I don't know if I can commit to such a regular schedule, but I think it would be funny if my zine was published triskaidekannually, 13 times a year. That's once every four weeks, so one month would get an extra intercalated issue, the Blue Moon Special. I would treat it like leap day or Chinese new year, a time for celebration you wouldn't otherwise celebrate. I would want it to be like a cross between April Fool's Day and Halloween regardless of what month it actually fell in (if I published issue 1 on January 1st, then Issue 2 would be on January 29th; if I published on January 11th instead, then the double month would be May 3rd and 31st, issues 5 and 6 respectively)
Thing is, I chose the title The Some Times because I specifically didn't want to commit to a release schedule (it's not daily, it's not weekly, it's not monthly, it's just sometimes, whenever I get around to it), but I do kinda like the idea of having a baker's dozen issues per year. 13 is a special number to me for a bunch of reasons, and if I had unlimited energy and resources I would totally go for it, but I know in my heart of hearts that I would burn out and give up if I forced myself to stick to such tight deadlines.
This is a one man project, and I don't want to bite off more than I can chew. I always psych myself out by aiming too high, so I went out of my way to give myself some wiggle room for this project. Quality over quantity. I don't want there to be any filler or padding just to tick an arbitrary number of boxes, I'd rather release 3 or 4 really solid issues sporadically throughout the year. If I have nothing to say in a specific month, then there's no point making up something half-hearted.
