If I'm honest, when I say "zines" I almost entirely mean ttrpg zines, although that's likely to change in the near future -- aside from system-neutral rpg stuff, I have one that's arguably straight-up fiction and I'm hoping to muster myself to gather up my little microfictions and maybe a bigger(ish) story into zine formats some time in the future.
Also there's at least one idea slowly percolating that isn't rpg-related really and isn't fiction strictly, so that will be more like an "actual" zine if I ever actually do it, I suppose? *lol*
Some zines here (Beasts In Shining Beads and Lindwyrm, for example) are printed on both sides of one sheet and then folded, stapled and trimmed to get a 16-page minizine. Here are the folding instructions:
To fold Wandering Wayfarers, fold each sheet as above, nest the second (folded) sheet inside the first, staple and trim.
To get Raspberry Ruminations doing what you want, print it double-sided, and cut the stack (well, two sheets) in half exactly as they are, both at once. Stack the half with the covers on top of the other half, fold and staple.
