Once Upon A Distro

I've been making zines since I was 15 - more than half of my life. At various points, zines have been a way for me to connect to communities that I didn't have access to, as well as being an important place for me to write about the stuff going on in my life. 

I've always written zines. I've always read zines. I've always wanted to do more. So, now I am. Once Upon a Distro is open for submissions starting now, and will be open for purchases and things starting in January of 2012.

What I'm looking for right now are personal zines, particularly those by women, people of color, and GLBTQ folks. I'm not opposed to spoken word titles and crafts, but those will not be my priority. 

Please feel free to mail your zine for submission to:

Seriously. I'm happier than I knew I could possibly be. I have a great place with awesome roommates, a job I can't really even call work because it's so much fun, and I'm in love with this girl and this city who both take my fucking breath away.

So, why do I feel like I'm always waiting for the other shoe to drop? I'm learning to take it easy, moment-by-moment, and let the anxiety and fear roll off me. To be kinder to myself when I can. And to every now and then stop for some well-earned back-patting. I made this life for myself. I made a series of really hard decisions that lead me here. I've earned this.

It's REALLY happening! I'm moving to Philly in Sept with one of my bffs and one of my favorite chess nerdsters!

"Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it’s cracked up to be. That’s why people are so cynical about it…  It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don’t risk everything, you risk even more." (Erica Jong)

I need to go ahead and make a website while I'm not working to house various creative projects. I'm not opposed to paying for a host, but would prefer a pretty easy WYSIWYG editor to be included. Y'all are a generally really creative, resourceful group of people. What host would you recommend?
