Zines are a means of direct communication between zine creator - 'zinester' - and audience. The contents of a zine often fall outside of traditional, authorized, and/or academic forms of writing: personal stories are common, spelling errors come with the territory, use of idioms/slang/pop culture references are frequent. As zines don't need to be run by editors or publishers before they are printed, the opportunities for free speech and free expression are vast. Zines are almost always sold (for a reasonable amount), often at a negotiable price, or they can be traded. This model is a kind of PWYC free speech, or just PWYC Speech.
Forest City Zine Fiends is a monthly zine club dedicated to incubating zine culture in London, Ontario. This group aims to share resources, support fellow members, and workshop ideas. Zine Fiends will occupy Support Gallery for the first two weeks of July, running an exhibition, pop-up shop, and series of free virtual events.
