Websites for old paper Trek zines?

[tranya]

I'd love to check out old fan fiction from the 1970s and 1980s -- I know that there's a website out there for Kraith, but what about old issues of, say, T-Negative or a catalog of the stories in Alternate Universe 4? Are there other similar sites to the Kraith collected site?

I've always wanted to read issues of The Holmesian Federation (which, I think, only had a run of about 8 issues), but it was long gone before I got around to digging any of that up.

Has anyone started archiving these anywhere? Scanning them in and posting them as PDFs? Cataloging online as many of the old paper zines as is possible? Are there any American libraries which have decent collections of these?

There aren't many archived, but there is a site that sells copies of them. You might wanna get in touch with Randy of Orion Press; he's the big hookup on 'zines.

Hello! I'm cleaning out my mom's attic & she has ALOT of old Star Trek original series Zine's written by the hard core trekkie fans, along with the novels written by Gene Roddenberry. I would say they are from the late 70's thru the 80's, I can remember being taken to MANY conventions around that time as mom was a hard core trekkie.I was wondering if there is a place where people sell them or it anyone here would be intertested in buying them. I'm going to start compliling a list soona fter the holidays are over.

If anyone has any ideas where I should sell them please let me know! thanks!

You can buy a lot of old zines, and xeroxes of old zines, on ebay for next to nothing, btw.

I'd love to start a column of resources at "S.T.: New Worlds", for e-zines. Would anyone mind listing all the relevant yahoo groups & other related sites here?

Go here http://eridani.dyndns.org/eridani.php?menu=AN&actie=tekst for
stories included in Randy Landers' Orion Press TNG zines. Loads and loads of stories there, lots of good stuff, too.

I've just recently run across some stories on fanfiction.net that were originally printed in Masiform-D (I'm assuming the person posting them is in fact the author).

I would appreciate any information people may have on later issues of In A Different Reality, Alternaties, and any collections of the Valjiir stories. I was corresponding with the authors, but that was back in the '80s and I've lost contact.

I am also interested in Saurian Brandy Digest.

One of the authors of the Valjiir series has a website - http://valjiir.us

Nearly all of the Valjiir stories from IADR are there, though they have been extensively re-written (and greatly improved, IMO). There are also a TON of new stories - more new ones than there were in the original batch. And there's absolutely scads of incredibly good CGI artwork.

CAUTION - Lots and lots of adult content! Keep the kids far, far away.

yeah. I have a few of those Holmesian Federation mags sitting around here somewheres. Put them on eBay some time back, but no one bit...or saw them maybe.

Orion Press has a website. They don't have have all their catalogue available online, but it seems as if you can order stuff from them to fill that void.
