Fanzine Round-Up

2022-04-22 Cathy Palmer-Lister

More fanzines to share, enjoy!

From R-Laurraine Tutihasi in Arizona, PurrMew86

is always an enjoyable read. First thing I look for is the critter cam pictures and of course, Mike’s astronomy shots. This issue of Purrmews has a photo of his observatory dome.

Lots of Fanzines to share!

Many fanzines to share this week. Two Canadian, one from Israel, two American.

I always enjoy Purrmews for the pictures of the animals and the fabulous astro photos.

We have received the latest Purrmews from editor R-Laurraine Tutihasi.

Her husband Mike takes excellent astro photos, and they have cameras set up to take pictures of the local wildlife. They live in Arizona, so wonderful to see the “critters”.

Lots of Zines to share!

2021-01-25 Cathy Palmer-Lister

Quite a few zines have arrived from Guy Lillian, N3F, and R-Laurraine Tutihasi.

First up, Spartacus from Guy. Guy is from Florida, lots of news on the American political scene and Covid situation in his area. I found it very interesting that he and Rosie have had their shots already. Who knows when they’ll get around to us?

Download Spartacus.

From Laurraine Tutihasi, Purrsonal Mewsings. Cover illo by Taral Wayne has a real cool centaur lady. What I like about this zine are the pictures and descriptions of animals we don’t see around these parts, like the cactus wren. Laurraine is now growing fruit trees in cages–oranges, persimmons, as well as apples and pears. Her husband is a very good astrophotographer and I always enjoy seeing his photos.

Fanzines to share, nominating fanzine eds for Hugos.

2019-02-24 Cathy Palmer-Lister

I have some fanzines to share a bit of fanzine news.

First, these zines arrived in my mailbox while I was re-installing Windows, all my programmes, etc. Time to catch up on fan reading!

This was posted on File 770, for the benefit of members of the Dublin World Con who will be nominating/voting for the Hugos.

It caught my eye because of course Lloyd Penney is well know to Montreal area fans and writes LoCs regularly for WARP.

Lloyd Penney Lends a Hand

Posted on February 23, 2019 by Mike Glyer

By John Hertz: Trying to catch up with your fanzine reading, for Hugo Awards nomination or otherwise?

Lloyd Penney, who sees lots of fanzines and sends letters of comment widely, made a chart of fanzines he saw and locced (as we sometimes say) in 2018, and sent it to the 2019 administrator of the Fannish Activity Achievement (FAAn) Awards. You can see it at p. 3 of this year’s Instructions, which you can find here (PDF). Many fanzines he notes are available electronically. The FAAn Awards are managed (if that word may be used) by the annual fanziners’ convention Corflu; the Instructions have various reference-jokes and like that.

A number of fanzines have landed in our mailbox. Download and enjoy!

PurrMew63 is a perzine edited by R-Laurraine Tutihasi. Her zine generally features some wonderful photography from Mike Weasner, who is probably her husband. In this issue great shots of a hawk and of course, their cats. Mike has lots of telescopes, I am so envious, and his astrophotography is amazing. Check out his photo of the Orion Nebula Orion nebula taken with his Nikon D850 DSLR camera through his 12” telescope. It’s on page 7.

From British Columbia BCSFAzine 530 , edited by Felicity Walker. Ignore the date, Felicity is determined to catch up on missed deadlines.

Years ago, we exchanged zines with Probe the zine of the SFF club in South Africa, but then we lost touch. Glad to hear from them again. Probe 176 features great cover art and a couple of short stories.

The National Fantasy Fan Federation has sent us their own zine, TIGHTBEAM 287 which also has amazing cover art. Quite a few book reports, interesting articles – one on Roswell which will interest quite a few MonSFFen– a short story. movie reviews, and reviews of a couple of fanzines.

The NF3 also shares zines from various clubs and editors. Mt Void from the Mt. Holz Science Fiction Society is edited by Mark and Evelyn Leeper. Table of Contents for MT VOID 2020.:
