Hi

Hope all is good with you. Enjoying the recent Japanese content as well as the occasional fanzine scan. You were kind enough to scan in a York fanzine (Beaten to the Punch) a few years back for me as it contained a review of the first gig by The Sisters of Mercy, and I did a post on it for my own blog about T’Sisters. Blog posts like that one helped to revive interest in the early days of the band and since then there have been two excellent biographies published about the band, so thanks again for your help. I noticed amongst the cover scans that you have added that there is one for another York zine, Getting Nowhere Fast, which says that there is an interview with TSOM inside, which is probably one of their first ever interviews (possibly the second, as an educated guess, after the one in Leeds zine Whippings and Apologies).

I know from previous replies to others that you don’t have much time for scanning zines these days, and you must be snowed under with requests, but if you could put it up one day, I and many other fans would be very grateful.

Cheers

Nik

Hi Nik

Thanks for getting in touch again. I'm currently recovering from a night of drunken karaoke in Tokyo, and will be returning to Europe at the end of the week....

I should be able to scan and upload a few more zines in 2025 and already made a short list, to which I'll add that issue of Getting Nowhere Fast. If I remember correctly it's A5 size and fairly short and sweet. The issue of Beaten To The Punch that I posted featured the band Girls At Our Best! - and Getting Nowhere Fast is also the name of their first single - so there's a connection....

I can't promise to post it by a certain date but it will definitely go up at some point.

All the best for Xmas and the New Year!

Cheers

Absolutely losing my mind over Scar’s stream today

He was already talking to Etho while catching ocelots

Joel logs in and Scar immediately asks if Etho wants to go visit him

We get so many Etho lore crumbs (although he doesn’t fully confirm anything except having stubble and trying to get rid of 2 extra house generators)

They hang out for like 2 hours doing nothing hut chatting

Eventually Scar leaves but forgot that he left his ocelots at Etho’s because he was so excited about boat boys that he never brought them home

if anyone is able to help me out i'd appreciate it, im still broke as hell. this month has been really difficult for me. i worked a total of 5 days all month and my bank account is in the negatives again after paying bills and getting some living essentials. i dont know how im going to pay my rent like this. i applied to a financial relief fund from a local trans advocacy group but it's going to be a few weeks until anything comes from that. if you have literally anything to spare it would help me out a lot 😭🙏 i feel bad ive been asking for help so often and i know everyone is struggling, im working on getting my life back in order but everything fucking sucks and is difficult right now :( even just spreading this is a huge help

ideal ggy reveal for me right now is some sort of game whatever format theyd use (for example sb vs hw is very different storytelling) about vanny killing dr rabbit and it leads up to the beginning of sb at the end

Once again I am thinking about becoming an art teacher vs. thinking about how fast I'd get fired if I became an art teacher

Kitty Classroom Habits

Kitty propped her chin on her hand and her nose twitched as if to feel with whiskers she didn’t have. She finished her line and dropped her pen to the desk while Professor Piper answered someone’s question. She stared at her notes, the main ideas of the lecture drifted lazily around the page, literally, each bullet point had a slight motion to it, moving along with her pen as she rolled it over the table. She yawned to clear her throat.

“Are we boring you, Ms. Cheshire?” The voice cut sharply across the hall as the professor stopped mid explanation to call out to her.

“Mnnn, No?” She slouched more over her desk to get comfortable as the rest of the class looked at her. The silence in the room continued for another few seconds before Professor Piper stopped waiting for whatever it was he wanted from her and finally turned back to finish answering Hopper’s question. 

“Disrespectful” he muttered under his breath as he turned back to the board, too quiet for other students to hear, and added another symbol to his chart of chords, launching into an explanation of its effects in magical songs. 

She stiffened, her ears flattening against her head, and paused in the diagram she was copying.

“Kitty Cheshire?” There was a pause, Kitty watched a couple students look around from where she wasn’t lounging. As far as the world of Ever After was concerned, she didn’t exactly exist at the moment. “Kitty Cheshire? …Absent.” Mr. Badwolf sniffed and marked something in his planner, the short pencil looking even smaller in his hand. She rolled over onto her back and stretched out her hands as he finished calling attendance. She watched him teach upside down, in a position that would have the blood rushing to her head if ever after gravity had been working the way it did for everyone else. The lesson this time was really very interesting, she twirled her non existent pigtails around her non existent fingers as Mr. Badwolf discussed the different types of lying. He wrote the “three ‘T’s” on the board, Telling, Trickery, and Truth. He explained how the easiest way to tell a lie was not to tell one. He called on Faybelle to tell a story and when Mr. Badwolf retold the story each detail was twisted to seem like something else. He asked the class if he had lied, and half of it disagreed. Kitty’s giggles seemed to echo from nowhere in particular.

Hi beans I'm back from my mega hiatus, hope you all are doing well while I've tried to recover from the super stress episode. I'm doing much better, have started new hobbies and life overall is better at the moment. My creativity is flowing back to me finally and that means I can focus more on drawing again. I'm so excitedly looking forward to share my art again ;u; ♥
