Oh god. I just had the brilliant idea of putting together a Pre-series SPN zine (gen, probably).

Clearly, I must hate myself.

Someone discourage me, quick!

moveablehistory has awesomely compiled A Supernatural Slash Anthology - very cleverly not trying to wrangle new stories out of people, but collecting her favourites and compiling them in a printable format. You can download the Anthology as a PDF to do your own printing (and binding), or purchase it in one volume or two, perfect bound, on cafepress.

AWESOME.

My silly toy rabbit story, All things bright and beautiful, is in there (still can't believe how much people seem to like that one. I mean, honestly. I was kind of almost too ashamed to post it). Which makes me very gleeful.

So anyway, you should all go and tell moveablehistory how clever and awesome she is. YAY FANFICTION BOOKS. I heart them.

(If any of the usual Melb crowd think they might want a cafepress copy of the Anthology, let me know, I'll be doing an order this week.)

Well! It's now been pretty much exactly 18 months since the zine was released. which means the wonderful authors are now allowed to post their zine stories on the intarwebs!



Some zine stats:

• The zine has 24 pieces, including two illustrated drabbles.


• The word count for the entire zine is approximately 111,000.


• The project was first considered on November 4, 2003.


• It was released on August 24, 2004.


• 261 copies of the zine have been sold, the latest on the 25th of January, 2006.


• [Being sold at the base price means no profits were made by creators, but cafepress have collected $3404.64 on zine sales.]

The zine is a collection of stories from a somewhat infamous generation of the lotrips fandom, including authors such as shaenie, mcee, karri, rosemending, _ming, beizy, bunniewabbit, and more. It was coordinated and edited by yours truly.

lotripping is the community created for readers to leave feedback on zine stories. Authors are now welcome to post their stories there. This'll also mean I'll see where you're posting them, and link to them from the Lotripping website (unless you have objections). Please leave feedback for the authors if you read their stories - I can attest to the fact that every single one of them worked very hard on it, and that fact is reflected in the quality of the work.

The zine is still available for purchase, and will be for the forseeable future.


I'll also take this opportunity to say that dombillijah.com, my lotrips fan hosting domain, is still up and running. I also run another hosting domain, oscillating.net, which is multifandom. Despite my personal neglect in updating frontpages and such of late, the quality and content of each of the hostees' sites still remains high. I'm committed to keeping these domains up in order to keep an archive of the wonderful work that's been housed on them, but unfortunately, running websites is not free!

If you're feeling particularly generous and supportive of the hosting cause, I encourage you to donate to the kitty jar for the following sites:






(rsf.com is run by my partner in crime, monkeycrackmary).


But overall, ENJOY. That's what fandom is for.
