BOOM

~ sorry ~
In the past few weeks, Caitlin and I have made a zine called BOOM.
We got all our articles (if you can call them that) together and Caitlin made them all into a lovely order and put them on publisher and whatnot and they were ready to be printed.
I can honestly say, printing those zines was the most stressful thing that's happened to me on a computer.
They were all in a lovely order and after we'd printed (on both side) our draft we realised that when we folded the pages in half, the bits we wanted on the front were at the back and the bits from the back at the front and it was all jumbled.
So we shuffled them around and tried again, after about 4 whole 'duffs' being printed (at 54p per print) we managed to get one that made sense. Alas Caitlin had no printer credit left on her card so we swapped accounts and the one she'd saved to her memory stick wasn't named the one we'd renamed it as, so naturally we thought we'd lost it.
Many amounts of tears later, we printed 3 good copies of our zine (in black and white, unfortunately) and we had time for a quick 'publicity shot' of us hiding behind them in the art section of the library before I had to dash to maths.

It's terribly exciting but now, as people have shown a little interest in them, we will have to print more copies. Alas we cannot print copies without money. So my mother and father, after much confusion to do with an economics project and ebay, agreed to let me ask people to send their money and their addresses to our house.
If you want a copy of BOOM will have to send an envelope, big enough to fit and A5 zine in, your address neatly written on a piece of paper I can stick on the envelope and their money to my address (that I put on our Boom's tumblr)
