What is a Zine?There are some variations of zines. In this context, it's a physical or digital self-printed book that is available for a limited amount of time. Most zines have a small window of when it will be available, you will not be able to get the zine after the window is closed.Although there are zines that are made, produced, and shipped by one person, the zines we track will be collaborative zine projects that feature a group of moderators and contributors of 10 or more people.Projects may also be referred to as: art books, anthologies. Groups within this community may also create, but are not limited to: cookbooks, calendars, planners, and tarot cards.

atozines FAQ

What types of zines do you share/archive?
+ Fandom & Original
+ Collaborative — featuring at least 10+ collaborators (or else we'd be archiving too many zines)
+ English — we're English speaking only so documenting zines in different languages is hard for us.
+ Cookbooks, card decks, calendar, and any like-minded projects are okay.
How are zines added to your resources?
By user submissions.
How can I be added to your resource?
The best way to be added to the calendar or archive is to use the submission form.
Something is incorrectly categorized
We apologize for this error, feel free to let us know. We are NOT knowledgable in all fandoms, so please feel free to let us know if there is a better way to categorize a project!
Will you RT my post?
atozines does not actively retweet posts due the amount of time needed to go through all our notifications.
Why do you only track/archive collaborative zines?
1. That would be a lot of zines to track.
2. The main purpose of this resource was to help people find projects to be apart of.
3. Collaborative and solo zines tend to operate differently so it's harder for us to track its status.
Why wasn't my event added to the calendar?
Check your internet or status of Airtable and try again. If the Airtable services are down, our forms will not work.
This zine has [content you're uncomfortable with]!
We recommend muting and/or blocking the account. atozines does not vet zines, there are simply too many fandoms and characters we are unfamiliar with.
BUT, if a project is not properly tagged or documented in a way that is deceiving (i.e. purposefully leaving out important information to be more marketable), please inform us so we can update the entry.

Can I share a zine if I'm not a moderator?
Yes! If you are a contributor or even just a fan, feel free to bring the zine to our attention.
Can I ask you a question?
Feel free, we'll try our best to answer any of your questions. Please note that our answers are not a reflection of the zine community and might not always be suitable to your unique situation.
Why didn't you answer our DM?
Due to all the changes to social media platforms, our DMs are not reliable.
Why are there so many guidelines/rules?
atozines tracks zines from multiple fandoms, these guidelines for recording information helps us organize zines so they are easier to find. We also want to be more friendly for the zine babies and creating a consistent system helps.
How do we know if you muted our account?
We mute accounts that are bang/exchange/weeks/month accounts OR are not English. These zines are then added to the proper list.
If the account is on the list and decides to make a zine or an english zine, they can DM us to be added to another list and unmuted.

Calendar FAQ

How is the calendar updated?
Through user submissions. If you need to update a deadline due to an extension, we recommend re-submitting to the form.
There's an error with our zine's event
No worries! You can reach out to us though Discord and we can update it, or you can resubmit your event. A moderator occasionally checks the resource and will delete the older entry.
Can I get my event added?
You can add your event to the calendar using the form. We recommend submitting events so that there is less error.
I'm confused at how to fill the form out
No worries, just try your best, a moderator goes through all submissions to adhere to the consistency and ensure that there aren't multiple listings for the same event. Try checking out the calendar to see how other events are listed!
In general:
+ Please spell out fandom names for consistency so that the calendar is easy to navigate ie: Boku No Hero
+ Please note if a zine is NSFW between the fandom name & the zine name/theme ie: Boku No Hero: NSFW: KRBK Summer Heat zine
+ If the zine IS NOT specific to one fandom, please list it as ie: Crossover
+ If a free release zine does NOT have a deadline, use the release date as the deadline date.
Can I submit my zine to the calendar even though it is not collaborative?
atozines does NOT track personal/individual projects so we will not add non-collaborative zines to any of our resources. But as long as it is a zine—a physical or digital 6-or more page document—, feel free to use our calendar to advertise your project!


Tracker & Archive FAQ

How is the tracker updated?
The tracker is currently no being updated.
How is the Archive updated?
Users can submit their concluded (completed or canceled) projects through our form. Please note that the calendar and archive have DIFFERENT forms.


Advertising with atozines

I have a question about using atozines to promote on other platforms!
Feel free to DM us on Discord or Instagram. You do NOT need to use a zine account to message us, a moderator can DM us on behalf of the project.
How do I submit images and captions for promo?
You can send the information to us through our Discord server or Instagram DM.
Why didn't you accept our Instagram collaborator invitation?
We are very intentional with our feed and the graphics we share. Please check out our IG Promo guidelines. Unlike Twitter, images mean a lot more than the text area, so we like to make sure the graphics have all the necessary information.
