My goodness! I’m so sorry for cutting it so close to the line, dear friends. It has been a heck of a month, that’s for sure. But it is here now, and we can get prepared for ZineWriMo 2025!
What’s ZineWriMo then?
If you’re not familiar, ZineWriMo is the zine alternative to (defunct but now reviving?) NaNoWriMo created by Jasper @unclejasperilla. I am another happy participant who decided to dive right in and create a prompts list for the occasion. I try to focus on a list that gives a bit of challenge but isn’t too stressful.
In Jasper’s words:
“ZineWriMo is a new idea that came to me in wanting to combine the original NaNoWriMo and zines!
ZineWriMo is November! We focus on making one, or many, zines in November! Our only goal is to create zines, no word count requirement!“
Dive in, join up, and let’s get ready to zine!
Feel free to email me at seagreenzines@gmail.com if you’d like me to send you the list in PDF or larger .JPG form.
Hello zine friends! My goodness do we have some gorgeous stickers today along with some beautiful, colourful zines to check out.
As always, thank you for watching.

Urban Legends is a quarter-sized black and white zine collection of art and writing about legends, myths, and folklore.
Tis the season for some strange, some spooky, and some otherworldly goodness. Plus in zine form? Yes please.
Urban Legends opens with an easy-to-read (ever more important as I get older and my eyes get worse) table of contents complete with links for most of the contributors for this issue. From there we launch into things with a creepy, sing-song sort of piece with ‘Strange Little May’.
The zine is filled with short pieces and art. I like how some of the pieces are short introductions that double as invitations to look deeper into the subject should the reader want to do so. (I may have done some nosing around about what a homunculus is.) I especially enjoyed Kali’s piece on The Fulton Theatre, as I’m always interested in a potentially haunted location.
I also love how some of the pieces come not only with who they are by but also with a location as well. I’m always fascinated by the different myths and legends from around the world, so it’s a fun detail to have that added in when possible. (Also, I found it curious that the UK has a superstition about magpies – “Mr. Magpie” by Kaci O’Meara – but Australians don’t seem to!)
The zine wraps up with an editor’s note that includes some facts about how the zine was made. Little touches like these are always fun to me. I’m always curious about how people create these zines.
Urban Legends is an interesting zine that gives a lot of tasters that make me want to take a lot of deeper dives into things. As far as I know, there isn’t a second Urban Legends, but I hope there is in the future. I need more zines like this!
Hello zine friends! I am happily back after an unintended break and have so many wonderful zines to share with you. Including a package that has made my completionist heart so happy!
As always, thank you for watching.
