Fanzine Listings (updated)

[morgandawn]

Update: April 15, 2013: The bulk of the fanzine information has been moved to Fanlore, the fan run wiki. You can access Fanlore's home page here.
_____________________________________
If you're looking for a list of fanzines by fandom, this is what I have so far:

Place of Honor:  Starsky & Hutch. Pepper has compiled the most amazing and complete fanzine listing. Mahvelous. Go here

1. Alphabetical listing
A-Team - list here (last updated in 1997) and here
Beauty & the Beast here and here
Buffy and Angel
Blake's 7  - Judith has an extensive list here
Dr Who - partial lists available here and here and here
Due South -Ray Vecchio Fanzines and  Ray Kowalski Fanzines
Inspector Morse here
The Magnificent 7 here
The Man From U.N.C.L.E - slash fanzines here, gen and slash fanzines here
The Professionals -The Hatstand  and Palely Loitering (with their own LJ here)
Quantum Leap - old list, needs updating
Rat Patrol - Excel spreadsheet here
Real Ghostbusters - here (defunct, last updated 2002). A more current list is here

Sherlock Holmes here
Stargate SG1 - old list here
Starsky & Hutch - Pepper's Amazing List With Every Possible Combination Except Pepperoni
Star Trek   - K/S Slash Zines and Star Trek Zinedex (gen/het/slash). An index of stories published in fanzines by title and author can be downloaded from the KirkSpockCentral mailing list (membership required).
Star Wars - Star Wars Collector's Bible (older list archived here)
Supernatural - here
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea here
Xena/Hercules - partial list here

2. Multi-Fandom Lists

Ming's Fanzine Archives (Star Trek, Star Wars & other Fandoms - click on the pdfs for the list)
Fandom Wikis - FanLore and Fan History

3. What To Do With That Aging Fanzine Collection?  If you don't  want to sell your fanzines on eBay or at a convention, the  Fan Culture Preservation Project  will help fans find homes for their fanzine collections - either at the University of Iowa or  via fellow fans.  More here and  here.

What I like about the Fan Culture Project is that the University will pay for shipping and loading of the zines.  I have several friends whose health has declined, don't want to sell their collection, but want to find their fanzines a good home.

Other places to buy/sell your fanzines: the Zinelist Announcements List, its sister discussion mailing list  Zinelist or the SlashSwap mailing list. You can offer your fanzines on LJ at Fandom Swap.     Jim and Melody Rondeau will also agent your fanzines online and at conventions for a small commission. As a last resort head over to eBay but beware you may be charged 2-3x more than you would buying from fannish sources.

For new zines/in print zines only:  The Zine listing communities - one here on Dreamwidth and the mirror here on LJ. Melody Clark has started MediaFen, a fanzine listing blog. The RSS feed for LJ users is here. The direct blog link is here.

If you're trying to track down a fanzine producer whose website has moved or gone away, try using the Wayback Machine.  Ex:  The Zine Zone (last updated in 2003) is archived here.

4. Any other lists? Drop a note. And feel free to link here, as I'll update it.

A-Team Fanzine index

[sidewinder.livejournal.com]

This is over ten years out of date (I plan to fix that when I can), but then again, not a lot of A-Team 'zines have been released since this list was first compiled:

http://ateam.sockiipress.org/findex.html

[bientot]

Are there actually zines for Farscape or Firefly?

BTW - very cool thing you are doing - you do very cool things as a matter of course, it seems.

I stumbled upon this while looking for something else

[ender24]

not sure, if you already knew about it:
http://fanhistory.com/wiki/Category:Fanzines
http://fanhistory.com/wiki/Category:Television_fanzines


(and thanks for making this handy list!
I swear, in this life or the next, I am going to update the SV list *g*.
its just, that its rather a new fandom, which means, lesser interest in zines, since so much of sv fandom is online available, and originally that list was intended just for me to keep tabs, and see if the fics would turn up online one day...)

Re: I stumbled upon this while looking for something else

[morgandawn]

got it!

stumbling back :D

[ender24]

to tell you, the SV list is all shiny and updated now :D

Re: stumbling back :D

[morgandawn]

yeah!!!

do you want multi-media fanzines with smallville fic? I have a few I found in my due south listings

absolutely :D

[ender24]

if there is SV in it, I want to list it!

