How has writing for Cat Talk affected
your understanding of creativity
and/or community?
Would you like more zines at IPFW? If so,
what kind?
“All of my close friends here at IPFW are somehow
involved with Cat Talk. It’s also opened my eyes
to the fact that I’m allowed to disagree freely
depending on my own personal thoughts/values,
but that doesn’t mean that the thought I disagree
with isn’t valid in it’s own right. Cat Talk has
helped m realize that creativity is significantly
easier when you know you’re allowed to think/feel
whatever you’d like.”-Brittany King
“I am kind of a person who likes control over my
own creative projects, kind of due to a desire
to have the whole project be cohesive. The fact
that Cat Talk is a collaborative effort has really
helped me accept that discussions about real world
issues can be very messy; there are so many valid
viewpoints, and in the end it’s something that
will never really be complete. Cat Talk has pushed
me into writing for other collaborative projects
(for example, Bitchfork), whereas previously I only
wanted to write/publish in spaces that I had a
high level of control.”-Alex Bridwell
“Of course! I would actually love to see what a zine
would look like for each department on campus.
I feel like that would be an interesting way to
peek into another academic community.”-Tricia
Pelkington
“Mostly creative ones that encourage literature
and art beyond t be classroom. People forget
sometimes that reading is more than a classroom
chore. I think I’d also like to see more discussion
about Indiana politics but I’m hesitant to tell
people to start that up unless they’re ready for
war.”-Katie Taylor
“HELL YES ANY AND ALL ZINES.”-Alex Bridwell
“Pretty much any kind! I like perzines; I think
they show everyone has a story even if they think
their lives are totally boring.”-Gloria Diaz
“I think it’d be really cool! I don’t know what
kind, I guess whatever people want to see.”-Bre
