zinefests are like being dunked in creativity juice. i feel so inspired and amped to make something cool

Good article. At this point I am sadly priced out of just about everything but very small local shows like zinefests and tiny art markets/events. (PPZF is coming up in October!)
I miss it. I loved doing FlameCon especially, but I think that's beyond my reach (can't get in, can't sell enough), now.

I’ve seen this at zinefests lately. There’s always that one table like this any the only zine for sell if something they farted out an hour before getting there
So... can we talk about this
September 13, 2026 at 3:08 PM
since I am more illustration based than comics I always try to do like a half/quarter of my usual setup when I'm at more comic centric events/zinefests . And making my table at least 50% of is zines/comics.
So... can we talk about this

A few zinefests I've applied to have a "your booth must be 80% (ish) zines" rule, and I think that's an elegant solution that more comic shows should implement.

Made an update blog post about Quod Ames on both itchio and my own site. I also updated my website so that my Quod Ames homepage is more organized/has relevant information #comics

Updates, Zinefests, and some Bonus Comics!
For Starters: thanks a lot to everyone who was able to buy my doujin at Manga Ichiba and the SF Zinefest, as well as all of you who downloaded the PDF version of the comic! I’m really happy for ever.....

You should! There's regular zinefests here, Wellington and Auckland. Auckland had theirs last month but they host events and post about them on soc med 💜

💀 yes this is my problem with some zinefests, this model does not make it accessible to new people with limited time who want to make something. if you dont even know whether or not you're going to get into a fair you're probably not gonna draw a whole comic beforehand

Shelving it altogether, or starting from scratch with just the base concrpt.

Add to that I haven't brought myself to zine much. Turns out I might not manage to get out to zinefests much at all with hubs working most weekends and kofi sales haven't kept me in supplies for printable.
August 2, 2026 at 11:02 AM
I need more local zinefests and cons right now. Or a drivers license so I can schlep outta state for em
July 29, 2026 at 2:59 PM
I keep going to zinefests with a tiny little zine crushing bag, wtf is wrong w me
September 14, 2025 at 8:29 PM
I live in an area where zinefests happen pretty regularly but I’m always like noooo I can’t miss oneeee I need tiny little booklets
October 22, 2023 at 8:22 PM
I'm probably not doing any more zinefests until summer which means I have lots of time to work on new zines. "Clothes shopping/fabric selection guide geared toward neurodivergents", "how to jailbreak your kindle", and another 4-pack of Littlest Red Books will be priorities I think

People are so taken with #1 Combat Liberalism that during zinefests I have to remind them they purchased a set of all 4 before they dash away in their excitement

My 2025 wins
- made real money from my writing for the first time!
- launched 1000 Lotuses, my webnovel about ancient Chinese lesbians!
- tabled at my first two zinefests!
- learning how to be proud of more than two different things at a time without screaming crying throwing up at my own audacity!

I went to a small zinefest in my town!! It was so delightful… found a bunch of new artists to follow and now I miss doing tiny zinefests 😭

Been hoping to see how the Manga Ichiba event in May turns out re: doujin turnout. I'm excited for it, but it being a part of a larger established con (and thus pay walled) means less people coming casually to check work out (which I'm more used to for indie/zinefests)

I agree that Mixam has taken the wind out of the sails of the DIY RPG zine. Even as someone who loves beautiful design work & talks about it at length, Ill never stop having a soft spot for xeroxed/looseleaf RPG notes.

It's why Ive gone to so many zinefests lately & bought so much lo-fi stuff.

Wenn Ihr heute zwischendurch noch ne halbe Stunde Zeit findet - direkt an der U-Bahn Burgstraße ist ein liebevoll gestaltetes und sehr facettenreiches Zinefest, das sich über drei Räume erstreckt!
May 11, 2024 at 9:48 AM
kuplii was so great, zinefests are the best for the connections you can get with another human thru sharing yr work with someone face to face, you cant beat this feeling, ever... im gonna be offering my zines online too, hopefully next month! my mastectomy funds saving process feels hopeful
March 31, 2025 at 9:47 AM
I’m just starting to make zines, and this is so inspiring! Where do you find out more about the zinefests? Is there a community?
December 20, 2025 at 5:49 PM
Kind of weird to me when people act like indie zinefests and doujinshi stuff are either EXACTLY THE SAME or COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SPECIES there is significant overlap in function and principles, and also the expectations/etc is different lol
