Description:

Off the bat, this is a zine swap. Any style, any size, any shape, mini, maxi, wonky, flippy, digital, baked in a cake and photographed, whatever. zine how you zine.

First timers, old timers, everyone is welcome.

You will have 3 partners, and you need to send photocopies/printoffs of your zine (no master copies)

You need to follow your assigned theme.

phew, that's the easy part.

Now, to find out what the THEME of your zine will be, I need everyone to do the following:

Comment below with a list of 3 words.
The FIRST word is to be a Proper Noun.
The SECOND word is to be an adjective
The THIRD word is to be any old Noun.

Note: it is ok if one of your words is technically two words if it clarifies what your word is referring to, i.e. "The Titanic" or "George Washington"

For example, @swapperjoe may comment with:
Trump,
Smelly,
Horses.

After partners are assigned check who your partners are. Find the FIRST swap partner you have (listed on top) and take their FIRST word from their list. Find your SECOND partner and take the SECOND word from their list. And finally take the THIRD word from your THIRD partner's list.

So you will have some combo of words like: Charlie Brown, Purple, Cigarette.

Interpret your words however you need to to make your title/theme. You can use punctuation, apostrophes and even add or rearrange words. (you have to use all 3 words though)
Using our example words, any of the following would be great: Charlie Brown's Purple Cigarette, Charlie Brown and the Purple Cigarette, The Purple Cigarette Charlie Brown Found, etc.

Make your zine be sure to put your title on it! also include your username and the month/year your zine was made.

Send it off

Everyone should get a different set of words to work with. We do need at least 4 people total to join the swap for this to work. If we don't get enough participants I will try to host this as a public swap instead.
Feel free to chatter in the comments as long as you post your list separate to any chattering. I will "clean up" the comment section when I assign partners if it gets out of control.
