ZINE REVIVAL CAMPAIGN (ZRC)

Yes, there is so much apathy surrounding it these days. No one seems to read it anymore. And that's because it's crap. But why should it be? Why can't those old schoolers who are still lurking about here and in other places e-mail in again, try and make the place what it once was? Has it died because a new wave of newbies came in, or because people just gave up and moaned about it instead?
Amy, aka TheUnitedTruth, voiced the same opinions in the shoutbox today. To be honest she's the inspiration for this post.

I call on you all to join together and let's at least try to revive it to it's former glory! It didn't die, we did, I think. Where's the Zine spirit nowadays? Can you remember asking people if they read page 142? That spirit could live again. Unite and send in e-mails again, let's at least try to revive it.

Those who are simply going to call this a waste of time can f*ck off. It's at least going to be fun. It's at best going to create a new era of 'good old Zine days' to look back on.

Get the campaign started and start e-mailing. We can do it!

i changed email address and wlw wouldn't accept emails from my new one under my name, but i'll try for you

so many new zine threads with so many new acronyms to learn

like Broccolli the evil one?

hehehe!

what situation?

the one i'm in?

Strange- I changed my e-mail address and he still printed my letters, though obviously I wasn't as established

i think if i did start writing in again i feel it would be time for another new name, as then if it all ballses up i can ruun away and hide.

Noooo use the Misunderstood Flapdoodle one, its a classic. I remember that from a few years ago. And it would serve the purpose of this thread well too.

I've tried to write in regularly to Zine, but due to high laziness factor, can barely be bothered some days.

Many of the new Ziners (Hey, my first one was over a year ago, I'm not new any more) just irritate the hell out of me. Especially Spikey Stuy. I may have to destroy him on the battlefields of Zine.

I've got a good reason for disliking new WLW anyway, apart from the obvious one (He's/she's crap). I refuse to suck up to WLW, and so I barely ever get printed *tiny violins*. In fact, the best letter I ever sent (I think, at least) was one where I asked in a mock-sympathetic way why he/she wasn't funny any more. Never got printed. Git.

Initially I thought "Zine revivial? F*ck that!" But now I've had a ponder and...


..."to the Tongy Tank! This is WAR!"

note to self - get the tracks fixed. That sticking plaster's been on there ages now, dunno how much longer it'll hold together!

got to try!

Ive been sending stuff to zine for years but never got printed! WLW only seems to show the crappiest poems/messages lately, im starting to ponder zines future.

I'm thinking of making a brief return despite not having teletext any more...

Ooo harsh words...

I withdraw what i said somwhere about WLW trying to be funny- but not having anything to work with.

today a letter was printed where somone said something along the lines of "I'm going to see Busted in concert, who else will be there?" that was it- no comebacks or jokes. just asking who else would go. I actually wondered if that was printed on the right page.

I will join in with the ZRC and I hope it gets enough support, I can't believe how it has changed from what it was to what it is.

And there was that bloody Emma the Lil Angel doing the I love Busted thing as well...

Honestly, these people should be shot before they do any more damage.

Or people with names like 'Gothbabe' and 'Spiky Stuy'...

God, I know...

Originality is Everything, Newbie Feckers!

Can I join you?

I'm surprised I still read 'Zine.. Even Sauce is better now (actually Sauce is really quite funny... but then again I like RI:SE so...)
