Anyone Still Print Fanzines?

[Dayton3]

I was wondering does anyone print fanzines anymore?

Can anyone recommend any?

Or is everything online these days.

This will probably be better addressed in Fan Fiction than here.

I would guess that there are very few fanzines anymore, it's much easier and far less risky to operate a website.

I haven't heard of much but if you go to the address in my tagline you can contact MD Garcia-he offers printed copies of his work and knows where to find fan publishers. Otherwise-there are a number of on-line sites dedicated to fanfic. Hellsgate has a fairly good site and the United trek website has a multitude of stories. Rigel Kent has a nice ENT fanfic site which can be reached through the GuardianofForever website listed in this forum.

Thank You, Mr. "Mistral". Though I must say its your work that makes "S.T.: New Worlds" the special place online that it has become.

Dayton3: The reason I ask my contributors to submit their work as word processor documents is so that "fanzines" are possible just by right-clicking each story, downloading it to an individual user's desktop, opening & printing individual stories at home, at school, etc. (a lot of people already have Microsoft Word / Microsoft Works included in their windows office package.)

And then You put together your own "best of..." with a three hole punch & a binder, so that the Trek stories on my site can be used as absolutely easily as humanly possible by school districts throughout the world for literacy programs such as E.S.L. (English as a Second Language).

I think using ST as a ESL aid is a great idea-if the readers/students know that the tech is made-up. Otherwise you create a group of people who are wondering why they came to the US when they could have just gone to warp speed to Alpha Centauri!

Uh, right Tim. I'm so sure there's a Pakistani or Isreali (sp?) out there, convinced he's got the chops to be the Nebula-Class U.S.S. Sutherland's next Chief Engineer.
