Thanks for reading our zines!

And art! Pretty Sheppard and McKay art with KISSING, and stories that made me smile and smile and smile. ♥

and in the comments: yes! real zines! if I ever questioned why people would buy zines when there's so much fic on the internet, that ended the second I got these volumes in my hands.

and ...such a great set of zines. they surpassed my expectations, and then some.

"I have to admit I'm starting to see the attraction of these things."

So. Over the summer, in the dizzying New York heat Speranza approached me and asked if I'd be interested in participating in a zine. Being what some people call a "whippersnapper" my basic answer was, "That's fanfic that's been printed out and stapled together, right?"

I turned out to be wrong, and now, months and months later, I've gotten my two volume set of Surfacing in the mail and have lost most of the last week to lying around in my bathtub drinking wine and reading fanfic -- guys: I can read fanfic in the bathtub -- you see why this appeals to me now, right? Right?

I can't say enough nice things about these volumes: they're really amazingly beautiful and well put together, wonderfully bound and the stories in the collections are pretty rocksome, too.

(she goes on to say something about that Pru chica...)

Well, the zines arrived in the mail. Surfacing I and Surfacing II and they are wonderful looking and feeling (heavy, many pages of readable but not big, space-taking print). The covers are so nice, the coil binding is high quality, the paper is good, the printing itself is sharp and clear and pleasing to the eye. They're everything I could have hoped for when I was invited to participate and I am overwhelmingly happy I did so.

Also, I got my Surfacing zines on Thursday night! I'm about 3/4 of the way through and so far I've loved everything. I haven't reached my own story yet, but it's 32 pages long or something and considering how many times I completely rewrote it, that's like 96 pages of effort. Counts for something, right? *grins* 240k words of OTP wallow, man. Honestly, that's pretty awesome. ♥

And, in the comments: I loved the zines a kind of ridiculous amount!

I've met two neat new local fangirls via Surfacing so far, and will be meeting another woman on Monday.

These two zines include some of the finest stories I've read by many of the best authors ever. Other SGA zines in the future will have a tough time matching the quality of these and I'm proud to have been a small part of it. Thank you, Stormy and Val, for inviting me.

Sincerely,
Lorraine

I'd like to thank you, Stormy and Val, for all the effort and care you put into these two zines. I was pleasantly surprised by their smaller size--they really are just like two novels! I waited for my zines, checking the mail everyday, and when they finally came I had a major fangirl moment and went to hide in my room for 3 days!

As for the authors, every single story in both zines is some of the finest work I've read in SGA--absolutely wondeful! I knew I wouldn't be disappointed. These are the zines of a lifetime!

I just got my zines today and immediately deserted my schoolwork to page through them. The interior art is incredibly gorgeous.

As I was flipping through, "Ordinary Life" by shalott and Speranza caught my eye, and I ended up reading the whole thing. It made me laugh so hard, not because it was funny although it is, but just from the pure awesomeness. I can't even say without spoilers, but... John and Rodney are both perfect combination of incredible dorks and and fucking rock stars.

Going to go read it again now.

In her Escapade Con Report, Arallara writes: At some point on Saturday, I made it to the dealers' room to buy my copies of Surfacing, and it positively killed me not to be able to start reading them immediately. I actually had a moment sometime on Saturday when I got kind of teary-eyed as I was looking at the zines. They're so gorgeous, and I was just so happy to have them, and I've been in such a greatbiglove place with SGA fandom and McKay/Sheppard recently, and I seriously almost cried thinking about how glad I was the zines existed and that I would get to read them. Yep, fandom makes me really incredibly sappy sometimes. *g*

I have a couple of quick questions. Does the mail service take a little longer than the 7 to 14 business days sometimes? I think the US and Canadian mail systems aren't getting along. And I'm assuming there aren't tracking numbers, right? Well, because that'd be a lot of numbers to track and such. Just thought I'd ask- it's been a bit over 14 business days since the bank showing my check cleared. :) Thanks, can't wait!! (Clearly. Hee!)
