Zine Review: G-String Tremolo

G-String Tremolo

Review: Another one where I can’t remember where I got it… Maybe where I got it shouldn’t be part of the review.

Anyway, I have to love (at least a little bit) any zine with bold lines and clear typing. I’m a fan of the handwritten zine, too, but typing makes it easy to read. With this little gem, there is the handmade element, too, so the zine soul still exists.

This zine is chapter one of Adrien’s story. For a first chapter, it’s pretty interesting. The editor in me is rearing her head, but that’s only because the writing reads very ‘young’. Now that fits the voice of the character, but it also makes me wonder if the creator is a young writer as well… I’m curious to see if I come across the rest of the chapters floating around.

This zine is a great example of author and contact details being clear and easy to find. You might think that things aren’t hard to find in a single-fold zine, but there are always exceptions… Anyway, two thumbs up for making it easy to check your other stuff out.

Zine Review: Dude

Dude

Title: Dude
Author: ok d’pluma (?)
Type: Single sheet mini-zine
Author Site(s): ?

Review: It’s been so long since I have sorted through my collection that I can’t remember where I got this little zine…

I was amused by ‘Dude’, given my addiction to saying it – a lot – when I was a teenager. The quick commentary on the word as well as illustrations made for a fun little read.

But, this is a pretty good example of why you should have clear handwriting. I think the author’s name is “ok d’pluma”, but I am really not sure. If anyone wants to enlighten me, comment and I’ll fix things up.

Reviews Coming Soon!

I want to get this place kicking again, and the best way I can do that is by doing some zine reviews. If you would like me to review your zine (unlikely, as I am just starting out, but you never know), leave a comment on this post.

I Want to Be a Distro When I Grow Up

This may be strange coming from someone who has posted less than ten times in the past year, but it’s true. I want to run a distro someday.

There’s way too much on my plate right now to do so – even from my home. But once the big items on my to-do list are taken care of, who knows? I have been visiting the online spaces of distros… or, at least, what used to be distros. Many of them have shut down or halted business indefinitely.

I’d love to set up a distro. Someday…

Happy New Year!

As you no doubt noticed, things got a little slack here in the last half of last year. That’s because I took up being a full time student and got lost in the mix there.

But now I am back in action, and I will be posting more here again. Get ready for more stuff from yours truly.

And if you are a zine creator, don’t be shy about contacting me! I love to help promote fellow zinesters.

Still Alive!

Sea Green Zines is still alive! Just a little slothful.

I am very happy to announce that Dear Anonymous 2 is complete! Now only copies need to be made and sewn.

So if you have letters for the next zine, send them in! Email here.
