End of Year E-Zine Listing
Once again, we find ourselves facing a new jahre and pondering
the untold wonders of the anarchy of cyberspace!
In celebration of this joyous occasion, I've decided to
post a compilation of electronic 'zines for your perusal.
I especially like the reference for Practical Anarchy and will
probably send a copy of this message to our old chum, Larry
"the squid" Detweiler.
Enjoy,
- Spooge

This is a summary of electronically-accessible zines. The format should
be fairly self-explanatory. In most cases, descriptions are excerpted from
the masthead of the zine listed.
[For those of you not acquainted with the zine world, "zine" is short for
either "fanzine" or "magazine," depending on your point of view. Zines are
generally produced by one person or a small group of people, done mostly for
fun, and often irreverent, bizarre, and/or esoteric. Zines are not
"mainstream" publications -- they generally do not contain advertisements
(except, sometimes, advertisements for other zines), do not have a large
subscriber base, and are not produced to make money.]
If you have any additions, deletions, or changes to this list, please email
them to [email protected].
I will post this list (and/or changes to the list) to various mailing lists
and Usenet news groups. It can also be obtained via anonymous FTP from
netcom.com as "/pub/johnl/zines/e-zine-list", and via email (either single
issues or subscriptions) from [email protected].
If you publish an e-zine, or know someone who does, please send a copy to
[email protected] and I'll add the relevant info to this database.
All comments, suggestions, changes, deletions, etc., are welcomed and
encouraged.

Arm The Spirit
"Arm The Spirit is a anti-imperialist/autonomist collective that
disseminates information about liberation struggles in advanced capitalist

struggle and other forms of militant resistance but we do not limit
ourselves to this. In Arm The Spirit you can find news on political
prisoners in North America and Europe, information on the struggles of
Indigenous peoples in the Americas, communiques from guerrilla groups,
debate and discussion on armed struggle and much more. We also attempt

Puerto Rico, Euskadi and elsewhere."

FUNHOUSE! -- The cyberzine of degenerate pop culture
"Dedicated to whatever happens to be on my mind at the time I'm writing.
The focus will tend to be on those aspects of our fun-filled world which
aren't given the attention of the bland traditional media, or which have
been woefully misinterpreted or misdiagnosed by the same. FUNHOUSE! is
basically a happy place, and thus the only real criteria I will try to
meet is to refrain from rants, personal attacks, and flames -- and thus
FUNHOUSE! is an apolitical place. Offbeat films, music, literature, and
experiences are largely covered, with the one stipulation that articles
are attempted to be detailed and well documemnted, although this is no
guarantee of completeness or correctness, so that the interested reader
may further pursue something which may spark her interest."

From IRC to listservs, MUDspace to e-mail, Usenet group to commercial bbs
-- all kinds of voices -- loud and quiet, anonymous and well-known. And yet,
it's far from clear what it might mean to be a "voice" from, or on, the
net. Enter "Voices from the Net": one attempt to sample, explore, the
possibilities (or perils) of net.voices. Worrying away at the question.
