Applejack
Issue 4
Applejack is a zine by Elodie Amandine Roy.
Applejack was published in Newcasle-upon-Tyne, England, in the 2000s. It was a photocopied, hand sewn zine that came with a free CD-R.
In his article "How the fanzine refused to die", in The Guardian (2 February, 2009), Simon Reynolds talked to Elodie Roy; "Roy describes her motivations for doing it the old-fashioned way as "romantic … I wanted to make something that would be visible and material and touchable. I wanted people to be able to read them and keep them somewhere in their house." She says she carries issues of Applejack around with her in her schoolbag and gives them away to "people with friendly faces. I actually like to know who my readers are. I'm not interested in having one million people reading my writing online, because then they're just a faceless, fleshless, distant audience. I like to feel in touch."
Before moving to the UK Elodie Amandine Roy had published the zine Bloom in France.
