Heya, just a little FYI since this part of fandom history often gets erased, but you mention “mini traditional zines” to refer to DIY zines for potential merch. In fact, “traditional” zines were actually fandom zines! The first zine to use that term was for the sci-fi fandom back in the 40s. DIY/handmade zines didn’t come onto the scene until much later when photocopying became accessible, and these creators co-opted the term “zine” to refer to their projects. Just a suggestion, but perhaps you could change the word “traditional” to avoid confusion/fandom history erasure? :)
