the Wilde Wood

This page has a list of various online and printed fanzines, magazines, webzines, ezines. The current status of many of these zines is unknown. Dates are included where available to show when some definately were active, date ranges should not be taken as first to last issues - just because the most recent issue I know of is a few years old, doesn't mean they aren't still being published. This is especially true of foreign (non-UK) zines. All zines are written in English unless otherwise stated, though I may clarify with some (such as an European zine which is nevertheless written in English).

Printed

The lines between fanzines and magazines can sometimes get a little blurred, so they're all going in together. Some of these are photocopied in black and white while others are professionally printed in glossy colour, they range in size and shape from A5 to tabloid newspaper, no doubt some are credit card sized (though none I've seen yet). Some give away CDs with every issue, others have little furry hearts stuck to the front - there's a full range, basically.
For the time being I'm going to include descriptions of size with 'normal magazine' (about A4) 'normal fanzine' (about A5) and 'tabloid' (newspaper style). Assuming there are proper terms for all of this I shall have a look some time (but not today) and update as appropraite when I find out. Note to self: put descriptions of proper terms up here when I find them out :)
p.s. if I've said it's based in a certain city that doesn't mean it deals exclusively with the scene in that city - it's simply where their main office / back bedroom is.
Delivery charges included are for local delivery (not international) unless otherwise stated. Money sent by post should be well-wrapped (can't trust anyone these days).
