A fanzine is generally an [amateur publication]? created by fans?. |

The first fanzine came from science fiction fandom and was published in 1929. In sf fandom, many if not most science fiction fanzines are published without intending to make money and are given away to anyone who asks for them. Many fanzines are available for "the usual", meaning that you need to ask for it to get it. If you want to receive further issues, it's a good idea to send a LoC? (letter of comment) about it to the editor. The LoC? might be published in the next issue, in whole or in part. It was not unusual, especially in pre-Internet-times, that fanzines consisted almost exclusively of letter columns where debates where conducted in much the same way as they are in newsgroups and mailinglists today, but at a glacial pace in comparison. |
