Me-Zines

I’m thinking of printing up Not Homophobic and Like Sailing and Home Runs as little booklets (think of them as mini-zines for me). I was going to put them into one booklet, but then that booklet would be about 140 pages long (60 for LSHR and 80 for NH), which might be a bit long for a basic A4-bound document.

I was going to do it for me as a bit of a pride thing, as a physical example of what I can accomplish, but it occurred to me that if I’m going to the hassle of printing out pages and binding and photocopying, I might as well check if anyone else wants a copy.

It feels really, *really* self-promoting to be asking, but does anyone else want a copy? I would expect repayment of costs (no, I currently have no idea how much photocopying/binding will cost, but even if I can cover that, I certainly can’t afford to pay for international postage) but I wouldn’t be making a profit.

Basically, this is a post to see if anyone else would be interested. (If not, I’ll just go ahead and make mine.) Leave me a comment saying which story you’d want and the region I’d have to post it to. Then I can figure out costs, let you know, and you can decide if you definitely want it and the best way to repay me.

ETA: And in case you are curious, I'm planning on the most-basic-of-the-basic production values: Times New Roman, black and white, no images.

Oh, that's a really generous offer! In that case I might have my friend who's interning this summer in Chicago get it, and then give it to me next school year; it depends on the cost, though. I need to weigh the cost of shipping v. the cost of a friend reading my slash.

Of course, she likes herself some Sports Night...maybe she wouldn't be completely disturbed...

And if it makes you feel any better, between the two of them, they're 140,000 words long and I'd be amazed if even 10,000 words of that was explicit. She'd have to be really curious or really bored to read through them.
