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.

Cropduster "Cropduster revolves, as perhaps everything does, around the substance that 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."
