Active Fanzines 2019

Garth Spencer compiled this list of fanzines he was aware were active in 2019.

What follows is an (unfortunately incomplete) list of such current fanzines as I can verify, drawn from my emails, and from eFanzines.com. Other fanzines may not have appeared in 2018, for all I know.

Two or three things to note: these are all English-language fanzines (I no longer have any information about French-language fanzines, from Quebec or from anywhere else, and have never gotten a word about Spanish-language fanzines); the great majority are from North America, especially the United States; and since the rise of the Internet, a great many are now produced and distributed online.

• Alexiad, Lisa & Joseph Major
• Amanita, Cyril Simsa
• Archive, Arthur D. Hlavaty, available from hlavaty@panix.com, https://supergee.dreamwidth.org/, or http://www.maroney.org/hlavaty/. Collecting historical excerpts of Arthur Hlavaty’s classic smartassery. My kind of belly laughs.
• Askance, John Purcell
• Askew, John Purcell
• Ayatochtl, Bob Hole
• BCSFAzine, Felicity Walker. Monthly newsletter of the British Columbia Science Fiction Association, a social organization. For reasons that escape me although Felicity explained them a couple of times, BCSFAzine is numbered about 14 months behind its actual production date, so much of the news is, um, “olds”. The main distinction this issue is a review of the latest VCON (Vancouver’s general-interest SF convention in the fall).
