My name is Ben. For a long time I have published a zine called The Antisocial. While I've definately enjoyed it, there are times when I've felt utterly alone in what I was doing. Recently however, several of my friends have started to publish amazing zines. This is very exciting to me, and has given me new faith in the power of zines. I wanted to start this collective both as a way for these zinesters to be aware and supportive of each other's work, and as a way for others to see all this great work.

Let me close by saying that I write zines like Wesley Willis writes songs: "I write them. I dream them up. That's how I write the motherfucker's down. I freak like a dog."
