Editing Zine (section)

== ''Factsheet Five'' ==
During the 1980s and onwards, ''[[Factsheet Five]]'' (the name came from a short story by [[John Brunner (novelist)|John Brunner]]), originally published by [[Mike Gunderloy]] and now defunct, catalogued and reviewed any zine or small press creation sent to it, along with their mailing addresses. In doing so, it formed a networking point for zine creators and readers (often the same people). The concept of ''zine'' as an art form distinct from ''fanzine'', and of the "zinesters" as member of their own subculture, had emerged. Zines of this era ranged from perzines of all varieties to those that covered an assortment of different and obscure topics. Genres reviewed by Factsheet Five included quirky, medley, fringe, music, punk, grrrlz, personal, science fiction, food, humour, spirituality, politics, queer, arts & letters, comix.<ref name=":3" />