Re: absolutely :D

[morgandawn]

My last thought - since your Smallville LJ list is not being archived by the Wayback machine. copy and paste a list info into Fanlore Wiki? Nothing fancy just the list of fanzine names.

In the meantime, I'll add a link to the various lists on Fanlore

it isnt?

[ender24]

is there even a possibility for LJ entries to be added to the wayback machine?

and for the fanlore wiki, I am kind of totally lost right now, I cant seem to find the page on the wiki, where I could copy and paste it?!

But if you are already there, you can totally take my list, and copy it, if you want and can!

Re: it isnt?

[morgandawn]

1. No way to add them - unless you remove LJ's robot blocking. even then, you have to hope they will scroll over your site. I use LJArchive to make a personal backup.
May I suggest that you get a dreamwidth mirror journal? it can move over all your current entries and then if you use dreamwidth to post, it will do a cross-post to both journals automatically. I have an invite code.

2. Fanlore - let me find the page (or start it) and then I'll send it to you so you can update it.

Re: it isnt?

[morgandawn]

The Fanlore SmallVille page
http://fanlore.org/wiki/Smallville#Fanzines

Once you log in, you can edit (look for the edit button. Wiki's use formatting, but I copy and paste from what is already there to match.

editing cheatsheet
http://fanlore.org/wiki/Help:Cheatsheet

Once you register you'll have a user page where you can record your info for posterity.

Online via wayback, but here is the RGB Fanzine (http://web.archive.org/web/20001018230008/members.aol.com/Venkie/rgb/rgbzines.htm) site.

[frogspace.livejournal.com]

Sorry, I forgot that OpenID accounts can't make links. :(

Gilda (gilda_elise on LiveJournal)

[morgandawn]

got it

you know, I am really surprised

[ender24]

there is no HL fanzine listing??
its like an really old fandom, and from what I know, still quite active (its also been one of my first slash fandoms *G*, so I have special love for duncan and methos!)

[damned_colonial]

Heya, there's a discussion going on in queering_holmes, here, about generations of Sherlock Holmes fans, and there's some talk about Sherlock Holmes zine fandom, but people don't know much about it. I was wondering if I could tempt you to come over and join in the conversation with whatever you might happen to know on the subject? (Or, of course, feel free to point us at other people who might know more.)

[tehopheliac]

This is really awesome and helpful, but I've been searching the net obsessively looking for a way to purchase zines from the net like how Agents With Style sell theirs. I keep finding sites that either list a ton of zines (but don't sell them) or that "sell" them, but don't look like they're been updated in years. I'm looking for something trustworthy enough I can buy view paypal or with my credit card and not have to worry about identity theft. ;__; I rarely ever go to cons and ebay is WAAAAAY too expensive. Are there sites like this? I've been struggling to find them for months! D:

I'm looking for (slash): Star Trek (TOS/TNG), Stargate Atlantis, Harry Potter, Supernatural (Dean/Castiel-- I'm not sure that actually exists, though), and a bunch of other smaller, minor fandoms. o__o

[morgandawn]

you may need to email the zine publishers to get updated zine lists and payment methods. Some zine publishers are cautious about web visibility and even those who are not, many don't run full scale ''professional style" websites that are constantly updated. However, most will take PayPal for new zines. Kathy Resch sells a lot of new KS and is still publishing (I haven't had time to update her website to include changes to her ordering process) but you can contact her here: http://www.morgandawn.com/kathy_resch_ordering.htm

Other active zine sellers: Ashton Press, Beyond Dreams Press, Lionheart, Mkashef Enterprises, Fanzines Plus etc

I suggest you join the Zinelist mailing list - that's where the new zine announcements are made. A lot of the active zine publishers are on the mailing list so you can ask questions directly and get up to date info. Reading the back discussions on Zinelist may also give you a good sense of reliability/ease of ordering. This is also where fans sell their used zines.

PS. I've purchased from Kathy Resch, Ashton Press and Lionheart and have had no problems with identity theft.

Sheila Paulson's RGB Page

[debwalsh]

Sheila moved her site to Topcities after AOL pulled the plug on space, but she was having non-stop problems with the ISP. I'm now hosting her site at:

Also, since Mary Bloemker's death, I've moved the Shadow Chasers fanfic and zine list to a new domain:

http://www.shadowchasers.org/

The zine list can be downloaded in PDF format.
