I got back late last night and I'm going through some PMs and other stuff now everyone. Didn't forget about ya'll and I'm humbled by the support. I was telling a few people I wasn't sure how this would turn out and I really only planned out two or three Volumes accordingly. Glad that I know I can put some more time and effort into it.
Also I haven't had the chance to send out the Volume 1 Run 1 yet but I will this week. I'll also work on a Volume 1 Run 2 for everyone else who's said they wanted something. I can always make more so please just let me know if you'd like a copy.
And finally, it would really help me if you clearly stated if you wanted to be on the mailing list or just wanted a copy of a certain Volume. Thanks!
Oh man I can't believe I just saw this. I'd like to subscribe for sure!
Just realized why this resonates with me so much; I was an avid 2600 reader in the early days and this reminds me soooo much of that!
Edit: and I'd love a copy of No.1 if there's a rerun
Sure. I'll post here when Run 2 is finished and send another PM train out looking for addresses
.
I'm super glad I was able to get in on the first run of the Tactile Fanzine!
Gotta say, I really enjoyed reading it! Print just feels so personal. Thanks so much CPTBadAss for putting this thing together and for spreading the love for DIY! Can't wait til the next one comes out.

^cheesy symbolism about MST being a nice warm place that makes GH so unique and welcoming!?
I'm pretty sure you had a better time reading the zine than I did. It's so romantic in that picture!
Hey cptn
I just found this link in the (what you received in the mail today) thread. I love the idea and as someone new to GH and still a little unsure of my place and how I can better fit in/help contribute things like this are great. It lets people know there's a lot of stuff going on other than artisan sales and SP/GMK key set GB's (not that I don't love those) but I'm more interested in the DIY movement here And in the process of aquiring the things i need (plus reading up all i can on soldering,PCB's,lubing mixtures switch differences etc.)I would love to support this in anyway and thank you for taking the time to birth this project. Please let me know if I can contribute in anyway as I'm really just learning a lot of this myself I wouldn't have much to offer or add to the technical aspects of things but I'd love to be of service!
Sincerely
Sed8(Ashley)
Thanks for the offer to help :). Right now I'm looking for people to contribute writing. Like an article based on the theme of the Volume or perhaps a writeup on a project the person has been working on. I'm also looking for graphics, drawings, doodles, sketches, or anything I can use as cover art.
Other than that, please post here or PM me with ideas of what you'd like to see in the magazine. The general goal is to put a spotlight on the DIY culture and Making Stuff Together sub-forum here on Geekhack and perhaps elsewhere in the keyboarding community. If you see a project you think is cool, let me know.
Deng cpt! I am in love with the magazine idea. As an art student in uni, lmk if you need any graphics done! Id love to help out =)
Sick, thanks for letting me know. You'll be getting a PM shortly :).
I'm all over this with my nostalgia-boner for my old punk fanzines. A shame I didn't hear about this until now. I request to be added to the list to receive the next volume of a library photocopied zine which makes abundant use of cut and pasted letters from magazines like some pre-computer ransom letter.
PM and we can discuss addresses and donations. We can also discuss reanimating the corpse of Steven Wells and giving it a HHKB to see how often he complains about how they changed where the caps lock was located.
You too will be getting a PM shortly :). And LOL that's pretty much how I'm slapping this together. Someone told me at work that I should just buy all the printers and stuff but they obviously don't get how these zines are supposed to be made....and you do :P
This is a great idea CPT, I'd be really interested in an issue!
It seems like a great way to connect with the community even more, and I love the interviews and themes ideas.
let me in!!! this is a must have for my zine collection!!!
I'll add you two to the list of people who want a copy :).
I would like to subscribe please, PM incoming.
You'll be getting a reply shortly, thanks for being patient.
If you've donated to me, I have found a way to send out my thank yous. It will be coming hopefully soon. I'll get with you soon with some more info.. Thank you so much to Booper, adzhar, FreeCopy, and trizkut for the donations. You will be put on the mailing list and I will make sure I post exactly what I spend your money on. I also plan on buying one of those refillable debit cards and shunting all the donated money onto that card. That way it's not floating around in my Paypal.
