24 Hour 'Zine Thing

Months and months ago, I signed up to do the 24 Hour 'Zine Thing. And then we went to Anthrocon and then to Maine and then to [personal profile] lediva's reunion and then [profile] bard_bloom went into major work crisis for a few weeks and couldn't give me a 24-hour block of time and...oh look, there's July with less than 24 hours left in it.

So I'm not going to meet the official challenge, but I am going to do the 'zine, over the 24 hours spanning August 6-7 (next Wednesday/Thursday). I'm not going to commit to blogging a lot over the process, though I'm guessing you'll see some posts throughout the day. I'm trying to be good and not plan ahead as much as possible, but I'm planning to do a 5X8, 24-page perzine, on a topic I'll share at the beginning of that day.

I also am going to take sponsorships, to benefit The Knoxville Relief Fund, which has been set up to bring ministry, spiritual care, and practical financial assistance to those affected by the shooting at the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Fellowship. As a UU and an activist queer in an Welcoming Congregation, the recent tragedy felt very close to home. Send me a receipt from your donation (of any amount) and your address between now and the last few hours of 'zine production, and you'll get a numbered copy produced during that 24 hour window.

Wish me luck!

This sounds interesting. I have linked to it from [livejournal.com profile] cyberfund_creat and also started a discussion about whether charity projects "count" as cyberfunded creativity. I've been seeing more and more of them, and it's an interesting trend. Feel free to drop by the community or my blog and talk more about this topic.
