ADMINISTRIVIA
If you have any additions, deletions, or changes to this list, please email
them to jo...@netcom.com.
I will post this list (and/or changes to the list) to the Internet List
<Net_...@gibbs.oit.unc.edu> mailing list and Usenet news groups
alt.zines, alt.etext, alt.internet.services, and rec.mag. It can also be
obtained via anonymous FTP from netcom.com as "/pub/johnl/zines/e-zine-list",
via gopher at gopher.well.sf.ca.us and etext.archive.umich.edu, and via email
from me (jo...@netcom.com).
If you publish an e-zine, or know someone who does, please send a copy to
me and I'll add the relevant info to this database.
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).
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
Only accessible if you are directly on the Internet, or know of an
FTP-mail server (I don't). The host/pathname is given in the form
(host:path) that certain FTPs (like 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).
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.
Usenet -- Usenet News
Only accessible if your site carries the specific Usenet group.
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), Mac Mosaic
(Macintosh), PC Mosaic (PC), Cello (PC), and probably a few others.
Postal
Last resort, or point of contact for zines that have paper editions.
Phone
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.

one calls pop-culture. With various jargon thrown around including:
post-modernism, nihilism, etc. in an attempt for one generation to understand
the next, people forget what the essence of pop-culture really is --
a collection of somewhat useless artifacts which are given exceptional value
by groups of people. What we hope to show is not the trends but rather the
idols of pop-culture. We hope to convey the simplicity of everyday life through
the icons which lead generation upon generation onwards."

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 documemnted, although this is no
guarantee of completeness or correctness, so that the interested reader
may further pursue something which may spark her interest."

Voices from the Net
"There are a lot of folks with at least one foot in this complex region we
call (much too simply) "the net." There are a lot of voices on these wires.
From IRC to listservs, MUDspace to e-mail, Usenet group to commercial bbs
-- all kinds of voices -- loud and quiet, anonymous and well-known. And yet,
it's far from clear what it might mean to be a "voice" from, or on, the
net. Enter "Voices from the Net": one attempt to sample, explore, the
possibilities (or perils) of net.voices. Worrying away at the question.
Running down the meme. Looking/listening, and reporting back to you."

Despite the addition of an explanation of WWW (World Wide Web) as an access
means to zines, I couldn't help but notice that BLINK is the only zine so
accessible right now! I thought about hyper-texting this list, but
it's just going to take too long, and it still won't be a very good way to
browse zine archives, since you mostly see just issue numbers, which tells
us exactly nothing about the contents!
So what I'd like to do is work _with_ other zine editors to create Web
archives... We could at least provide blurbs and an article index; if
you're really into it, we can work in multimedia and other wacky stuff.
There are lots of cool ways this could work... for some references, see how
we laid out the first (and thus far only) BLINK at
http://www.acns.nwu.edu/blink/ -- you might also check out the efforts I
began at hypertexting Pete Ashdown's XDZebra Techno CD reviews...
(http:////www.acns.nwu.edu/xdzebra/) I've petered out before finishing
because he didn't seem real interested in working with me, and I've had
other stuff to do, but what I _have_ done will show you some ways Hypertext
can make your zine more accessible to casual readers who are trying to wade
through the huge amount of information on the net...
So if you're interested, drop me a line, and we can begin working out how
to go about this. Basically, I offer you a hyper-archive site, and
consultation on Hypertext Markup. But I can't promise the time to do all the
markup for you; it's not too hard, just time consuming.
If you're interested, let me know... I look forward to getting a better
handle on the exploding e-zine culture :-)

This is within the scope of the CICNet journal archives, and you will
probably see some effort on our part in the not-so-distant future to
bring WWW support to gopher.cic.net in a meaningful way.
For the time being, however, full support for WAIS searches in
the journal archives is a bigger priority (that will doubtless lead
to much more useful functionality).
I hope to hear more about other independent projects in this respect
as we work toward it ourselves.
