New Beginnings

Issue 2 has begun production! I've got most of it put together so far, but it's not quite done yet. I'm waiting on a couple more submissions and I may end up changing the line up still. Also, due to Paypal's adjustment of their fees, I'm strongly considering upping the sale rates to 25 cents or $1 per contributor.

Future themes will be announced well ahead of time so that contributors can reference it during the development of their projects.

Caffeine Zine Issue 2!

New issue of Caffeine Zine coming out next month! We're always accepting submissions, but March 31st is the deadline for Issue 2 submissions. Please send in whatever you have as soon as possible. Permission to raid your blog, deviant art or online portfolio is also appreciated. Submissions may be of any and all printable formats on 8.5 x 5. So far, there's only going to be an e-release, but as soon as I acquire the means for print copies and proceed, I will let you know. The sale price of Issue 2 will be based upon the number of submissions used. Please feel free to email your submissions, inquiries or other communication to CaffeineZine AT Gmail DOT com

Monetised

Hello All
Please excuse the ads, it's a quick attempt at generating some form of revenue. Please feel free to click away on them (I'm not sure which ones will require you to fill anything out to count) and let me know if they are a bother. However, if they are a bother, please feel free to purchase a copy of CaffeineZine or make a donation to encourage their removal. :)

I'm working on putting in a donation button on my blogs, as well as providing High-Res PDF copies of CaffeineZine for purchase. The first issue will be listed at a price of $0.17 and contributors will receive $0.01 each per sale. I'm not sure how much future issues will cost, the price will be very dependent upon the number of contributors per issue. Low Res, .doc copies will still be available through Issuu.com.

Always open for submissions, contributions, donations and comments. Please feel free to contact me at any time!

Expect the next issue in March. Updates will follow!

EDIT: Caffeine Zine Issue 1 is now listed with a Buy Now button! I'll also add a Buy Now for the latest issue on a more permanent location for easier use. Enjoy!

Sales

So, I've been thinking about putting the zine up for sale, nothing big, only like 15 cents or something. I wanted to give all contributors a portion of the profits, likely 1 cent each / sale. The pricing will be dependent upon the number of items within the zine at 1 cent per piece (to pay the contributor) plus a 3 cent base price (to cover my emotional damage). I still need to get permission from all contributors before I can do so, however. Also, I still refuse to hold any digital or otherwise publishing rites. Those will revert back to the author, but once your piece has been published, unless the rights were already sold/given away to someone else, it will remain within the pages of this mighty tome.

Low res .doc copies are presently available through Issuu.com . Higher resolution .pdf versions will be the for profit version and soon enough hard copies will be printed and disseminated upon request. Maybe I should just accept donations instead?

What say yee, peoples? Sale? Donations? Free forever?

Caffeine Zine Vol 1 Iss 1

After over a year in production, Caffeine Zine is finally hot off the internet press! Future hard copy coming soon! Please send all contributions, comments, etc. to CaffeineZine (AT) Gmail.com!

Enjoy! http://issuu.com/joshc4/docs/cz1-1

Post Nano

I need an easier calendar system for one...

Anyway, Nano has finished, submissions are still open. I should begin harassing the fuck out of you supposed contributors.
