Discovered in a Livejournal

And now to review the most recently-published of my batch of second-hand zines (What's all this? see here.) Dark Fantasies 4 was published by Maverick Press in 1996 and thus is a mere 15 years old! It has 203 pages, eighteen stories, and assorted poetry, plus an editorial and an advert at the back for a Man From UNCLE zine. There are five Pros stories in it.

( The Pros stuff is 84 of the 203 pages, and almost all of it BDSM... )

Bounding onwards through old multi-media zines. For background, see here.

Concupiscence 3 was published by Manacles in 1993. It has 155 pages. There are two Pros stories (which come to 23 of those pages) and six others.

( I liked the Pros stories; the rest were a mix )

Hello, DIALJ Christmas tree watchers!

So we have had music as we open the presents, and there have been calendars and icons and ficlets and stories and I have none of these. I can't do graphics, and I made someone go ewww with my most recent drabbly effort (*iz proud*) so perhaps I won't do that, and I stupidly posted a story a fortnight ago which would have done quite nicely today and now I haven't got one for today. Whoops. But byslantedlight did say anything Pros-y. So I thought I would tell you all about my zine adventures.

I like zines, and I have bought quite a lot of them. Most of them are zines which are still in print, and some of them are very recent indeed. And nearly all of them are Pros-specific. So Pros-specific that even a crossover with Ladder of Swords is quite the departure. It is comparatively easy to find reviews of recent zines, and it is comparatively easy to find reviews of Pros-specific zines.

But recently I took the plunge and bought second-hand a great heap of crossover and what I gather are called multi-media zines. I kept waiting for them to sing at me, or to smell of interesting things if I scratched them, but apparently that is not the same kind of multi-media. Alas. Anyway, it is not nearly so easy to find reviews of these zines. Not if you only know about Pros resources on the web. (I did find a few which listed all the B7 pairings in them, and I expect that there are reviews over in S&H-land, but that is foreign territory to me.) So I thought I'd do some.

So here we go. I split them into separate posts, a zine per post. And over the course of the day, as LJ permits, I shall post a bunch of them. I am hoping to post them for Concupiscence, Concupiscence 3, Dark Fantasies 2, Dark Fantasies 4 and It's Greek To Me. We'll see how it goes. If you get fed up, do feel free to beg me to stop!
