where to find zines? browse the bird app or tumblr for your favourite artists and fandoms, follow pages that promote fanzines, join a discord server where they share all kinds of stuff (small, personal zines to collaborative zines). it's how i found most of the digital zines featured here.
why collect zines? it started as a way for me to support artists but also because i'm bad at retaining items that i cannot flip through, so it gradually became a hobby of sorts. a very expensive hobby. it's also least likely to be sold out at cons because of how higher priced it is compared to other merch. update: attended my first 'real' doujin market and it's a totally different scene. is it because of cheaper printing costs? anyways i was spoilt for choice with limited money so i had to pick the ones i really want. one thing's for sure: you still can't escape genshin impact.
