Final writing assignment: zine and questions

As much as I LOVE writing essays with all my heart, I am posting to announce the topic of my final and hopefully greatest paper for Queer Writing Practices.  This paper will focus on a zine, or series of zines in my case.  I know what you might be thinking: ..the hell is a zine, Steve?  Good question.  A zine is essentially a cheaply made and self published booklet which allows for open discussion of topics by the author, much like a blog.  Zines also allow for communication between the author and the interested audience, as most zines give contact information.  They are very paper based, as they incorporate a wide array of shapes and artistry.  The zine I would like to talk about is "Kelly's Short and Queer" collection.  Kelly is a young individual who was born female and came out as a man, though still attracted to other man, but his writing does not focus exclusively on that aspect of his life.  In fact, part of what I find intriguing about this zine is the random nature of topics, as well as the variety of ways Kelly chooses to discuss them.

As for my research question, I really wanna figure out how people reacted to this work.  How big was his audience?  Was he well received/?  How much feedback did he normally get?  Furthermore, I'd like to know why he started and also stopped (actually not sure if or when this happened, but seeing the number of zines and the date of the first one leads me to believe Kelly no longer writes).  

Sidenote: if for one reason or another this falls through, like there is very little to write about (which I doubt) or there is little to no relevant secondary material, I would like to change to "Positron 3" by Sean Capote.  This is a much less lighthearted zine involving queer politics and the straight edge movement, but unfortunately it's unclear if it will be available to me.
