physical zines bought at cons (2024): N/A
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.
