(Did you mean fanzines by Ted Pauls, Roger Sheppard, or David Wingrove?)
A fannish term for unwanted household junk which just seems to accumulate. The story goes that after someone told the old joke Q: "Do you like Kipling?" A: "I don't know, I've never kippled," Terry Carr was asked what "kipple" was and replied that it was household junk and piles up. It caught on. Note that this has nothing to do with collecting, a noble fannish pursuit.
