Really depends on how quickly everything comes together in the end. Still trying to decide how many to print. Don't want to do too many and just have a stack of them...ALTHOUGH I don't want to not print enough

Ian (terrorizer) and me used to do a zine in the 90s called death to dead things and we sold it at gigs / by post etc, realistically, only do a couple of hundred at at the most. Ours was a cheap zine, but high quality, and even then it isnt the easiest thing to sell, as people think nothing of spending £3 on a drink, but ask em for a quid for a 50 page zine with 700 reviews and loads of interviews / features etc, they are too fucking tight!!! Seriously, get like 150 / 200 done and if it sells, run another batch off.

Yeah!! you can always reprint a bunch if you sell out, otherwise you end up with half a bedroom full of unsaleable crap... not bangers and thrash... but ....

Jamie, get B&T on the Store! Might help shift a few...

Speaking of which, has anyone had any punters through the store yet?

i did send a PM bout the store a while back, but got no reply!!!

I was thinking of printing 200/250 as that will probs work out most cost effective way i think.

Will do next thing onnn - thurs or friday I think, depends how engrossing Final Fantasy 13 is!

GO ON THEN!!! lol

Yeah I'd definately be happy to try and sell some at gigs though, although knowing my track record I might just lose them, so maybe I'm not the best candidate!

hmm you might loose them....

Well if you fancy doing some writing then unless u lose the ability to use your hands we should be fine

I keep getting delayed confirming everything, sorry people! It is all coming together, just trying to work out how much space everything might take up lol

I'll sell some for thi if tha wants?

Fuckin sweet can't wait to read one, toilet material's getting low

How does everyone prefer interviews.

Would you rather read them as a feature type thing - linking all the best stuff/quotes into a story type thing.

OR

Do you prefer the Q&A type style?

Any feedback would be really helpful!

I prefer Q&A when it comes to zines.

Any particular reason? I noticed this a lot, just trying to get an idea of why
