[[Mundane]] self-published magazines, once called "little magazines," that come out of the ''[[Factsheet Five]]'' phenomenon are now called ''zines'' or ''zeens''. The difference between a [[fanzine]] and one of these may not be easily distinguishable, given that [[sf]] [[fanzines]] don't need to be about [[sf]] or [[fandom]], but has to do with the publisher's sense of being part of [[fandom]]. Spelled ''zeen'', it almost always refers to a [[mundane]] publication. (However, [[Earl Evers]] used ''[[zEEn]]'' as the title for his [[sf]] [[fanzine]]; the title emphasized his initials.)
