Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

This collection consists of fanzines from a number of different genre fandoms, assembled by fan writer and editor Celeste Hotaling-Lyons. Included are a number of zines that Hotaling-Lyons herself wrote or edited. Also included are a number of program books and other materials from various science fiction conventions, and a few miscellaneous genre-related items, including books of 'filksongs'. (Filksongs are fan-produced songs, often relating to a specific science fiction- or media fandom-related topic.) Most of the items are pieces of fan fiction. Fan fiction is defined as stories, novellas, novels, or poems written by fans about the characters, situations or general universe of the original work. Several of the zines in this collection are defined as "custom zines". These are special zines consisting of stories and artwork that Hotaling-Lyons found online and assembled/edited into a print publication. She designed these zines as personal gifts for small circles of friends. In many cases, the contents of these zines may no longer exist online, making the custom zines the only remaining source of the stories and art contained therein. The custom zines in this collection are identified by the code 'CZ'. Note on Star Trek: Unless otherwise indicated, all Star Trek zines refer to the original series, originally broadcast from 1966-1969. Fandoms in this collection include: Angel Blade Runner Blake's 7 Buffy the Vampire Slayer Crossover Doctor Who Due South Forever Knight Genzines Heroes Highlander: The Series Sherlock Holmes The Man From U.N.C.L.E. Max Headroom Multimedia The Real Ghostbusters Remington Steele The Road Warrior Robin of Sherwood The Secret Adventures of Jules Verne The SEntinel Smallville Stargate ST-1 Star Trek Star Wars Wizards and Warriors The X-Files
