Is it OK if I express great enthusiasm without really understanding what is involved?

If so, count me in.

Sounds interesting, don’t know what I might contribute, but I’m in.

Sounds excellent, as long as I can type rather than get an actual pen out, my ability to use physical writing implements is fading away...

Count me in sir. There's a great website called Secret Meeting that does a subscription fanzine, and as great as the website is, I love getting the fold out fanzine in the post every couple of months. :-)

I just finished my own hour-long journey through YouTube where an eager young beaver mentioned that he is finding incredible joy writing on paper with what he called an Analog Stylus! Then I realized he was talking about a pen.... sigh, the more things change, the older we get haha. Sign me up for the Grogvine. It will encourage me to improve my penmanship.

What a splendid idea....the slow burn of physically posting it around, and actually taking time over it, is very appealing....count me in!

Pen & paper rule. My group play via zoom but that's as tech as I get. For my Cthulhu game (via zoom) I created the characters and sent the character sheets out to the players in the post. I think you can tell that this idea interests me...

Sounds good! I have a stack of empty notebooks plus some I use sporadically. Plus I love fountain pens. Do any way to make better use of them is appreciated

I did subscribe to the grandfather of APA journals, Alarums & Excursions. I read and contributed in paper format, but in going digital it lost something. It just felt like another webpage to read.

But collating, printing and distributing a paper APA would be a thankless, and pricey, task. But one I would be happy to engage in.

I'm intrigued. I don't know what an APA zine is, but if you can tolerate the sort of handwriting that Mrs Pavilitski in English rated as B-, then I'm in.

Would there be a running theme for a given book? Or is it 'write what you fancy'? Do people reply to previous articles, like in a Viz Letterbocks?

Sounds great, and super keen. Some cost and timing implications for postage backwards and forwards to Australia though...

I love the idea of the APA zines - some of it your own ideas, but a substantial chunk replying to everyone else’s contributions.
