Description:

Don't worry, you don't need to actually cast a spell over your zine (although you can if you like!). The theme is folk & fairy tales, so you need to find a way to make that your subject. Some ideas:

  • Illustrate an existing fairy tale
  • Write your own fairy tale/s
  • Write revised versions of existing fairy tales (eg get inside one of the characters heads & tell the story from their perspective)
  • Review existing adaptations of fairy tales
  • Talk about how a particular fairy tale has affected you, or your responses to a collection of stories
  • Make up profiles for your favourite characters
  • Imagine what would happen if you could climb into an existing story

The above are all just suggestions – your zine can include any, all or none of these, so long as it fits within the fairy tale theme!

Please use a minimum of 3 full sheets of A4 (/letter-size) paper, but you can present in whatever format you like. The easiest is just to fold your pages in half for a 12 page half-size zine, or fold in half again for a 24 page quarter-size zine.

3 partners = 3 zines (1 to each partner)

This is a group swap for members of Zines, Mail Art & other cool stuff. I've checked people's ratings as they've joined the group, but I will check through again before partners are assigned, to do my best to avoid disappointment in this swap. Please only sign up if you have both the time & inclination to complete the swap!
