i hate to do this, but i'm in dire straits financially right now and could really use the help.

hi, i'm candy. i live and support myself entirely alone. i'm really struggling with rent, bills, and paying off the thousands of dollars of debt i've accrued trying to stay afloat. i'm about $600 short on rent at the moment and work doesn't pay me until after the deadline. please help me out, a buck or two (if you can) would make a world of difference. i would gladly draw you something for any amount.

thank you all so much.

2025 Fiction Podcast Zine Festival

When: Entire month of September, 2025

How to Participate: Sometime during September, make one (or more) zine that is related to fiction podcasts in some way. The zine can be of any quality. You can share it on Tumblr using the tags #fiction podcast zine event and #fiction podcast zine festival

What is a zine, anyway? A zine is a small booklet, usually made of paper, that can function as art or an informational pamphlet. They are traditionally hand-folded, and designed to be very cheap to reproduce.

Hang on, I've seen some really fancy zines, though? Sometimes, people or fandom will create projects under the label of a "zine" to produce glossy, professionally printed projects. These are often elaborate, gorgeous group art efforts, and are probably more accurately art books, rather than zines as they're classically defined. You could make one of these if you really wanted to, but I'd encourage you not to, and instead spend just a spare hour (quick), afternoon, or weekend (long) on it.

What should my zine be about? Whatever you want, so long as it is related to fiction podcasts! I'll put a list of suggestions under a cut at the end. You can also check out the wonderful things people made last year by visiting the #fiction podcast zine event and #fiction podcast zine festival tags.

What medium should I use? Hand drawn/written zines that can be photocopied are traditional, but you can use literally whatever you'd like! Digital is an easy option in the modern world, but you could experiment physically with all kinds of mediums if you wanted.

Do I have to make them printable to contribute? You don't! It's a nice gesture, but there's nothing wrong with just making one for yourself.

I want to make something, but it won't be very good. Do it anyway. The point of zine fest isn't for it to be perfect, it's to make a zine. That's an achievement in itself.

I don't own a scanner/printer/copier but want to make use of one. Any suggestions? You might have associates who work in offices and schools and would be willing to scan or print them for you. You can also check your local library, post office, corner store, and university (in that order, probably). The first three will often charge a small fee for printing, rarely more than 20c, the last will definitely charge a fee higher than that.

Hey, I've got something to add! Let me know! If you have advice to give (to me or more generally speaking), or useful resources, I'd appreciate you sending them along.

Resources:

Wikihow: How to make a zine

Google drive folder containing personal templates (.docx) for one-sided and two-sided 8 page digital zines

Ideas to get you started:

Short rec lists. These could be themed or just shows you like

An introduction to fiction podcasts for someone who's never encountered the concept

How-to guides or tips for audio fiction creation, navigating RSS feeds, making transcripts or other technical advice

"Why you should listen to:" for your favourite show

A promo booklet for your own podcast

An introduction to your favourite characters, stories or relationships from said shows

A "Steal Their Look" fashion zine

Podcast themed recipe(s)

A short comic

A short story/fanfic

Your own custom mixed-show anthology or episode sampler.

Mixtapes or music playlists

A scientific exploration of topics discussed in audio fiction

A short academic exploration of themes in various shows

Artistic collage

A short personal anacdote

A TTRPG hack based on a podcast

Fan booklet of podcast cats

Literally whatever you want

Hey guys something fucking bad happened

KOSA/the kids online safety act has been reintroduced into legislature after it passed Senate last year and then got snubbed. It is not unlike the bill that just passed in the UK a few weeks ago. If you don't want what happened in the UK to happen here, now would be a good time to vocally oppose it.

Here is a petition that can be signed by Americans. Attached to the petition is an easy tool that allows you to call and leave messages for your representatives. I have already done so. You can also email your representatives by searching for their name, most have message submission boards as well. This thing died once, it can die again.

Please sign/share the petition and contact your representatives.

things I would do if you're a nsfw/kink creative now because I've been eerily prescient about every single wave:

a) get a personal site with your own domain you own. now. not a carrd or third party squarespace. not next week. now. get it online with ugly-ass html but get your links there.

b) if you have the money: join one or multiple of eff.org / cbldf.org / freespeechcoalition.com

partly because they're actively fighting this, partly because they have members-only Lawyers You Might Need. Hint. Hint. Canary.

c) Write Down Those Lawyer Contact Numbers in meatspace. phone number of a real human being especially on paper, On You.

I have been in contact with lawyers for a few months now as my doujin circle knows. this should be telling you Many Things.

d) www.ecrater.com is where i'm going to be tentatively testing a shop because i like the fact you can *not* have payment processes and order digital/physical products via purely mail order.

(... be prepared for this to fall through too in the next 1-6 months.)

e) friends and followers of nsfw artists who earn most of their income through it: now's the time to support them. they're going to need the grace and financial flexibility especially mental health wise. domain/shop transfer/refund/therapy bills ain't free.

check in on them, and often.

f) get a VPN, use it daily to acclimatize, have them on your hard drive, several VPN's preferable. this is for the age verification laws coming. Start reading up on secure, privacy-focused infrastructure (prioritize email > website > shop in that order).

eff.org has a *ton* of resources.

g) prepare for discord and tumblr to be hit in the next wave. have alternatives *and actively start using them* if they're mission critical platforms for you.

I've played with matrix though I quite fancy IRC. if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I say these things not to fearmonger but to give yourself the maximum amount of time to prepare. the pendulum *will* swing back. it did with the 80's moral panic. it will for this too.

you just have to outlast the bastards.

so itchio has shadowbanned any games tagged with 'nsfw', 'adult', or 'erotic' so they don't show up in searches, and several devs have reported that their r18 games have been removed from the site with no warning

you know, maybe the internet shouldn’t be controlled by payment processors and terf lobbyists. and maybe people should be more concerned about this rise of censorship on queer media.

"Director Phoebe Kemp said in a statement: “Twelfth Night already toys with gender and performance – it feels like Shakespeare wrote it for us. This reading is about joy, solidarity and showing what’s possible when trans and nonbinary artists are at the centre of the story.”"

Hey instead of just canceling your Paramount plus subscription, put that money you were spending to good use by donating to npr and pbs

Only about $1.60 per tax paying us citizen was being spent on public broadcasting per year.

Donating $1.60 per month would make up for the loss of budget from 12 taxpayers. If you donate your paramount plus subscription of $7.99 you are making up for the money spent on it from 60 tax payers per year!

If you had the 12.99 subscription? You are making up for the loss of budget that would have come from nearly 100 people.

If just ten people do a donation of 12.99 per month, that makes up for the taxes of 900+ people. Imagine if 100 people did monthly donations? And that's JUST if you do 12.99$ a month.

Consider donating.

Hell npr has a special bonus service if you do 8$ a month^^^^

Cancel some subscriptions you don't use and do this instead.
