Apaplexy is an apa published every six weeks.

The Ottawa-based general-interest apa was started by Farrell McGovern and Marc “The Starwolf” Gerin-Lajoie in 1984. While the majority of the membership has been from Ottawa, it has had members from several other cities in Canada, as well as from the United States and one from Brazil. It was spun off from TAPA when Starwolf franked a flyer by McGovern in the March 1984 issue of TAPA calling for people interested in forming a new Ottawa-based local apa.

The OE, called the Central Mailer, is Sheila Brown of Ottawa, ON. As of 2019, it had about 20 members and is still active in 2024 with a dozen members.
