Thank you! Since CB+ has a fanzine section, and by mutual agreement books can be posted there that are not officially PD, I wonder if you would be prepared to let CB+ host them?
Just a thought.

I'll ask my fellows. Most of our magazines are available in print, so I guess those are off-limits, but we have Forgotten Generation Extra which is a free, digital-only publication.

Have you heard of the Indieversity Guidebook? It's a project led by Eric N. Bennet in order to list independent creators' universes. We couldn't have Earth-Arcadia, so we went for Earth-1209, and here it is!

Thanks! :)

And as it is already March 17h, it's been officially 10 years since Forgotten Generation Alpha issue came to life.

The official printing wasn't out yet, but I felt very proud seeing my very first comic (not counting the one from school's newspaper) printed and bound.

Since 2014, I do everything online, since the local printer was a bit too expensive for such a small association like Arcadia. Now I can't see the finished product until all is printed and delivered from abroad, and it sometimes turned out a bad surprise. Luckily, we now have a good printer that communicates well. Communication is the key.
