Fun write.

As someone who contributes to a zine, goes to zine fests often, and has a lot of friends who do conventions with short form print - I agree.

In general my opinion is the waves are more or less outsiders who stumble into it, or a certain IP, and they are introduced to a whole other medium they didn’t really experience. Unless of course, they frequent a very awesome local book store in their city with a dedicated zine section.

Thank you!

I'm sure there are surges around conventions featuring zines rather than focused on zines as well, right?

Can't remember the last Queer Pride event I attended that did not have many many zines. Hell, one of my gender affirming care clinics used to have an entire zine library in the waiting room.
