Is anyone from Scotland or the North East of England heading to #Dragonmeet and have a bit of stall space for some copies of Secret Passages? I *might* be able to attend, so I’m scoping out a presence. I can contribute to your petrol/give you a cut of sales, and meet you there on the day.

The increase in overseas postage costs - plus a couple of people who took payment without delivering any work - has depleted Secret Passages’s funds to the point where I’m nervous about the zine’s future. If you have any cool ideas for rewards in future Kickstarter campaigns, please let me know.

Tried to go out tonight but had a panic attack. I know objectively sometimes you can push yourself and it works out, and sometimes it doesn’t, and that’s okay. But it doesn’t stop me being angry at myself.

It's kind of incredible that a team of volunteers make this happen. We apply a level of focus to it so that it's a professional event and that way when it's happening we're able to enjoy it. I probably said it was "easy" or "a piece of piss" on a few occasions over the weekend.

In many ways the invasion of Ukraine is very much a Russian response to Yugoslavia in that an overwhelming majority voted to voluntary dissolve and a small number of nationalist refuseniks were propped up by a genocidal motherland in order to violently argue otherwise.
