And they are printed! Made some initial black and white copies at my public library. So happy with how they came out!

Going to try printing some in color next weekend too. :)

Orcs in The Basement Zine Volume i (page 4)

Zine- caption reads "During one of our meetings, a friend recommended Night In The Woods. A 2017 single-player adventure video game that follows a young feline anthropomorphic woman, who had recently dropped out of college and consequently returned to her hometown where she would be confronted by the changes within herself and her community. This game would be the emotional catalyst I needed at the time. I related deeply to Mae and her ragtag group of friends. Night in the Woods was the first game I purchased on Steam, but soon after my library would grow to house many compelling video game narratives that, like many of the novels we covered in book club, would offer a chance for introspection and connection with people who also enjoy a good story. Thank you for picking up my first zine. I hope you enjoy it :) " and on the second page with a final fantasy collage- the caption reads "I picked up my first Final Fantasy Game in 2019. My life has never been the same since then."

Orcs in The basement Zine. Coll;aged with manga and video game clips. Caption reads "One year out of college, I started a book club called seeds queer books where we mainly focused on BIPOC and queer authors. This became a very healing space as overtime the book club would foster a space for engaging with texts, connecting with community and learning outside of an academic setting. "

second page of the Orcs in The Basement Zine. Text reads "Hi! My name is Jaé C. and I love video games so much I made a zine all about it. By day I work in a library and by night I moonlight as a paladin, warrior, thief, healer and sometimes a blue mage. While I grew up playing a few Super Nintendo and N64 titles like your Zeldas, Pokemons and Metroids- I didn’t get seriously into the hobby until my senior year of college. Post college and the years leading to the global pandemic, I found myself in a pretty burned out state with academia and with trying to figure out a career path for myself. I had no clue what I wanted to do with my life, and after a series of disillusions due to work and failure to fit in - I started to find solace in books and video games. "
