a place to chat :D

Love love love the vibes here !!

hey! I get the theme of the jam but could you make the page accessible please? It's currently really hard to read with red on blue xnsbsn

Go wild with 'em!

Hoping to keep ideas in one place but don't worry too much if you ask elsewhere :D 

will make a general theme category too bc I forgot xD

Yess!! This has given me a few ideas already so I'd love to put it in my list :D 

Here is a complinetary pompompurin~

Hey all!

Life hit the fan for a bit but I'd like to work on organising the submissions into a library or compilation for people to look at. For now, you can see what people submitted here on the jam page! 

Thought it would be nice to let folks know where I am at there. A kind stranger was helpful enough to provide me with a website template to display the files. Just need to fiddle and put it together.

In other news....

Mark your calendars for March as Z.I.Y returns for a mini zine jam. I hope you are all ready to flex some creativity and  spread the love for that single sheet of paper left in the pack!!

Theme: TBN (optional)

Ideas:

- info, art, poetry, music, photos,

- whatever u want rlly! 

Hope you all look forward to another round :D 

Other plans I have include:

- old school fanzine jam 

- coding zine jam 

- collab zines 

- more templates 

- more zinessss 

- a little game or 2 

Till next time ^__^

aaa!! I'm glad it's helpful omg. I plan to update w/ more style of zines too. Even flexagons >:D

Playing around with grid snapping, rect select + fill tool is what got me by honestly :]

Love you all for being awesome and making this little jam a blast!! I'm planning on compiling the zines still but the poll results are broken ahaha. 

Feel free to message here if you'd like to  submit but missed the deadline or if you want your zine in the library :D 

Any feedback is welcome too for any future jams!! Looking to place another in april.

Keep up with my random musings here on discord!

Thank you to all who have joined and taken part so far. It means the world to me that people saw this and went "Hey! That seems fun!". I haven't run an event in a while so I'm pleased with the turnout. Everyone's submissions so far are awesome!!

As a reminder, everyone is welcome to join the discord server to talk about all things creative (especially zines)!! I'd like to compile submissions together into a library too. Working on creating a site to host on neocities currently.

An extension is possible if people would like as well! Although you may see vol 2 of Z.I.Y around spring if you need another motivational nudge ;D 

Enjoy a decade old masterpiece from my old DSi <3

Trying to keep my updates casual as I'm one person and not some scary formal monster behind a screen 😅

Aha thank you :D and I hope they embrace it too! Was just about to upload issue (vol? part? idk lol) 2 as I finally finished it 👉👈

Can't wait to tear into more paper to make a 3rd!

This is really cool! The ds stuff made me reslly nostalgic too. 

I remember using the camera on my DSi to take photos then colour pick them to draw over with :O. Was debating on making a zine based on those so this is perfect >:D 

 (thank god 10 yr old me thought to save this!) 

That sounds really cool! I think zines provide an awesome format for getting knowledge out their in an easier to digest format :D 

You should make that game zine though!  I've been trying to orchestrate one myself but have gotten overwhelmed a lil bit (a bit more than I could chew). For now, it's one of my many world-building projects. 

The idea of a fill-in over-time zine sounds interesting as well :o It'd be a nice memoir to reflect on and see what's changed. I always struggled to fill photobooks but scrapbools and zines feel a lot more fun yknow?

I hope your day is awesome!! 

At the moment, I am working on making a zine about zines! I thought it would be fitting for this jam but turned out to be a lot more work than I thought.

Zines are very personal to their creators and often carry an imprint of their essence wherever they go! My point being it is rather hard to make a be-all-end-all on the subject but I hope to make something digestible for anyone to be able to jump in.

That's all I have to share right now really!

What got you into making zines and why do you make them? Are there any tricks, tips or tools you use behind the scenes? Let me know below :)

I'm planning on adding a little workbook for zine making at the back so any answers to those will help. 

hi, whats the pw? :0 was looking to read if still available
