Zines panel!
I am running a panel on zines at this year's con.txt - 11:30 Saturday!
What I would like to do is have us actually assemble a souvenir mini-zine using pre-internet techniques as part of the panel.
To do this, I need content.
If any current or former con.txt attendee would like to donate a 100-word slash-related drabble (or 100-word meta short), any pairing, any fandom (or original slash), new or reprint, to go in the zine, that would make my day!
Leave them in comments here by July 20th or drop them at this username @ yahoo . com along with the name you'd like to be credited by.
I have no idea what the print run will be (it will be small), so I can't promise contributor copies, but we will try to have one for every panel attendee, a couple for the orphans' table, and one for the U of Iowa zine archive.
(Also, if you were around in the heyday of zines, and would like to contribute to the panel in other ways, that would be super-great - I know more about non-fandom zine culture than I do about fandom ones.)
(And if you have any zines you'd like to dispose of, I will be sending a couple boxes of mixed zines to U of Iowa after the con as a donation from con-txt; feel free to bring zines to the con to add to that pile.)
Feel free to link this around to other places where you know con-txt denizens or zine lovers dwell!
