Transparency and Accountability in the Zine Community

Following some recent concerns that have been brought to my attention regarding how some zines are run in this fandom I’ve decided to go through my zine list and check them for transparency and accountability. To do this I ask 2 questions: 1. Do the zines have at least some kind of info on who is running them; 2. Do the zines clearly lay out what happens to the money they collect (does it go to creators or charity? and if charity which one?)

Fandom zines are very unique projects in that they’re based largely on trust. It’s not like buying a product from a store or a corporation where if something goes wrong there’s a complaints or customer service desk to turn to. With zines, if something happens and the people behind the project are completely anonymous, buyers and participants are left totally high and dry. Of course, organizers are free to set up their zines in whatever way they wish, and if they choose to be anonymous that’s their decision and some people will be cool with that. But many people may also decide not to support a project if they can’t tell who’s behind it. As Mr. Weasley so eloquently put it: “Never trust anything that can think for itself if you can’t see where it keeps its brain“

The info here is meant as a tool for potential participants and buyers to help them determine which projects they’re comfortable supporting, and I’ll update the list periodically as info changes.

alright I’m not done with this fic yet, but I am super excited about it. This is my preview for the @indigo-zine:

The first thing he registers when he regains consciousness is pain. Excruciating, unbearable pain. When he finally rallies and forces his eyes open, he can see why. Surrounding him is shattered glass, pieces of metal, torn electrical wires. The clear signs of a crash.
Heat flares to the side, and he looks over, spying the growing flame. Time to move then. He pushes himself up, realizing almost too late that he’s short an arm, cut off just below his shoulder. He stumbles almost as soon as he gets his feet beneath himself, tilting forward.
A shard of metal sticks out of his stomach, smacking against the edge of the pod he’s stuck in. For a moment he closes his eyes, forcing down the nausea. Until finally, when he hears the crackling from behind him, he forces himself to move.
He barely makes it away before the flame hits the electronics and a small explosion ends the pod’s short life. Breathing heavily, he leans down against the ground, holding himself up with his one good arm and his knees.
What does he know?
1.       This isn’t the worst mess he’s been in, but it’s damn near close.
2.       He was in that pod against his will, somehow.
3.       He once had two arms, but he hasn’t for a while. Or at least, not his natural one.
4.       And his name is…is…
He’ll remember his name in time.

Guess who it is ;)
