Introduction to Fanzines & Blogging
This was where we were introduces to fanzines and bloging. A fanzine is basically a blog but materialistic rather than on the Internet. It can be about absolutely anything! Usually the author or author's do not charge others for their zines unless it is to cover the production cos & in some cases postage. Zines are also left in libraries for distribution (free). This self published publication has been used by great writers as a stepping stone to help get them where they are now, using zines to practice and develop their writing skills. Fanzines faded away in the 1990s, this is because of the sudden growth of the Internet which allows you to put so much more than just a one zine and you can update continuously. We are creating a zine following our progress at the former shop called Legends closed down due to the current economic crisis. How ever im not quite a fan of blogging so im no sure how this will go! Wish me luck!
