We say Oblivion is published quarterly -- even though that's a lie. We're a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation. Nobody makes money from this. We're poor, but we've still got mad angst.

Subscriptions to Oblivion are $10 for 4 issues or $5 if you're poor. We accept cash, checks, money orders and stamps.

We accept donations, and those donations are tax-deductable.

We enjoy all kinds of zines. We only review zines that focus on youth issues. We haven't reviewed music, but we might if it's particularly relevant to youth. The same goes for movies and everything else.

We are open to sponsorship, an idea we stole from BRAT magazine. We won't run ads for your breakthrough acne cream and we don't give a damn about the Levis/Mod Squad cross-marketing campaign you're running. Don't even bother asking us. We are, however, open to sponsorship from people who don't simply want to sell worthless crap to kids. If you're cool, we'll trade space for money. If not, fuck off. We don't need your money.

We're always looking for writers and distributors. Writers get free shell accounts on our server, oblivion.net. Contact us!
