I've been building a little corner of the internet for zine collectors, weirdos, DIY artists, and anyone who loves zine culture.

After spending so many months on it, I think I've reached the point where I can't judge it objectively anymore.

If you have two minutes, I'd really appreciate it if you could click around and tell me your honest first impression.

It's still unfinished. Some features are missing, and not every page is complete yet. But that's exactly why I'm asking now.

Does it feel interesting? Is anything confusing? Is there something you'd love to see on a platform like this?

I don't need compliments—I need your honest opinion.

My newest book, an illustrated novella co-created with the amazing artist Marie Enger (and with gorgeous cover art by @artwins ) is a dark fairytale-esque adventure about Marrow, a skeleton servant that outlives their wizard overlord and Kingslayer, the broken sword of destiny possibly going through a bit of a midlife crisis.

(ignore the preorder line lol, it's now available!)
