    i love that even though "zines" has been used by folks to name their fully bulk-printed and professionally bound art books - the "zine" essence cannot be co-opted because it's ultimately about what you can do with what you have + you just wanna say something by yourself or with your friends/community - and your video reminded me of that, thank you!!!

    lately i decided to take part in a butchfemme zine (beloved zine) for it's third issue titled "flesh" and i submitted a short story! i really loved the idea of a zine and even though i won't be able to hold it in my own hands because i cant afford the printed version, i decided to make my own zine just now. ive binged some of your videos bc youtube seemed to be yelling ZINEEEE MAKE A ZINE at me with it's recommendations and honestly - thank god it did! i can't decide between a fanzine about "bones and all" and "the bastard son and the devil himself". maybe i'll just do both :) im not very artistically talented but if i trace reference photos and just do some doodles i should be fine haha a zine about a music album or a specific musician also sounds fun but i'll focus on my initial ideas for now because those are the two things im so fixated on atm! great video btw!!

    I started making zines just in the past few days because I came across a clip saying "hey if you're nuerodivergent and want to share your interests, an easy way to do that is zines!" And here I am making zines for all the little nich things I would only save to a pinterest board and actually making them into something to share physically with people! It makes me really happy, and some I've met that get excited to read the new ones I bring with me places!

    What kept me from making zines in the past was that I had so many ideas, and I didn't know when to start. But when I made my first zine a week ago, it was when I managed to find time to turn my ideas into zines. Also, I appreciate how you mentioned that you're neurodivergent because I'm autistic. You are an inspiration.

    I’m a few decades older than you and this video inspired me to create a zine to replace my business cards. I’ve heard of Zines but really never “got” what they were till finding your channel. I started a new business a little over 5 years ago and what I do isn’t easily described (I’m a Fractional CEO - everyone reading this probably had to look it up🤣). HOWEVER… a Zine is the remedy. I can create one with QR codes to my websites, videos and other info. Business cards get trashed as soon as people get back to their office, but a Zine has helpful info. I’m super inspired. Thank you!

I've wanted to make more article-based things. but nothing was creative enough. and blogs are confusing to make. now I'm like "Zines!

    A zine might actually be a good way to finally share some texts about places in my hometown that I wrote for literature class. Only my teacher has properly seen them and I don't think she appreciates them. I don't know if anyone else will, but I guess it's worth trying out.

    Zines are something I'd love to try but I'm still unsure about what to make them about. I have some major special interests but for a zine, I'd like to try something that I like but may not the the first thing that comes to my head. One thing I like to think about from time to time is how physics and time are so directly linked--our perception of time is, truly, an illusion, or at least incredibly malleable. I'm not an physicist by any means but it's cool.

    I did a treatment for depression that worked great but came with a cost. So it comes with some possibly short term memory loss. -but there’s a lot missing... I may have to do it again because reasons. I want to make zines of memories, and moments and formative experiences that I’m terrified to lose. I didn’t know how to preserve them and then I saw this. I just wanted to say thank you Zine Lady! You’re cool af and I appreciate you. I dunno if you can fathom how grateful and relieved I am to be excited and able to do it and I’m literally gonna start now. -but like it’s a lot. You help people save themselves maybe. One memory at a time you inspired me to save me in case I forget. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

    I've been marathoning your videos and they have been very freeing. The first time I encountered the term "zine" was because of the application based fan project "art books" i've seen floating around online (not sure if there's a better way to describe them) -- which do end up really cool while being intimidating/hard to get into due to the skill level involved. But your video cleared up a lot of stuff. It reminded of the times I made little booklets when I was younger, and just how freeing creating is. While I don't have anything specific in mind right now, I'm really excited by all the possibilities (plus it's been nice sewing together little booklets for me to use) Thanks for sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm!

There avatar the air binder, Pokémon, goth and horror and food and flowers. I plan on getting fall and halloween stickers too. I want take my new ohuhu sketchbook and markere have been becoming one of my new favorite tools. I want to stuff the pages with all the stickers and trace the outter part of the stickers with markere with colors in the sticker and using gel pens to outline and for adding details. I want it do it as like a personal project to start feeling like sketchbooks are more freeing than having it feel like a chore or a place where i can't mess up or just relax ans expirement with either. ❤❤

    I got a very strong urge to start making these,, was looking everywhere for these workshops and realizing a lot of them had shut down because of covid 😭😭😭 but now about two weeks later I'm filling up a small journal with into the spider-verse fanart sketches. I don't think I'm any kind of authoritty, I spent a lot of time alone these past years so I don't know what kind of wisdom i'd share, but I'm just so ecstatic that I even started, now I'm afraid I wouldn't want to give it away like I said I would, maybe I could find someone online to trade with once it's done😂 or I'll just keep it. It's weird letting myself enjoy something for once.

    Zines are basically like self published magazines containing anything you want! I think they lean more toward being an illustrated book based on your question, but they are not limited to illustrations. They can contain collages, writing, interactive elements like popups, etc. If you’d like to see examples check out my other video where I give a tour and show a wide variety of different zines :) kzread.info/dash/bejne/nmmEo9GGpbuYeJs.htmlsi=bv8o250WW_qfDbgZ
