DargonZine -- The Magazine of the Dargon Project
"DargonZine is an electronic magazine printing stories written for
the Dargon Project, a shared-world anthology similar to (and
inspired by) Robert Asprin's Thieves' World anthologies, created by
David 'Orny' Liscomb in his now retired magazine, FSFNet. The Dargon
Project centers around a medieval-style duchy called Dargon in the
far reaches of the Kingdom of Baranur on the world named Makdiar,
and as such contains stories with a fantasy fiction/sword and
sorcery flavor."

dreamboy!
"The monthly, spine-tingling adventure chronicling about two-weeks
worth of slumber-induced emissions. Travel with Chris, hero of the
socially awkward, as he traverses television-like terrain, conquers
the weak and less fortunate, and embarrasses everyone he knows.
Witness with intricate detail the never-before-seen interrelations
of Saddam Hussein and bowel movements. The National Hockey League
and Asian girls. Anton Szandor LaVey and the Fonz. A charming
adventure, making good use of Yul Brenner, scabs, smegma, and cheese
pizza. It's like a TV Guide to the subconscious. You enjoy reading
the listings...and can't help but wonder just who the hell is
broadcasting."

metaphysical about it, there is simply great music that moves you:
the combination of sounds that represents your state of mind, your

This is what I've been missing!""

et Cetera -- the zine of everything and nothing
"et Cetera is exactly what it says... "and other things" if i'm not
mistaken. it will conduct interviews on random topics (we'll try to
cover EVERYTHING at least once!), have a lot of feedback and have
some creative writing in the second section of the zine with little
nibblets about the artists... it's fun and serious, mundane and
inspired, pointless and focused... all in one. we'll do everything
about nothing and nothing about everything. it is published and
distributed electronically as often as i can (which may not be very
often)."

Factsheet Five / Factsheet Five - Electric
"Factsheet Five is the closest thing to a central clearinghouse of
data about the anarchic, decentralized world of self-published
magazines known as zines. We review over 1,200 zines each quarter
(Yow!) in the print version. The reviews are uploaded to the Net and
combined with reviews from a variety of other publications - such as
Bypass, Second Guess, Fucktooth - and random people around the Net.
We encourage *you* to read zines, produce a zine, and send us your
reviews of zines. The files that comprise F5-E are divided into
various categories (Punk, Grrrlz, Politics, Fringe, Queer, Sex,
etc.) and an issue will be over 2 megabytes in size. Each review
gives you the ordering information for the zine as well as our
opinion of the publication."
Format: ASCII text
Frequency: quarterly (more or less)
Note: Please send zines to just one address. All reviews
from the paper version show up in the electronic

politics, music, art and football -- and serves them up in the

FUNHOUSE! -- The cyberzine of degenerate pop culture
"Dedicated to whatever happens to be on my mind at the time I'm
writing. The focus will tend to be on those aspects of our
fun-filled world which aren't given the attention of the bland
traditional media, or which have been woefully misinterpreted or
misdiagnosed by the same. FUNHOUSE! is basically a happy place, and
thus the only real criteria I will try to meet is to refrain from
rants, personal attacks, and flames -- and thus FUNHOUSE! is an
apolitical place. Offbeat films, music, literature, and experiences
are largely covered, with the one stipulation that articles are
attempted to be detailed and well documented, although this is no
guarantee of completeness or correctness, so that the interested
reader may further pursue something which may spark her interest."

Hi-Rez: Electronic Journal for CyberBeatniks
"we BURN in sticky floored 2 in the morning all night coffee houses
ripe with APOCALYPTIC VISIONS and we rave at dawn in crumbling
1700's farmhouses. we sizzle along the asphalt veins lacing the skin
of the nation together in white high-finned cadillacs driven by
madmen. we modulate the very aether itself with ecstatic rf
emanations from beat loft radio studios. We are the
cyber-beatniks...the DANGEROUS NEW ARTISTS..... the TECHNICIANS OF
ECSTASY and we are all ENMESHED IN THE NET stuck together by the
sweet and sticky text characters that form the dimensional glue of
this here cyberspace......... we do not FIT the stereotypes and
posings of pop subcultures: we are the cyber-beatniks and we are
ALONE in our art theater magic alchemy yet we are TOGETHER here. A
loose fuzzy grouping of mad artists and eccentrics who choose to
SURF THE GREAT THUNDERING ROLLING TUBES OF AWESOME TECHNOLOGY rather
than be consumed by the "post-apocalyptic angst" of it . A group of
vision-seeking edge dwellers who are equally capable of activating
deep woods ancient genetic codices with shaman rattle and drum!! we
are the cyber-beatniks...CYBER-BEATS! and _HI-REZ_ is a journal for
us of ideas, lives.....VISIONS"

CRAM: The Cyberspatial Reality Advancement Movement
In an effort to bring valuable information to the masses, and as a
service to motivated information compilers, a member of CRAM can help
others unfamiliar with Usenet `publish' their documents for
widespread dissemination via the FAQ structure, and act as a
`sponsor' knowledgable in the submissions process. This document is
being distributed under this arrangement.
We have found these compilations tend to appear on various mailing
lists and are valuable enough to deserve wider distribution. If you
know of an existing compilation of Internet information that is not
currently a FAQ, please contact us and we may `sponsor' it. The
benefits to the author include:
- use of the existing FAQ infrastructure for distribution:
- automated mail server service
- FTP archival
- automated posting
- a far wider audience that can improve the quality, accuracy, and
coverage of the document enormously through email feedback
- potential professional inquiries for the use of your document in
other settings, such as newsletters, books, etc.
- with us as your sponsor, we will also take care of the
technicalities in the proper format of the posted version and
updating procedures, leaving you free of the `overhead' to focus on
the basic updates alone
The choice of who we `sponsor' is entirely arbitrary. You always have
the option of handling the submission process yourself. See the FAQ
submission guidelines FAQ in news.answers.
For information, send mail to <ldetweil@csn.org>.
