Editing Fanzine (section)

====After the year 2000====

In the UK, ''[[Fracture (fanzine)|Fracture]]'' and ''[[Reason To Believe (fanzine)|Reason To Believe]]'' were significant fanzines in the early 2000s, but both ended in late 2003. ''[[Rancid News]]'' filled the gap left by these two zines for a short while. On its tenth issue ''Rancid News'' changed its name to ''[[Last Hours]]'' with 7 issues published under this title before going on hiatus. ''Last Hours'' still operates as a [[webzine]] though with more focus on the anti-authoritarian movement than its original title. ''[[Artcore Fanzine]]'' (established in 1986) continues to this day, recently publishing a number of 30-year anniversary issues. There are many smaller fanzines in existence throughout the UK that focus on punk.

=====Mark Wilkins and Mystic Records=====

Mark Wilkins, the promotion director for 1982 onwards US punk/thrash label [[Mystic Records]], had over 450 US fanzines and 150 foreign fanzines he promoted to regularly. He and Mystic Records owner Doug Moody edited ''The Mystic News Newsletter'' which was published quarterly and went into every promo package to fanzines. Wilkins also published the highly successful Los Angeles punk humor zine ''Wild Times'' and when he ran out of funding for the zine syndicated some of the humorous material to over 100 US fanzines under the name of Mystic Mark.
