The Mermaid Zine, Digital Version

The Mermaid Zine is a 57 page text-based zine containing four pieces of writing on the topic of merfolk, lovingly sewn together. There are four main pieces of writing in this zine. Firstly, I review the merfolk of The Sims 3. Then, I dive into the transgender implications of The Little Mermaid, both the animated movie and the original story. I  explore and retell the story of Agnete and the Merman while also researching the man who drew their tale. Finally, there is a post-apocalyptic sapphic love story between an immortal and a mermaid.

I have got multiple versions of this zine. Firstly, there is a printable version (though if you can't be bothered to fold a 57 page zine, you can check out my store where you can buy a physical, preassembled version). There is also a readable version of the entire zine, maintaining the format of the printable version but laying it out so all of the pages are in a reader-friendly order. Finally, I have added the individual essays/stories as they were originally written on a Word doc. Please let me know if you want any alternative formatting for The Mermaid Zine!

This digital version also includes the original drawing of the mermaid on the front cover.

I am also submitting this digital zine to the Text Heavy Zine Jam, a jam all about creating zines which are primarily about their text.  I am very excited to submit this zine seeing as I am primarily a writer, and love creating/buying text-based zines! Please support the jam and other submissions!

Both the zine and the picture are meant for personal use only. They are not for resale. Thank you!
