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 need to talk to the post office. If i have to send them as a parcel, economy air is $14 and normal air mail is $16.50. if I can send them as a letter (it'll depend on their weight and if I tie them, them may just be under the 2cm thickness limit), it'll be $11 by air mail and get to you within two weeks. I'm assuming that it's under 500g, but that's another thing I should ask about and check.

but if the weight turns out okay, you're looking at about 6 pounds, plus photocopying/binding costs. (I'm working on those right now.)
