I'm planning to start making some fan edits/preservations of my own, and would be happy to distribute them, but I don't want to buy a DVD printer for the discs, nor do I want to apply sticker labels. Is it really too "bootleg-ish" to just write directly on the disk with a DVD-safe marker? Is this what the majority of people here do? Which markers are best?

My prefered method of labeling a PiF is to leave the disc blank, place the disc in a paper sleeve and write in the upper corner of the sleeve. The recipient can do what ever he wants after that. And I love getting trades on blank hub-printable discs.

Many people just write on the disc with a marker (fine tip Sharpie is my personal choice), though Sluggo's method is far superior and certainly more appreciated by people like me who own their own disc label printer.

Unless they specifically ask for it, just leaving it blank is fine.

[hijack] Has anyone else had problems lining up those damn sticker labels with what prints out? Mine are always off center, no matter how times I align it. And the damn alignment changes too.
