I'm speaking from the position of being someone who contributes fic to zines, so I hope it's not coming across as me knocking the concept - I just don't know whether there's still a sizeable niche for zines to fill any more.
I guess my interest is in what a zine would have to be in order for zines to be successful again - like I've said in a previous comment, the economy of scale is always going to be against zine producers, so they need to be either better or unique. Many zines are neither.
What makes you buy a particular zine and not buy another one?
