Okay. Sounds like you're talking about printed fanzines then? I was thinking online. I see a lot of really informal fanfics sites where mostly teenage kids post stories inspired by their favorite authors/shows--not the same thing as a serious fanzine.

The really scary sites have not-teenagers. Thirty year old women writing self-insertion slashfic is really, really frightening.

Um, that sentence doesn't sound so good but it's meant innocently.

I was in the pre-internet era. You might ship stories via an email group, but there really weren't sites dedicated to fandom. With all the potential problems that internet fandom could bring, I could see why Anne might have be cracking down harder now. I'd really not explore present day online fandom if what you're saying is true. I'd rather remember things the way they were before the idiots wrecked it.
