Here`s a list of Sci-fi and Fantasy fanzines other than @2MAG.E@1, that

textured paper that doesn't hold the printing too well. Leah says:
"The paper, by the way, is twiltone, and once nearly all fanzines were
printed on it. That is because once nearly all fanzines were
mimeographed, as Stet still is. What the medium lacks in crispness, it
more than makes up for in economy, and I would recommend the process
over photocopying to anyone who can find the equipment."
Zines about one author. "Everyone else sucks!"
