MidFanzine #1: First Steps
MidFanzine1_fall2002.pdf (5 Mb)
We have finished MidFanzine #1, which is our first Fall Edition, focused on conrunning (see the Contents list, below). Many subscribers received their copy by hand, most of them at Windycon. If you did not receive yours that way, it is due to hit the mail by mid-December. Many thanks to Eloise Beltz-Decker, our Layout Editor, for getting this together and printed in time for that personal distribution. The next Fall MidFanzine is due out in September, 2003, and will again be targeting the back end of this conrunning business.
