Zines

Zines are books you can write and publish to NLACakaNM, using manuscripts (an item).

First of all, to start a manuscript, you're gonna need to head down to the Cafe, either University or the Comic Shop. You can  at the cost of 20k slime. If you happen to regret your choice of title, you can just. The author's name is already set to your nickname, but if you want to change it, you change your nickname and then. You're required to specify a genre for your future zine by using  (Genre list includes: narrative, historical, comic, porn, instructional, lore, reference, journal, newspaper, and experimental). If at any time you would like to look at the title, author name, and length of your manuscript, then use.

Now, if you actually want to start getting stuff done, you're gonna need to. Every zine has 10 pages (kinda) that you can work with, but you can  to customize it (maximum is 20, minimum is 5). Each holds a maximum of 1500 characters of content. You can fill it with information, image links, smut, whatever floats your freakish boat. If you try to edit a page that already has writing, it will ask you to confirm the change before overwriting it. You can also set a cover, which is optional. You do this with. To check any of your pages, simply  to see how it looks.

Keep in mind that manuscripts ARE NOT items and can't be lost on death. They're accessible from any authoring location (Cafe, NLACU, NMS, Comics). A player can only have 1 manuscript out at a time.

Once you are completely finished, you can  your manuscript (it will ask you to confirm that you are completely done with it), which will enable the citizens of the town to purchase it from any zine place. From there, it will be bought and rated by the people and you may even earn some royalty poudrins for it.

Zines
To obtain a zine, you must head down to any of these locations: Green Cake Cafe, NLAC University, Neo-Milwaukee State, or Glockbury Comics.

From there, you can  for zines. They are ordered by Zine ID, but you have many options for sorting them, including: title, author, datepublished, any of the genres (including narrative, historical, comic, porn, instructional, lore, reference, journal, newspaper, and experimental.), length, sales, and rating (use !browse [criteria]). You can also add reverse on to any of these in order to make it display in reverse order. Example: !browse bestsellers reverse (essentially looks for worse-selling zines). Browsing in the Comic Shop will automatically browse for comic zines and browsing at the Colleges will look for historical zines (keep in mind that any zines can be bought from these places).

You can also  in order to get info about that specific zine, including sales, length, genre, and rating.

Once you've found a zine that's caught your eye, simply  to buy it for 10k slime.

After absorbing the zine's content, it is your moral obligation as a reader to. The potential scores range from between 1 and 5 fucks (whole numbers only). If you hate a zine, then give it one fuck. If you absolutely loved it, give it five fucks. Simple. By the way, if a zine's average rating is less than 2.0 by the time it gets to 10 ratings (or less than 1.5 by 5 ratings), it will be excluded from the default browse. The only way to purchase it will be to use the worst-rated or all sorting methods.

You can  in your apartment after you've finished.
