See the bottom for more information, including instructions on how to obtain updates.) === Last updated: 15 Mar 95 by John Labovitz * PLEASE NOTE: If more than one month has passed since the last * update, this list is probably out of date. See below for * instructions on how to obtain a current list. This is a summary of 287 electronically-accessible zines -- what they are, who publishes them, and where you can find them. If you have access to a World Wide Web browser like Mosaic or Netscape, a much more readable and navigatable list can be found at the URL: http://www.ora.com:8080/johnl/e-zine-list/ This text version is automatically posted every 3 weeks to the following newsgroups: alt.zines, alt.etext, misc.writing, rec.mag, alt.internet.services, alt.answers, misc.answers, rec.answers, and news.answers. You can get it via anonymous FTP from ftp.etext.org in the "/pub/Zines" directory, as "e-zine-list". Gopher users can find it at gopher.etext.org under the "Zines" menu, as "e-zine-list". If you don't have access to any of these archives, you can ask me to send you a recent copy. For those of you not acquainted with the zine world, "zine" is short for either "fanzine" or "magazine," depending on your point of view. Zines are generally produced by one person or a small group of people, done often for fun or personal reasons, and tend to be irreverent, bizarre, and/or esoteric. Zines are not "mainstream" publications -- they generally do not contain advertisements (except, sometimes, advertisements for other zines), are not targeted towards a mass audience, and are generally not produced to make a profit. If you publish an e-zine, or know someone who does, drop me an email message, and I'll send you instructions on how to get an entry on the list. If you have any comments, additions, deletions, or changes to this list, please email them to johnl@ora.com.

It is a knee-jerk response to the fact that our world produces cultural under-achievers... Cropduster has so far produced various reviews and critiques of some of the lesser known aspects of people and places that teeter-totter on barely breaking even. The zine is an overseer of this as well as a product of it, because the thing itself exhibits too many of the traits it condemns: Lack of rigor, unfair attacks, vendettas, revisionism, stubbornness, spelling mistakes, and vulgarity.
