The Flames of Disaster are closer than you may think.
I've never heard of the term zines, but I really like this concept. Awesome work on the cover by the way.

I remember trying to get a magazine started when I was around nine years old. I wanted it to be a weekly paper, and I wanted it to have stories, articles, pictures, the works. I got exhausted pretty quickly, tho, because no one else was interested and I tried to hand-write and hand-draw the whole thing on my own. It was still fun, at least when looking back at that time.

I guess that would be a zine that I was trying to make, right? I hope I'm understanding it correctly; the night is starting to get to my head.

Thank you! That sounds like an adorable zine of sorts to me. Do you remember anything about the stories, articles, and pictures you created?

I don't remember specific details, but I drew a lot of inspiration from magazines we were getting at the time. We'd get animal magazines like Ranger Rick, and I was really into biology back then, so I did articles talking about interesting animals. Stories would often be short little poems or three-paragraph adventures, none of which I fully remember. I know I got crazy with drawings, though; I'd draw huge stick figure battles in comic book format, where two armies would do battle until only one side was left. I really liked drawing floating islands, too, so I'd draw fantasy environments with floating islands in the sky.

I'd never really thought about it for a while, and this thread reminded me. I think I'd have much better luck nowadays than back then, probably because of age and technology making everything easier to print.
