- Which gives the widest readership - web pages or zines?
Hard to say -- but if your part of the world is anything like mine, the number of people entirely without web access is shrinking at a furious pace.
- What are the pros and cons of each for writers?
* If you put it on a web page of your own, you don't have to wait months or years for somebody else to finish working on a zine.
* With a web page, you won't get as much active editing (unless you really work at getting it).
- Which do readers prefer? It's cheaper for me to read stories on-line but
I do find hard copies much more pleasant to read from.
Personally, I vastly prefer web-based. Even if I was still using an old 28.8kbps modem it'd have to be an insanely long story with a lot of illustrations before the phone connection charges even approached the costs of international postage.
As for hardcopy, most browsers have a "Print" button. If you care about layout you can always offer a PDF version (as Kathryn has done with _Staked Blake_).
