For the send by date, too far out? Would Mid Feb. be better?

that link lead to another - 16 page book too... http://www.metacafe.com/watch/1000304/makeabook16pagesjustonepieceofpaper100origamiw/

however SB does the formatting that makes the underscore disappear - so all the italic words need to be separated with an underscore. from the word MAKE all the way to after the word ORIGAMI

When you say send an email version to you, what does that mean? I make all my zines by hand and there isn't an electronic version of them. I make a master and then copy it to create the reproductions. I don't have a scanner to scan it. Can I just send you a hardcopy?

I'm curious about beenebag's question too... I tend to do half on the PC and the rest by hand... scanning it in can be tough.

My zine is going to be three "one page zine" sewn together, I hope this is okay...

When do we get our partners assigned?

I heard back from Pavla about the scan question. She said:

"There will be no need to send a copy of your zine to me, too many people cannot scan/email, and I just dont have the time to handle that many. Sooo, Just send to your assigned partners please. Thank you all."

Pavla, Thanks for coordinating this swap.
