Prolapse (often bearing the slogan The Time-Travelling Fanzine!) was a fanzine devoted to British fan history published by Peter Weston. Its first two issues appeared in 1983. It restarting in 2006. Issue 13 showed the title Prolapse fading into Relapse in a conscious echo of Astounding's transition to Analog, and from 14 the title continued as Relapse maintaining the numbering sequence.
It won a Nova Award for best fanzine in 2007 and 2008.
