#zine nonsense

[getvalentined]

Okay so. So so so. Y'all remember the Vincent fanzine I helped to mod, Chaos Theory? It earned a little under $3500 and we donated just shy of $1500, giving over 40% of the project's gross revenue to charity. Another fanzine I contributed to earned about $5400 and donated a little under $1900, around 35% of the project's gross revenue.

This seems...correct, to me? These are charity projects, earning money for charity is the most important part. (The second-most important part is love of the theme/character/source material/etc., but I've talked about that before.)

That One Fanthology™ has finally made its donation, three years into the lifespan of the project. Thrilled that they actually managed to finish (with a product that barely resembles what was advertised, but that's neither here nor there). The finance data they've shared shows that the project earned over $24000, which is really impressive, and donated…just over $2100.

No, that's not a typo. $2100. Two thousand one hundred dollars.

The project's final donation is less than 9% of its gross revenue.

This project bills itself as existing for the explicit purpose of raising money for charity, but poured five times the funding into production as they did into the donation. They donated less than half again what my little couldn't-even-get-60-preorders niche fanzine was able to donate, while being cut from almost seven times the earnings.

Charity project my fucking ASS.

[pocketfullofarchivists]

long time ago I saw a post about handmade zines with instruction. I remember how someone turned they post into little zine and it looked fun

So today I had nothing to do better than try and make a zine

no thoughts, no theme past “I have highlighters and also faux & stallion in my ears”

Behold:

sometimes i find old hidden ideas that i forgot about in my notes app

[lenievi]

an idea (a response to this)

whenever the Enterprise is studying something McCoy is really into that takes days, Kirk pretends to skip meals, so he can force McCoy to eat something

McCoy doesn't notice and believes that Kirk is just terrible at taking care of himself, so he orders a yeoman to periodically bring meals to Kirk. And he often takes over.

i know that watching videos of podcasting is cringe in a true self/false self way but as someone who also over-psychoanalyzes cishet boyfriends who "aren't on social media" this spoke to me

[getvalentined]

That One Fanthology™ be like

Charity donation: $2000

Shipping in fancy custom packaging: $6000

Printing and 30+ pieces of merch: $11000

Unrelated business overhead: $3000

Taxes for some reason: $2000

Someone who is good at the economy please help me budget this. The charity is dying.
