See the bottom for more information, including instructions on how to obtain updates.) === John Labovitz's e-zine-list Last updated: 26 January 1993 by John Labovitz <johnl@netcom.com> This is a summary of electronically-accessible zines -- what they are, who puts them out, and where you can find them. In most cases, descriptions are excerpted from the masthead of the zine listed. RECENT CHANGES TO THIS LIST There have been many, many changes in the last couple of months since the last edition of the list. This section will reappear in the next edition. Probably the biggest change is that there is now a hypertext version of this list, available over the World Wide Web using a suitable browser (see below for details). All FTP, Gopher, USENET, WWW, and WAIS links should connect to the appropriate place. There are probably a few mistakes; if you find a link that doesn't work, please let me know. The other change, hopefully invisible, is that all versions are generated from a format-dependent source, and run through a program that creates either the ASCII text or HTML versions. This may still be buggy; again, let me know if you find any problems. ADMINISTRIVIA If you have any additions, deletions, or changes to this list, please email them to johnl@netcom.com. A notice about new editions of this list is posted to the following mailing lists: ZINES-L@uriacc.uri.edu The full ASCII text version is automatically posted every 3 weeks (thanks to Larry Detweiler) to the following USENET newsgroups: alt.zines alt.etext misc.writing rec.mag alt.internet.services alt.answers misc.answers rec.answers news.answers And the following mailing lists: WRITERS@VM1.NODAK.EDU It can also be obtained via anonymous FTP from netcom.com in "/pub/johnl/zines" as "e-zine-list" (ASCII text version) or "e-zine-list.html" (HTML version), via gopher at gopher.well.sf.ca.us and etext.archive.umich.edu, via the World Wide Web at "file://netcom.com/pub/johnl/zines", and via email from me (johnl@netcom.com). If you publish an e-zine, or know someone who does, send a copy to me and I'll add the relevant info to this database. Please include as much of the information below as appropriate: * name of e-zine * brief description (10 lines or less) * editor name(s) and email addresses * format (ASCII text is the default) * frequency * archive sites, including gopher, FTP, WWW, and WAIS * email address for subscribing (if other than editor(s)'s addresses) * Usenet newsgroups you post the zine to * other BBSs and online systems, including Compuserve, America Online, FidoNet, WWIVNet * voice phone, fax, postal address, if you want * ISSN number Comments, suggestions, changes, deletions, etc., are welcomed and encouraged. WHAT IS A "ZINE"? 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), do not have a large subscriber base, and are generally not produced to make a profit. FORMATS Most e-zines listed here are in standard ASCII text format, which you can read on just about any computer or terminal, and print on any printer. A few are available in PostScript for printing on a laser printer (or viewing on-screen if you have a PostScript interpreter in your window system). A small number are available in some system-specific format (i.e., Macintosh HyperCard). More and more are becoming available in HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) on the World Wide Web. HOW DO I GET THE E-ZINES? I have listed the various methods of access for each particular e-zine. Briefly, I use the following: FTP -- File Transfer Protocol The host/pathname is given in the form "host:path" that certain FTP clients (such as NCFTP) can use directly; otherwise, you'd probably type "ftp host" and then "cd path" or some such. All FTP sites listed accept anonymous logins (use "ftp" as username and your email address as password). If you are not directly on the Internet, you can use an FTP-mail server to get files. Perhaps the most widely known public FTP-mail server is located at decwrl.dec.com (send the message "help" to ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com for more information). (Thanks to John Reeves for supplying this missing information.) Gopher Only accessible if your site is directly on the Internet. Try typing "gopher". If it works, you have a gopher client, and can usually type "gopher host". WWW -- World Wide Web Only accessible if your site is directly on the Internet, and supports a WWW-compatible hypertext browser. Current browsers include www (ASCII line mode), lynx (ASCII full-screen mode), xmosaic (X Windows), tkWWW (X Windows), Mac Mosaic (Macintosh), PC Mosaic (PC), Cello (PC), and probably a few others. Usenet -- Usenet News Only accessible if your site carries the specific Usenet group. E-Mail -- Electronic Mail You can usually request current or back issues via this address. Sometimes a site will run a mail server that automates some of this work. Instructions are listed, if applicable. Postal Last resort, or point of contact for zines that have paper editions. Phone/Fax Why? I dunno; because it was there. CompuServe You know, that out-dated system that charges ridiculous rates. Other BBSes and other on-line systems the zine resides on. SYSTEMS ARCHIVING E-ZINES The following are sites that archive e-zines. Many of them are primary archive points for e-zines in this list.
