any zines that i have picked up for the distro will no longer be reviewed. if i wrote the review prior that's fine but i feel it might be a conflict of interests to write a review after the fact. for synopsis of zines at the distro check it out. i obviously enjoyed it if i spend time getting it out to people ;)

i have become a member of the bibliotheque review board!
visit http://www.lunar-circuitry.net/bibliotheque/
that means that some of the zines reviewed here may also appear in two other publications, which is great for getting the word to more people. so far you can find child that mind, girl swirl, and geek the girl/color of my eyes heading to the site.

things are also in the works with sew true distro and the review board, plus i'm currently working on a book and just finished XD for poopsheet online. i still get the occational altar magazine review and the east village inky just appeared in the latest issue of eye candy. someday (hopefully sooner than later) neil will kick his butt into gear and get a new independent word review out. even still, these reviews are getting out there and i'm excited about it.

leave comments if you liked the zine or not (and why), if you thought the review needed a few more things go on and name them, and feel free to leave your own full review.

there was a big mix up with my seattle postal carrier (details on my livehournal post - scootymcbottom) and i've had problems receiving the review items along with all my other mail. i'm sorry if this means you need to resend something to me, but things should be worked out now. i had nothing to do with it so all i can say is let's try it again. thank you all!

Topic: update
i'm moving back to wisconsin in a few days so i wrote two extra moving reviews to fill the void. i'll still be reading/writing reviews on the road, but until i get settled it might slow the review posts down a little.
also, everything is everywhere right now so i'm reviewing what i can find and i'm sorry if i have to skip over some items for now. they will be reviewed though!
