A thousand thank you’s to everyone who contributed to the making of the zine: our writers and artists, guests and mods—you all did an excellent work—and of course, to you, the readers. 💖 The zine would be nothing without the support from all of you!

Dell is particulary busy around summer time.

It is at times like these when he regrets that the only thing his many PhD’s have only landed him at the family’s mechanic business. He’d love filling these cars with modifications--improvements, that’s for sure--but not only does that not pay the bills, it’d land him in prison, most probably. So, he keeps fixing cars--and he’s darn good at it, if the clientele amount has anything to say.

And the beginning of summer’s always been a busy season, as most people wants to do their holiday trips, or get their car fixed for their yearly vehicle inspection. So, the cars keep coming and going at an almost unmanageable pace. Well, almost. Thank God he’s a practical man and has an efficient schedule--and insomnia, but he’s not sure he’d count that as a blessing.

As it is, he’s now working on an issue that’s pretty easy to solve. This car’s alternator is broken and needs to be replaced, and the old lady who owns it can’t do it herself. He’ll give her a discount because heck, Mrs. Patterson always brings him the best apple pie in town--probably in the whole country. He works with the promise of one of them in mind, whistling a merry tune.

“Engie!”

Dell almost hits his head with the hood of the car. “Darn, boy, can’t you announce yourself or something?”

“I did,” says Jeremy, the shop assistant he recently hired to manage the huge income of clients. “But you were lost in there. I had to yell my lungs out!”

“I was busy,” Dell says under his breath in annoyance. “Alright, son. Why did ya call me?”

“Someone’s come to see ya!” Jeremy’s teasing grin tells him that it definitely wasn’t Mrs. Patterson.

Oh. Oh!

He slams the hood of the car closed. “Let him in, would ya? Wait!” Jeremy stops on his tracks and looks at him. “Am I too much of a mess?”

“The usual, pally,” Jeremy says with a wink, and disappears through the door. Heck, the usual isn’t good but it’ll have to do--hell if he’s going to get caught looking at himself in a mirror in front of--

“Dell!” Jane yelled happily.

Dell almost jumps again, but he collects himself in time. “Jane!” he smiles, arms wide open. He’s always glad that the PE teacher has time to stop at his workshop. His breath almost leaves him as he’s hugged enthusiastically by Jane. “Whoa!” he says, patting Jane’s back. “Not that I ain’t glad to see ya too, pardner, but what’s the occasion?”

“The team classified!” Jane says, backing away a bit but still holding Dell at arm’s length.

Dell’s eyes go wide. His smile turns into a whole grin. “That’s amazing, Jane! Congrats!”

“Thank you, private!” Some people say Jane didn’t come back wholly from the war. They call him Soldier behind his back--and in front of him, to be honest, as he often takes it as a compliment. Dell’s gotten used to his brand of speaking since ages ago. “I am very proud of them! They crushed the other team! They will get any sponsorship they want! And they deserve it!”

“And it’s all thanks to you, pardner,” Dell says with a warm smile. Jane looks at him under his ever-present cap, caught off-guard. He suddenly backs away, to Dell’s dismay. “I, uh, I came to deliver the good news! And to make good of my promise!”

Dell is confused now. “Wait, what promise?”

Jane is getting progressively redder by the minute. “I... I... IpromisedTavishI’dtakeyouunadateifwe--”

“Wait a minute, Jane! Slower! Deep breaths, and try again.”

“I. Promised Tavish that. If we won the tournament I... I’d take you on a--” He murmurs: ”A date.”

“A what?” asks Dell, not daring to hope.

“A date!” Jane yells. “Quality time! A picnic or a candlelit dinner and possible smooching ahead! Only if you want to!”

“Gosh, finally!” Jeremy’s voice could be heard from the front counter. They both go beet red.

Recovered use of my tablet and first thing I did to warm up was relining this on "blue pen"

Practicing hair was fun!

-----

“You chose death over–”

"I chose you."

The silence becomes almost asphyxiating–or is that the giant gap in his lungs? Misha’s contract, finally, has been fulfilled, his enemy lying on the brink of death in his arms. He can now secure his mother, find his sisters, take revenge on the rest of his employers, destroy them all. Do whatever he wants. And Misha should be feeling like a weight has been lifted off his shoulders, but instead, it seems Medic has put new chains on the heart of the man he least wanted to hurt.

Breaking down the Gorl Scout Zine budget, and giving my thoughts and opinions on zine finances!

I've been DIY-ing zines for like 10 years now so. Grandpa is senile and rambling today. I am by no means the final word or expert on anything. This is all just stuff I think personally, for myself, in regards to my own methods of zine-making. If you disagree with me on anything, feel free to tell anyone other than me!

Transcription:

I firmly believe all group zines NEED to have their budget available for their contributors to view. We need more transparency and accountability in the fanzine scene.

I also choose to make my zine budgets publicly available to EVERYONE, so people can see how much it costs to make a zine. Especially if it can convince others to DIY their art projects, because it can be cheaper, look better, and have more control than outsourcing!

PHYSICAL ZINE COSTS:

2x printer ink sets: $56

50x cover paper: $13

1500x interior paper: $36

50x zines = $105, or $2.10 each

You have a stapler somewhere, right?

NOTES: I own a Canon printer which I also use for stickers and prints on my regular shop. Others may wish to use a copy shop for $1 color cover prints and .10 cent interiors.

EXTRAS COSTS:

110x vinyl sticker paper: $42

120x photo paper (4x6): $13

50x photo paper (8x10): $24

Stickers, bookmarks, prints for up to 50 zine packages = $79

You have scissors, right? These extras go in big bundles and have a higher profit margin than the zine itself, helping to offset costs.

NOTES: these are also printed on that ol' workhorse Canon printer. I handcut the stickers for the Gore Zine, but now we have a Portrait machine to cut these with.

SHIPPING COSTS:

100x glassine bags: $11

100x shipping labels (4x6): $19

13x USPS first class: 135

Shipping free zines to 13 contributors = $165!

Two of the 15 contributors are me and shane and we don't need shipping lolz.

First Class shipping prices for less than 10 ounces:

From USA to USA = $5

From USA to everywhere else = $10-$15

NOTES: I pack and ship stuff on the reg with PirateShip to handle addresses + labels, and my $50 laser printer. You MUST compensate your contributors with a free copy of the zine at the very least. If you make them pay for the zine you SUCK NUTZ.

---

Zines $105 + extras $79 + shipping $165 equals...

$349 budget!

Every dollar over $349 will be shared evenly amongst the 15 contributors. I'm aiming for $20 to each artist. $20 x 15 contributors = $300 + $349 budget = $649 goal!

I priced my limited bundles to hit the $300 goal when they all sell. And if we sell 10 of the $35 zine bundles, that'll cover the rest of it! I also have personal money saved to pay for all this as a backup because it's MY passion project! I'm 100% going to make sure it's a reality!

In cumclusion...

Zines, fanzines, and anthologies are NOT the best way to make money with (mass) printed art.

(That would be with illustration prints, which you can print for $1 and sell for $30. As opposed to 40 pages in a zine for $10.)

Zines ARE very fun to make because reading is FUNdamental! Make zines cuz it’s fun! Make weird zines! Don’t make zines just “for profit” cuz you hella stupid if you tryna make money this way.
