(pic shows 'The True Story of the Three Little Pigs' as told to Jon Scieszka - a picture book rather than a zine, but close enough to the spirit of the swap!)

Swap description: An Enchanted Zine
Don't worry, you don't need to actually cast a spell over your zine (although you can if you like!). The theme is folk & fairy tales, so you need to find a way to make that your subject. Some ideas:

  • Illustrate an existing fairy tale
  • Write your own fairy tale/s
  • Write revised versions of existing fairy tales (eg get inside one of the characters heads & tell the story from their perspective)
  • Review existing adaptations of fairy tales
  • Talk about how a particular fairy tale has affected you, or your responses to a collection of stories
  • Make up profiles for your favourite characters
  • Imagine what would happen if you could climb into an existing story

The above are all just suggestions – your zine can include any, all or none of these, so long as it fits within the fairy tale theme!

Please use a minimum of 3 full double-sided sheets of A4 (/letter-size) paper, but you can present in whatever format you like. The easiest is just to fold your pages in half for a 12 page half-size zine, or fold in half again for a 24 page quarter-size zine.

Swap requirements

  • 3 partners = 3 enchanted zines sent & 3 enchanted zines received.
  • Zines must be at minimum 24 quarter-size/A6 pages or equivalent.
  • Zines must be by you - this is not a stash swap!
  • If you took part in the first round of this swap, please write a new zine - I can't guarantee you won't get the same partners as last time!

The obvious bit
You already had to have a rating of 4.9+ with no recent no-sends, 1s or 3s to join this group anyway, so the same stands for this swap. But I will still double-check before assigning partners, so if you have what you feel is an unfair comment or rating, just PM me & we can try to work it out. :-)
