Discovered in a Christmas pud - December 31: zine day!

[moonlightmead.livejournal.com]

Okay. Hope I can pull this off.

I have participated in DIALJ Christmasses twice before, and both times I have posted reviews of zines, specifically of multi-media zines with Pros stories in them. I did this because I thought that there was likely to be more discussion of Pros-specific zines and so I'd fill in some gaps.

But in fact there has not been that much zine discussion of any nature since then after all. Not that I can find, anyway. This is sad, because there are some cracking zines out there, and some of them are pretty easy to get hold of, whether you borrow or buy them. Some, alas, are trickier. And it's nice to know something about them so that you know whether you want particular ones, or how much of an effort you might be willing to go to for particular zines.

( So, for my day today... )

Pros in multimedia zines: Full Circle 1

[moonlightmead.livejournal.com]

Full Circle is a multi-media slash zine published by The Nut Hatch Press in 1992. The Nut Hatch is gone now, so I presume this zine is out of print. I bought it second-hand via zine-list. None of the stories are (as far as I know) online. It has 164 pages. There are two Pros stories, totalling 25 pages, and three crossovers featuring Pros or an AU Bodie and Doyle, totalling 29 pages. So that's 54 of the 164 pages, or a little less than a third. Still, that's a lot of words...

( Words about those words )

Pros in multimedia zines: Liaisons 2

Liaisons II is a multi-media slash zine published by Up The Rebels Press in 1993. I presume it is out of print. It has 210 pages. There are four Pros stories, totalling 32 of those pages. Three of them are online: the remaining one is only six pages.

( Oh, and there is a very pretty cover... )

Pros in a crossover zine: Revolution

[moonlightmead.livejournal.com]

Revolution is a zine novel by Madelein Lee. It is a four-way crossover between Star Trek, S&H, Pros and a fandom known as Tris and Alex: Tris and Alex are two rock gods with a remarkable resemblance to Robert Plant and Jimmy Page, a resemblance I know about because the covers have very lush art by Suzan Lovett :)

I borrowed this zine off a friend some time ago, and when I saw a copy for sale on zinelist, I jumped for it. It's got 191 pages and just under 500 words to a page, so it's 90,000 or more words. Whee!

( So, how do you mix four fandoms together? )
