Kbin calls them "magazines", which has the advantage of being only three syllables but has the disadvantage of being a dumb name for them.

Yeah, I don't see anyone adopting "mags" or "zines" either.

I'd adopt "zines" expressly to overuse it, make people cringe and demonstrate just how dumb it sounds. "mags" just makes me think of guns

Zines sounds like something Tom Haverford would come up with.

I have never had a comment make me feel this old.

-Signed, an old man who used to publish zines in the early 90s.

I’m not old enough to have published zines but I am old enough to know what they were, and I think it is actually a pretty apt name for it
