About Me

I make a fairy tale-ish litzine called 398. Currently I have issues #6, #8, #9 and 398#10 available. I also make the zine Excerpts from Perzines and have a few copies left of issue #2.
If you'd like to know more about my zines or would like to order some you can send me an e-mail.

My Interests

writing, reading, zines, taking pictures, dance theatre, HCA, betta fish, baking at midnight and IQ2000.

I'd like to meet:

zinesters. and people with equivalent cool points to those who make zines. no random bands, please. mostly cause it takes my computer ages to load your pages.

Hans Christian Andersen. Fairy tales of Oscar Wilde. Tamora Pierce (mainly Tortall ones). Francesca Lia Block. L. M. Montgomery. J. K. Rowling. Eoin Colfer is hilarious. Patricia C. Wrede. Philip Pullman. J. R. R. Tolkien. the Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery. Peter Pan. The Secret Garden. Donna Jo Napoli. And ballet/dance books. And biographies, especially ones about writers or crazy dancers like Isadora Duncan. And zines, of course. ;)
