Nice to meet you Taichara! Castles In The Sky sounds like it has an amazing concept, I can absolutely relate to the pleasure of daydreaming about my hobbies :D

Might I ask what 'apa-style' means?

Hi! :3

Castles In The Sky (as a printable) is hanging out over here if you'd like to see it; I can mail a made copy, if you like, but print-at-home means no address swapping right out of the gate X3;;

APA (which I should have capped because it's an acronym, whoops >.>;;) is when everyone taking part sends in their own bits of the zine and then the central editor/mailer collates them into one and sends out all the copies. The little Pern one I was briefly part of transitioned from sending physical contributions to digital right when I got there, lol.

(technically~ I'd say a lot of what folks know as zines are APA or "e-APA" these days by this definition like the ttrpg zines I did/do contribute to now, just because of the "many people submitting parts, one central collator/editor". it makes them different from solo efforts for sure.)
