John Labovitz's e-zine-list

Last updated: 26 January 1993 by John Labovitz <[email protected]>

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 [email protected].

A notice about new editions of this list is posted to the following
mailing lists:

[email protected]

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:

[email protected]

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
([email protected]).

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
[email protected] 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.

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 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, I
(L. Detweiler) will 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.

I 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 me and I 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 me as your sponsor, I 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

Send comments relating to the *distribution* of this document
(particularly relevant newsgroups not currently covered in
its current distribution) or inquiries on other documents to
<[email protected]>.

The choice of who I `sponsor' is entirely arbitrary. You always
have the option of handling the submission process yourself.
See the FAQ submission guidlines FAQ in news.answers.

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."

CRAM: the Cyberspatial Reality Advancement Movement

In an effort to bring valuable information to the masses, and
as a service to motivated information compilers, I
(L. Detweiler) will 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.

I 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 me and I 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 me as your sponsor, I 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

Send comments relating to the *distribution* of this document
(particularly relevant newsgroups not currently covered in
its current distribution) or inquiries on other documents to
<[email protected]>.

The choice of who I `sponsor' is entirely arbitrary. You always
have the option of handling the submission process yourself.
See the FAQ submission guidlines FAQ in news.answers.
