01: Excess Mortality, Issue #0, is an off-the-cuff screed about health justice and eugenics in the COVID era -- in other words, now. You’re in it. This is not a zine with facts and figures or citations, or the kind with useful tips about mitigations, but it does have vitriol. 2025.07.09. Perzine, 16 pages.

03: Elixir of Sex Shift is a brief memoir of gender transition and tabletop roleplaying and the ongoing pandemic. The classic “they have a smaller hitbox” or “I don’t want to look at a man’s ass the whole time” excuses don’t work as well with TTRPGs. 2025-07-30. Perzine, 24 pages.

05: Worm Porno is a semi-educational pseudo-memoir about writing nerdy smut, and the ways that a supportive community of peers helped me break through blocks as a writer; I share my lessons learned, and some random excerpts from my “oops, all OCs!” Star Trek fanfic. 2025.11.11. Perzine, 28 pages.

07: 4 Lowkey Transgender Movies (That I Saw This Year) is a mini-zine about queer and trans subtext that I maybe imagined in some movies. Or maybe it’s there! Loaded with illustrations and t-girl brainrot. 2026.05.29. Fanzine, 8 pages, 1/8 size.

09: The Girl at the Snack Bar is Getting Fired is an absurdist comedic microfiction minizine. Each page is a checked-out snack bar employee’s letterboard display. For fans of small plastic letters and black felt. 2026.07.24. Litzine, 8 pages, 1/8 size.

11: Gender Machine Broke: What My Dysphoria Felt Like Before I Knew It Was Dysphoria is a mini-zine meant to mobilize my personal experiences with gender dissonance to broaden readers’ definitions of dysphoria, with the aim of helping people find themselves in a cissexist society that doesn’t want them to. Digital copy available free for anyone living their assigned gender at birth and struggling. 2026.10.19. Perzine, 8 pages, 1/8 size.

02: The Knight of the Manticore is a prose fiction short story/novelette in the medieval fantasy idiom inspired by the frightening children’s movies of my youth, baby queer Western animation, and George R.R. Martin’s Tales of Dunk & Egg. 2025.07.10. Litzine, 32 pages.

04: I Just Think She’s Neat is intended to be an ongoing series spotlighting she whom we (myself and contributors) think is neat. The first issue focuses on Kristen Stewart, an actress I think is neat, Woody Allen movie notwithstanding. 2025.08.11. Fanzine, 28 pages.

06: Galatea vs. The Divine Feminine is a short story about a dysfunctional T4T couple on the verge of collapse. A tragicomic tale of jealousy and grievance at art school in the mid-2000’s. For fans of mess. 2025.11.19. Litzine, 28 pages.

08: Why I Wear the Mask is a “personal infozine” about why I’m still masking in 2026. Informally part (Issue #0.5) of the Excess Mortality series, this is a little tract pamphlet meant for dissemination. Case in point, I’ve uploaded multiple versions so people can do just that. 2026.06.06. Health and economic justice fanzine, 8 pages, 1/8 size.

10: Books That I Read in 2026, Part 1: January 1st - June 30th covers, you guessed it, Eve Reads for the first half of the year, featuring capsule reviews and random thoughts about dozens of books and graphic novels, running the gamut from contemporary lit fic to history to yuri manga. For fans of rock and roll, feminism, trans fiction, and smut. 2026.10.17. Fanzine, 36 pages.
