Zine there, done that

My city's annual writers festival always features something zine-related. This year, there was a panel, a how-to workshop and a zine market. I checked out the market. There were only four zinesters selling their wares when I arrived. They were friendly, though, as were all of the festival staff I encountered. The contents of two of the tables weren't for me - well made, but above my cuteness limit. I bought a zine containing six tiny games printed on plastic "credit cards" by six different Australian creators. The seller threw in a game card they said I'd need. Also grabbed an arts mag based in The Gong. That came with a shiny sticker which doesn't look shiny in my photo. Enjoyed reading both purchases when I got home. It was worth going to learn that Newcastle Library boasts an extensive zine collection! I had no idea!
