Trading zines, anyone?

So I'm really getting into the idea of zines - small print-run, not-for-profit, self-published magazines, usually A5 size on a variety of topics.
I was wondering if anyone here writes them? Or would be interested in an exchange?

I don't think I've ever seen a zine in person. Did the internet not make them obsolete?
There's a certain novelty to the format though, I must say.
It'd be fun to have a zine stand at ExiliCon (2016?).

The 'Blogging Age' does make them a little obsolete, but there are people out there who still make them (as well as publish the PDF versions online).
We should definitely have a stand at the next Exilicon. This one is a bit short-notice

Well if you've got some we could still run one this year. I don't have anything suitable to contribute really (short of the stuff I've written for
tUGS
). What's the zine scene like in the UK?

SF fans (i.e. fans of
written
SF) used to produce quite a lot of zines of varying sizes and qualities, and I think it's from that community that the name originates. I think some still do, but I suspect a lot of the output has gone electronic.

So I just rediscovered this thread and realised that Exilicon 2016 is THIS YEAR?? D:
Time to get making, I suppose.
