Replace my busted stapler!
My long-arm stapler has given noble and long service, but it keeps breaking. I've repaired it with some... non-standard parts, and so it's been breaking more and more frequently. Seriously, like, there's a bent paperclip holding it together and I used part of a miniature Canada flag to get the doohickey out of the casing last time. If it breaks again it'll take an OK GO music video to get it back together.
You're probably thinking WHAT THE HECK STAPLER COSTS TWO HUNDRED BUCKS. Not this one! But the majority of the pledge really does go to postage and copying, so it takes a pretty high-looking number before there's enough fat to skim off for a stapling spree. XD

About
Hi! I write & edit a handwritten zine that is whimsical and full of crude drawings FOR SCIENCE or something. I am a pharmacist, a filker, a mother, a runner, an unacceptably wiggly paperweight, and a hopeless fan of obsolete media: Livejournal, ANSI, and yes, the photocopied zine.

Lalala!!! is a handwritten zine about... the things it is about? The content is erratic but VERY ENTHUSIASTIC. Every issue contains crude drawings, lists of questionable accuracy, educational diagrams, extremely uneducational diagrams, convention reports, book/state/inanimate object reviews, alcoholic recipes, bad pharmacy jokes, worse pharmacy jokes, a colouring page, and in-jokes that are difficult to understand even if you were there. There's a theme song.
Lalala!!! started as an idle whim, and has grown in popularity to the point where I can't afford to keep mailing it out on my own dime. Your patreon pledge is mostly going to go to Canada Post to buy whatever stamps look the coolest, along with envelopes, photocopying, and staples. But not pens. Lalala!!! is 100% drawn with pens stolen from hotel rooms at conventions. Pledges at the $11 and above level will let me replace my @^$*!#@%&*#$ long-arm stapler that keeps springing apart, buy coloured staples (my son keeps stealing them) and buy little paper umbrellas. Umbrella drinks are a key part of the writing process.
Thanks for your support! I'm so excited that so many people want to read my ridiculous little zine, and I'm happy that this patreon will let me give people access to the out-of-print back issues.
If you're considering supporting La la la!!! but want to check it out first, go to the creator posts - issues 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 10, and 12 have PDF downloads for free. This is because I accidentally didn't mark them patron-only, but let's pretend I totally did that on purpose and frame my being too lazy to change it as a kind gesture of public accessibility. Or something. GO BRONZE
