I’d love to be friends with some of them, but there’s the I’m a mod for a zine where main mod left & mislead the other mods into thinking they had more experience organizing projects than they actually did. To make matters worse, the main mod was overly ambitious and ended up taking on more contributors & planning more merch than we can afford. As a result, the remaining mods now have to do a ton more work to make up for the main mod’s lack of foresight. It’s just frustrating to me to have to clean up this mess, but I’d feel bad if I also up ‘n left. Im in several zines atm and on one of them the main mod left...but Im working on another zine where that same mod is still active...heh just Im a International contributor and it really bums me out when theres promise of a physical copy but then the mods announce that Intl shipping is too high to cover so to get it, I have to fork out a lot due to my currency. I know it cant be helped sometimes but it just feels bad to be promised something, only to find out you have to pay like ~a weeks worth of groceries for it I recently finished a piece for a zine of a fandom I used to be in but lost interest in. even though Im not a fan anymore, the participants and mods were so kind and supportive and gave such amazing feedback that it almost makes me want to get back into the content again. Ill definitely have to submit it for a positivity pick! Ive been using zine rejections as an excuse to start putting more technical work into my art. Ive never been accepted to a printed zine
