On zine costs.

[sarren]

kirkspock_recs sometimes has recs for stories only available in zines.

I have a lot of zines, from those dark days before the internet. I try not to think about that time too closely. *covers eyes*

I got thinking about my favourite Kirk/Spock zine - Broken Images. I'd quite like to rec that, so I googled it and found this! http://www.agentwithstyle.com/startrek.htm

And there was a function to search for other stories by the same author. I found two! in a zine called Nome 8! Yay! Except the zine costs $69 AUD!!!!

Who pays this, seriously? Can it really cost that much money to produce each zine? Or is it a business now?

Your descripton made me LAUGH.

I don't understand how telling the truth is 'mean'. Does she have lots of 'mates' who beat up on people or what?

I don't understand how telling the truth is 'mean'.

But it's saying bad things about someone; you don't speak ill of people in fandom, that's mean. Never mind that it's the truth. *sigh*

And her friends don't beat up on people, but they do defend her and tell you that you don't know the whole situation and blah blah blah blah.
