Asexual Content Zine Issue 1: Relationships is Out!

Hi! I'm the editor of a new zine (small, self-published booklet) called Asexual Content. I just released the first issue, on relationships. This is a free, printable resource for the ace community. The zine is a space for ace people to share their stories, essays and opinions on asexual topics without having to do ace 101. This issue may be the first, but it won't be the last.

This issue has pieces from seven different contributors on a wide variety of relationships, from romantic relationships to queerplatonic relationships to friendships and more!

The zine can be read and downloaded online, and comes in two different versions so far, cut-and-paste and accessible. The cut-and-paste version is the standard version of the zine, with colorful backgrounds with text pasted onto them and scanned into a pdf (a traditional style for zines.) The accessible version has image descriptions, has larger, white pages, and uses Open Dyslexic Mono font. Soon there will be a printable booklet pdf version as well. Here are the links:

Thank you so much to all of the wonderful contributors who made this zine a reality!

Looks really good, but that flash browser thing is so annoying... a nice accessible PDF download link would make it so much easier. I eventually found a link after several minutes, but then I had to sign up to use it, ugh.

The content I was able to read looks great though, thanks for putting this together. :)

Sorry about that! I'm thinking of putting the pdfs on Dropbox too, or something similar. If I do I'll post a link here.

Why don't you just post them on the zine's website, and direct people to that?

Yeah, I have the same problem, and I don't feel like jumping through any extra hoops right now to read it. Glad you put the time and effort into making this, though! :cake:

Unfortunately you can't post pdfs on tumblr. I may make a wordpress to host the pdfs though, now that I think about it.

I personally like Issuu, but it can be a pain to download from. You have to have a premium account to make the download available to people without logging in. There's is an app for Issuu if you're on mobile and want to read it that way.

Okay! I uploaded the zine pdfs to the Ace Zine Archive's website, so now you can read and download them directly. See the edited first post to find the links!
