Collins Columns

What is the Collins Columns? It's your local sweet weekly zine. What's a zine? It's a thing full of stuff that people around Collins make. Oh hey, so that includes you if you live here! The Columns belongs to the residents here at Collins and is open for submission every week. It's your local print forum of sorts so please don't hesitate to send us all your drawings, poems, rambles, essays, and the like. We have a weekly theme too but we take everything. Also if you want to help us or ask questions, send us an email at columns@indiana.edu

Submission policy

Anyone can submit to the Collins Columns! Anything you submit will be published. However, we do not accept submissions that are antagonistic, derogatory towards any group or individual, spreads hate speech, or generally conflicts with the values of Collins LLC and the community agreement that was signed upon becoming a resident. If you have any questions, please contact the editors.

How to submit

It's super easy! Send us a high-res pdf, jpg, or word document to columns@indiana.edu, or you can leave a submission in the treasure chest located in the Duty Office. The Duty Office is open from 9 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Submissions for the week close every Saturdays at 5pm.

Anything from poems, journal entries, essays, one-liners, long jokes, memoirs, math solutions, rants, philosophical questionings, comic strips, lists, pictures, doodles, scribbles, works of art, discussion topics, advice, praise, reviews, arguments, political opinions, fan-fics, normal fics, recipes, or basically anything else you can think of that can fit on a standard 8.5" x 11" sheet of paper.

Editor, Collins Columns

Hi intrepid heroes! I’m Jack, I’m a sophomore game design major with a minor in Polish studies, and this year’s editor for THE Collins Columns. If you manage to be one of the lucky few that catches me slinking about, don’t be afraid to say hi! Be forewarned that my only chat settings include games of the video and tabletop variety, comics, fantasy and vampire novels, the overused bit of my being Batman (I can name all the Robins though), or just being generally off-putting. If I’m not shut in writing my super serious writings or watching my super serious shows, I can usually be found in the Commons/Chesh, or toiling away in the catacombs of Franklin Hall (the Game Lab). Feel free to shoot me an email, or catch me in-person with any questions concerning the Columns, Collins, or why the X-Men franchise peaked in the Decimation Era. I look forward to a great year with you all, and seeing all the entries from faces old and new!
