Interesting and fun. Probably one of the best ways to get people to know about your zine is to advertise in the other related zines. There are a bunch of zine-sters here on TC or within a degree of separation of this crowd (Tiki News, Continental, Point Break, Murder Can Be Fun, Cheeseball, etc.), some more active than others. Cool And Strange Music magazine http://www.coolandstrange.com/ is a great model for a zine that's gotten consistently increasing readership, stocked in Tower stores now. -Randy (who spent a summer working at the NY publisher of GAMES, Creative Ideas For Living, and Needlecraft For Today magazines)
