four things we do / three we refuse

01 / do

Preserve the page as laid out.

Upload PDFs or image sequences. Aspect ratios, bleeds, weird centrefolds — untouched. We don't crop covers to 16:9 so they fit a card in a feed.

02 / do

Margin notes, not comment threads.

Readers pin notes to a specific point on a specific spread. Everyone sees the same conversation; no timeline, no reply-soup.

03 / do

A plain-text email when an issue drops.

One-click subscribe. We do not digest. We do not re-engage you. We send a note, once, when the zine you follow publishes.
