Forbidden Love

I want to make a yuri zine. That way, we can spread the gospel of the purest form of love.

But I really don't want to have it turn up like Colony Drop, which was /m/'s attempt at a zine that degenerated into insufferable elitism and oldfag circlejerking. Our zine should be about love and beauty, and we should receive input from the community as a whole.

What should I name it? What would you like to see in it? (news, reviews, opinion pieces, fanfics, poems, original art, etc.) SFW or NSFW? Where are some places I can distribute this?

Attached the Colony Drop PDF here, just so you can take a look. It's fine whether you agree with their viewpoints or not, but the tone and style of this zine are something we should avoid. Note that when this came out in 2011, it was shilled hard by the /m/ mods until the userbase told them to fuck off.

As a counterexample, here's a punk zine from the heyday of the genre back in the 1980's. Notice how everything is either pasted or scribbled, and the content more closely resembles that of an anonymous imageboard. I think our zine should have a more elegant look than this, but it should still be relaxed and spontaneous overall instead of dry and pretentious like Colon Dump.

1. You need contributors, do you have any?

2. You need graphic designers, do you have any?

3. You need a way of letting people know this exists, do you have one?

sounds comfy, i'd read it

we could have anons contribute articles and have it be a monthly thing

we could have a site like what ((Friedman)) does and publish it there. we could even leave the 8/u/ scanlations there

some shitty names of the top of my head:

>Yuritopia

>Yamayuri Council

>Lilly Garden


 No.23828

It could be fun to read. Just make sure it doesn't get retarded. Could also be nice to contribute an article or two anonymously.

What we'd need is people who could produce quality content once a month for this sort of thing. Doesn't have to be the longest stuff but of a good quality at least.

Art, fanart, fiction, fanfiction, shitty western made doujinshi/manga. Another good thing would be listing all the notable yuri manga/doujins that had released that month and where to find them.

Sort of. My skills are very out of date. I never finished my degree and I haven't really touched anything to do with design in over a decade but I'm sure I can come up with something. We're not looking to emulate the aesthetic of modern publications, so I should be able to whip out my Apple Macintosh 9600 with Photoshop version 5.5 and QuarkXpress version 3.3 and come up with something.

I think even that is overkill. If we're going to match the DIY cut-and-paste sloppiness of the punk era, we should use MS Paint.

Remove the fucking swastika if you want to have any effect. You need to influence slowly, not try and dump a bunch of shit people aren't just going to believe all at once. Even now I'm not fully trusting of Trump, let alone Hitler, though I've now seen and read some things to be full of doubt.

Otherwise, fuck yes, I'm more than eager to help.

>>23750

No, supposedly intelligent people cannot be tolerated agreeing with that shit. Nothing but a bunch of pathetic fucking entitled retards that don't know shit.

I was hoping for something classier if possible. Maybe go for flower motifs in the chart and the borders like in this 2nd image around each page.

You can make it look elegant and refined while still maintaining that DIY aesthetics.

Pic related was a zine made in the 90's by ex-punks who joined an Orthodox monastery.

I definitely know it should directly use /u/ or 8/u/ somehow in a creative memorable way to create more traffic and carefully make more of a name.

For example, say that we actually do get more well known and other people directly show support for us and our shitposting by direct association with little comments and following and stuff. That means they approve of us being a bunch of shitlords who love yuri and even often post about actual discussion for the appeal of fetishes and general appeal of characters and story while posting said girls naughtily going at it like humanoid 2D girl rabbits. We're almost always thinking about what we like about the characters as people while enjoying how they look and act and getting more people who like yuri will be a nice softer way of getting them to see through retarded pretentious/insecure bullshit on their own.

Just don't humor retarded shit like being "hurr alt-right" and shitpost back mockingly at blatant bullshit accusations. Of course, never let up on the mudshits if the shit has to be insulted. Post about what's cute and sexy about yuri, maybe make recommendations about certain manga or smut with details that might be important about it and stay away from tumblr retardation entirely. When you get bitched at for not having it, just unmistakably say to fuck off and be done with it then immediately engage in a pleasant conversation or simple reply with someone else.

Let's just remember to be fun. Theme and presentation are crucially important.

I'm just saying we can have good clean image quality and avoid the DIY aesthetic. Focus purely on a more romantic aesthetic befitting yuri.

A few other zine covers. Could also look at doujinshi covers like the two I posted from doropanda tours or anthology covers. I like the jokes and amateur aesthetic though in the OP. I'd want something more like last three images though but with more text stating what's inside.
