    Kbin calls them “magazines”, which has the advantage of being only three syllables but has the disadvantage of being a dumb name for them.

        I’d adopt “zines” expressly to overuse it, make people cringe and demonstrate just how dumb it sounds. “mags” just makes me think of guns

            I have never had a comment make me feel this old.

              I’m not old enough to have published zines but I am old enough to know what they were, and I think it is actually a pretty apt name for it
