It's good to be back. Looking forward to your posts on the tour. Michael, fanzines also dealt with specific genres, though there were world/setting-specific zines as well. If Mindflights offered more in the way of compensation, say 3-5 cents per word, I might be willing to think of them more in terms of a magazine than a zine.

Heald Tue, 20 May 2008 11:31:22 +0000 http://www.pensandswords.com/?p=437#comment-15210 Hello! I think of Mindflights more like the small press magaznes of the 1970s and 1980s rather than as a fanzine. I associate a fanzine with a particular story or world, like a Star Trek fanzine. While that is fine for the folks who want to read stories in that niche, in does limit the kind of material that a fanzine can publish. I enjoyed Aboriginal Science Fiction in the 1990s and I often enjoy small press magazines, whether web-based or print, more than the "biggies." Best regards. Michael A. Heald Hello!
