    “Successful people are always looking for opportunities to help others. Unsuccessful people are always asking, 'What's in it for me?'” Brian Tracy (American television host)

    That is one of my new favorite quotes.

    Fanzines galore: 1,600+ fanzines added to Fan History
    This is a cross post from Fan History's blog.

    ROFLCOPTER (purpose) flew on in an created roughly 1,600 articles about fanzines on Fan History. These fanzines represent a number of different communities including soccer, rugby, Rat Patrol, Star Wars, science fiction, Bon Jovi and punk.

    This brings the total number of articles we have about fanzines on Fan History to over 2,000. This makes Fan History one of the largest sources of information about Fanzines on the Internet. We're very excited about that because we love fanzines. Heck, a lot of our early information on the wiki was about fanzines. Why do we love fanzines? Because fanzines give us a peek into fandom's past, before the Internet was around. They were part of a subculture, an underground culture which helped people connect to part of a larger community that might otherwise not be as accessible. Fanzines provide a record of our history that we can touch. And they are a tradition that continues even now...

    When we created these articles, we tried to have some basic information. This included title, fandom, the year the fanzine was published, who the publisher was and the source for this information. As a result, our articles aren't very comprehensive. That's really where we need your help. If you know these fandoms and fanzines, please help edit to improve that information to improve on our fanzine stubs. What awards did these zines win? What was their impact on the fan community? Was the zine the first one that appeared in that fan community? Where was it published? What was the size and what was the content? What happened to the fans who produced the zine? Do you have a copy of the zine? Any information you can add would be appreciated.

    And if you know of a fanzine that isn't represented but want to put it on the wiki, copy and paste our fanzine template to your new article, add your information and save the page. If you need any help formatting or creating a new article, let me or another admin know as we'll happily help you with that.

    Scott Brown on Sherlock Holmes, Obsessed Nerds, and Fan Fiction
    Fan History got linked to in an article about the history of fan fiction on Wired.com. It took me a few days of seeing that referrer before I finally checked it out but it falls into the realms of pretty damned cool. :D

    Go read the article. It is an interesting piece about Sherlock Holmes fandom. :D
