Updates, Updates

Oh, wowie, oh, zowie--how has the summer flown by so fast?! It seems like just last week we were getting ready to take this naughty little zine on an adventure to Brooklyn and now it's been more than a month since our last update. Bad, bad mistress of smut! I should be spanked. Hard.

So, along with promising never to abandon you like that ever again (!), I'd like to tickle your curiosity and stir up some of that ever-festering smutty energy by letting you know that there are some exciting developments happening here at Lickety Split.

First off, the NYC zine fest was a huge success. Not only did we have the thrilling experience of seeing new folks fondling purchased copies of the zine, but we were also able to network with some truly cool zine makers and artists and generally experience a hot, rejeuvenating injection of DIY pride. Zine culture rules!

Next, this spring, we were honoured and happy to be approached by Microcosm Publishing, and as a result, Lickety Split is available for wider-than-ever-before distribution on their website. Check out LS and other awesome zines here.

Finally, Lickety Split is looking to bring some fresh, new energy to our team in the form of event planners, bloggers and advertising gurus. Keep your eyes peeled for our formal call-outs and, if you're interested in writing for the blog, why not shoot a writing-related CV straight away to sarah@licketysplitzine.com.

What's more? Well, that's not even the half of it! Check back for pics from the NYC zine fest as well as reviews of some of the smutty and sex positive publications we picked up while there.

Keep those dirty thoughts coming and thanks for supporting Lickety Split!

Progress Report #7: The zines have arrived!

They're in those white boxes. Our furry stockroom creatures will now ferret them out of their cardboard confines and purr smutty wishes all over them before we give 'em out at the zine launch on the 21st.

See you therrrrrre. (purr, purr. how sweetly Beyond Human)

Lickety Split Layout Weekend: Progress Report # 5

I felt like I needed a little beyond human inspiration...

Lickety Layout Weekend: Progress Report #4: Caffeine

'Nuff said. Except that we're concerned about his caffeine intake.

Lickety Layout Weekend: Progress Report #3: Mobile Marty

Marty has usurped Oliver. The way to combat eye-rot from computer glare is to change locations to fake your body into thinking that your hours are varied, interesting and normal. Note: wall-mounted kalimbas, Verdun skies, handmade dolls by LK. We are now working in separate locations communicating via Gmail, Google Documents and Skype/iChat.

Lickety Layout Weekend: Progress Report #2...a little pussy.

Oliver sleeps while work is being done in the other room. He's our Beyond Human mascot for issue #7 and fuzzy inspiration for a laid back approach to zine-making!

Lickety Layout Weekend: Progress Report #1

This here is *safesolvent. He is laying our suh-weet baby down while K$ and I work on some content related bidniss in the background. Pizza to arrive soon! The printers need their junk for Monday.

Lickety Split #7: Video Progress Report

So yeah. We're starting to lay the next issue out. This time-lapse video is of Martin, Kathleen and I (Amber) working out the page order with scotch tape and paper bits. We also rely heavily on Google Docs and all the usual layout programs! But this is this is the first step and it keeps us in touch with our cut-n-paste roots.

You still have time to send in your names for the HIGHLY FUCKABLES LIST as well as submit answers to the question "What is on your sexual bucket list?" Please e-mail answers to k AT licketysplitzine DOT com. Launch NOv. 21st at Sala Rossa, more soon.
