A one-off fanzine/fanthology assembling Jacqueline Lichtenberg Appreciation Society fliers from Seacon '79 and later "broadsheets" (originally "released at tantalizing intervals during Yorcon II, the 1981 UK Eastercon") by various fans (rats?) reportedly including Chris Priest. Subtitled "All the Famous Braodsheets" (sic – much was made of punning misspellings a la Astral Leauge), 20 pages, 50 pence, 225 copies, published by Dave Langford in June 1981 without actually signing his name:

JAKCIE! is not available from the Usual Adress owing to reasons. Any prophets wxll be spent on TaFF althogh the taaF adminxstraters are not responsible. RSVP.

This was later confirmed by Langford as "TAFF fundraiser"; he also noted "When auctioning fannish memorabilia in aid of TAFF in TAFFluvia 2 (August 1985) the fund administrators Patrick and Teresa Nielsen Hayden described the whole lot (plus a couple of unrelated gossip-sheets […]) as "The Offensive British Cretins Stack"." (This was somewhat ironic subheadline followed by "The notorious parody Jakcie Lichtenberg flyer from this year's Lunacon plus the original, you've-got-to-be-kidding, really-for-real flyer which inspired it. (...) All guaranteed insulting, foul-mouthed, and funnier than most erotic encounters with a Brian Burgess meat pie." See: PDF, HTML

Langford re-published the entire contents of Jackie! in an improved text form, with much supplementary material, context explanations, responses and reports within The Astral Leauge Dossier (2019).
