2. Mission & Principles
Mission: A creative hot mess that provides a forum for observations and musings on the trials and tribulations of getting older but still feeling young!
Principles:
-
Carpe diem - "Seize the Day"
-
Illegitimi non carborundum: "Don't let the bastards grind you down”
-
Geniess Jeden Augenblick Deines Lebens "Enjoy every moment of your life"
-
"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: Wow...What a ride!!.."
-
Live like it's your last day on earth; learn like you're going to live forever.
3. Publishing Policies 😜
-
Content - We publish what we want!
-
stories in words, pictures, videos, music, podcasts.
-
every story will be subjected to the review of the Z&W editorial board and "She-Who" must be obeyed, aka The Editrix - no exceptions.
-
stories will be selected by the Z&W editorial board at their sole discretion.
-
Fact-checking - all stories submitted for publication will be subjected to a rigorous review of the facts. However, as mistakenly illuminated by Samuel Clements, this will not prevent the publication of a good story!
-
88% original content.
-
12% recycled - some shit is just meant to be shared.
-
plus we will shamelessly crosspost blogs and stories from writers we admire in order to increase our audience!
-
however, we will always reference the original author where ever possible.
-
-
-
Target audience
-
Something for every attention span.
-
But.....we'll be happy if we can get a guffaw from a short, fat, balding, wrinkly, zit-faced, 60-something man named Ernie!?​
-
-
Infrequency - We publish when we want!
-
periodically - we'll aim for quarterly at first and see what happens.
-
things may back up a bit until we have enough shit to publish - then look out!
-
regularity may ensue with the appropriate colonic!
-
-
Political correctness
-
​We strive to publish in good taste wherever possible.
-
If there are multiple ways to interpret an article and one of them offends you - we meant the other one AND this publication is probably not for you! We'll gladly refund your subscription.
-
-
Value for Contribution
-
We intent to compensate our writers and artists fairly for their contributions to Z&W but we just can't afford to do it now.
-
Therefore we will be keeping our accounts in ZitKoyn (Ƶ)© see: currency of Z&W.

We aspire to be the "Mad Magazine for Aging Folks"
