Me-Zines

[out_there]

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.

I am tempted, yet it would mean explaining my mail to my parents. *sigh*

If it's the mail thing, I could make you up one and give it to you the next time I see you (since you're a melbourne-gal and all).

Or, um, if that was a polite way of saying "not interested" or "my parents would snoop through my room, so no way in hell" just ignore that suggestion.

or have two sent to meeeee. i think my parents are too scared to ask about my mail anymore. heh. uh, hi!

*laughs* I'll take that as a sign that you definitely want a copy of each?

[shehasathree]

:D yes please.

Cool. That brings it up to ten copies that I need to make. (1 for me, 9 for everyone else.

Okay, the official poll is up on my LJ.

Just making sure you know: the order poll (http://out-there.livejournal.com/817866.html) is up. I'm going to use that to figure out how many copies I need, so if you definitely want one, it's a simple case of clicking a few radio boxes.

what if i want more than one?

(i'm thinking of getting extra as presents. still umming and ahhhing over how many exactly though.)

*complicates*

Actually, hmmm. That poll only allows you to select one copy. I guess... hmmm. Fill out the poll for the one copy, and mention in your comment (because you'll have to comment with an email address for me to arrange payment) that you want to order extra copies. I can email you after Friday the 19th to get the definite number.

(Also, phew. I was a little worried that my costing estimations wouldn't work due to low numbers -- ie I assumed over 7 copies, so I based the photocopying rate on that -- but now it will.)
