I'm taichara and my zine history has been wobbly but present, lol -- aside from Pern OC-centric vaguely apa-style things in the late 90s, most of my zine stuff until the last ~10 years has been a few submissions to digital ttrpg zines.
Then I started making my own (ttrpg) stuff because why not? Then stripping down the format of what I did, starting some years ago.
Last year I finally started doing some non(-exclusively)-ttrpg zines and I want to do a shitton more; a lot of fiction, probably *lol* but also other things. I do digital print-at-homes but will happily make dead tree versions ~
Just finished a zine last night in fact! :D It's called Castles In The Sky and it's about how it's fine, damn it to just dream and daydream about your hobbies, you don't have to be On all the time.

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
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.)
