Description:

For this swap, make 2 different mini-zines for two partners.

The theme? Teach me something! For example:

  • a craft technique
  • how to communicate better with others
  • how to make a great care package
  • the history of jazz music
  • 6 great books to read before you die
  • A recipe/recipes
  • How not to go bonkers while studying at college/uni
  • A medical condition you want your partner to understand more about

Pick some topics you're passionate about and want to share. This is senders choice, but if you don't want to recieve certain themes and it is very important - share in the comments or let your partner know immediately as the swap begins (i.e. no religion, nothing food-based, nothing triggering)

Zines can look however you wish - mostly text, lots of art, multi-media with embellishments or sleek and printed out.

You should send each partner either 2 minizines. If you would prefer to make them each 1 full-size zine (instead of 2 mini-zines), that also fufils swap requirements; but anyone who recieves 2 mini zines should rate 5, as that is the main idea of the swap. (I just want to leave full-size as an option in case making mini cramps your style ^_^)

Swap rules: I will consider any swappers above 4.00, but will check profiles before assigning partners and ban anyone who looks flakey. Flakey: lots of drama, recent 1s and 3s, overdue swaps, not logged in for ages etc. I will angel if there are problems.

Two mini zines each to two partners = 4 mini-zines in total. Or, if you choose to make full-size zines, then 2 full size zines in total, one to each.

One week to sign up + two weeks to create and post = 3 weeks in total, if you choose to start work in advance. Please communicate with your partner if you are going to be late, and be kind if your partner is having difficulties.
