About Zits & Wrinkles

1. Team 

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:

  1. Carpe diem - "Seize the Day"

  2. Illegitimi non carborundum: "Don't let the bastards grind you down”

  3. Geniess Jeden Augenblick Deines Lebens  "Enjoy every moment of your life"

  4. "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!!.."

  5. Live like it's your last day on earth; learn like you're going to live forever.

3. Publishing Policies 😜

  1. 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.

  2. 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!?​

  3. 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!

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Genre - inspiring satire?

     

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

    2. ​In the hierarchy of humour and wit, we aspire to the highest levels.  However, we have been known to stoop to any level to get a laugh.
