Saw this sad and unfortunate bit of news from “What’s New In IF?” in my Fediverse feed:

I don’t think I ever encountered this zine? Doing a site search for it on intfiction gives no results. Were individual parts ever linked here, perhaps?
PS - If you go to download issues at the moment, you get a big quarantine warning page from itch about a current Join My Discord scam (affecting many pages). I don’t think that’s going to be relevant and you can choose to download the zines.

It started on Tumblr (was mainly shared there), and more recently on the CoG forum and other social media. Eventually I think they would have popped up here (they interviewed Jacqueline Ashwell in recent issues), but no one posted about the zine here. I’ve seen it being discussed in IF Discord servers though.
I’ve seen them answering this issues on Mastodon a while back. Essentially, because the account is used by multiple people, it’s been flagged by itch, making the warning appear to some but not others.

As announced, it’s resumed with a new team: here’s issue 22.
(Itch still gives the “this page has been quarantined” nonsense as mentioned before, which I believe there is no risk to clicking through in this case.)
No new interviews for a while, but it’s definitely worth looking at the past ones.
