Hi, I am Krissy and I Make Zines

I have been in the Fat Acceptance movement for over 20 years. I worked for a store in the Bay Area called Says Who? for 13 years. After that I moved to Portland and began the zine Figure 8. I started FATASS, the Fat Action AllStar Spirit Squad, in 2003 with other volunteers from Fat Girl Speaks. We cheered all over town from 2003-2007. I also helped organize FGS and the Portland Zine Sympoisum for a few years.

I am currently doing preliminary work for a Fat Zine Anthology and would love to talk to anyone who did a fat zine within the last 10-15 years.

I have been making zines under the name PonyBoy Press since 1994. You can see some stuff from my Etsy Shop below and you can visit my blog and shops also at PonyBoy Press.com

I couldn't decide if he was funny or offensive :>) And re; Barbara's note to you, I have gotten a couple of "love letters." I am so dang old and it has been so long that I didn't know what it meant at first! LOL! A man sent me a list of his emotional needs--someone to love him unconditionally, etc. I thought about sending him a list of my utility bills :>) You gotta just love life!

At 1:53pm on September 12, 2009, Kathy Barron said…: Hey Krissy ~ what is your policy on trolls? Would you kick someone off the site for nasty, trollish writing? I'm writing specifically about "Fat Bastard" and his comments in the "why I hate exercising" thread. He shouldn't have access to this site.

At 2:57am on August 17, 2009, Barbara said…: Hi, it is not really a big deal, but I saw on the front page that you had commented that this was not a dating site. Thus, I just assumed that you might know what to do if someone sends something odd to you. Basically, I have twice been personally contacted by people who use phrases like "get to know you in a special way" and make a loving connection" I am new, so maybe these people are just phishing, but it kind of creeps me out. What do they want? I am pretty sure it is not just me that these are sent to. But they do make me feel uncomfortable, like the sender is stalkery (not a word, I know) for large people, or maybe hates us and wants to be mean, or even wants an internet relationship of the non-friend sort. Maybe they are even scams, like they want to prey on people they assume are lonely, and then ask for money?

Anyway, I apologize if you are not the person to whom I should direct this. It is just that I don't want to have to leave this community because of a few creeps, but also if I am over-reacting, I would like to know that, too.

Thanks again,
Barbara

I am somewhat new to this type of site format so if you want to give me some pointers that would be great! I would love to share a bit about myself with everyone but I'm not sure where the best place would be to do that! Could you point me in the right directions? teehee
