John Labovitz's e-zine-list

Last updated: 6 June 1994 by John Labovitz <johnl@ora.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.

Please note that I have changed my email address from johnl@netcom.com 
to johnl@ora.com.  See below for the new location of the e-zine-list.


ADMINISTRIVIA

  alt.zines

World Wide Web at http://www.ora.com:8080/johnl/e-zine-list/, 
and via email from me (johnl@ora.com).

    Online, FidoNet, WWIVNet

  * 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 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.

  marxist theory and it's consequences as well as publish works of
  fiction falling into the bag of 'proletarian literature.' We greatly
  encourage our readers to submit articles covering their views,

Cropduster

 "Cropduster (est. 1992) appears periodically as a reaction to the
  kind of society that some of us live in. 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. What
  else can you expect from people who grew up in trailer parks and
  live on Kraft Dinner?"

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."

  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

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.
