Update: April 15, 2013: The bulk of the fanzine information has been moved to Fanlore, the fan run wiki. You can access Fanlore's home page here.
_____________________________________
If you're looking for a list of fanzines by fandom, this is what I have so far:

Place of Honor:  Starsky & Hutch. Pepper has compiled the most amazing and complete fanzine listing. Mahvelous. Go here

1. Alphabetical listing
A-Team - list here (last updated in 1997) and here
Beauty & the Beast here and here
Buffy and Angel
Blake's 7  - Judith has an extensive list here
Dr Who - partial lists available here and here and here
Due South -Ray Vecchio Fanzines and  Ray Kowalski Fanzines
Inspector Morse here
The Magnificent 7 here
The Man From U.N.C.L.E - slash fanzines here, gen and slash fanzines here
The Professionals -The Hatstand  and Palely Loitering (with their own LJ here)
Quantum Leap - old list, needs updating
Rat Patrol - Excel spreadsheet here
Real Ghostbusters - here (defunct, last updated 2002). A more current list is here
Robin of Sherwood here
Seaquest here and here
The Sentinel - Loft Library -Slash Zines and Gen Zines
Smallville here
Shadow Chasers here (old archive)
Sherlock Holmes here
Stargate SG1 - old list here
Starsky & Hutch - Pepper's Amazing List With Every Possible Combination Except Pepperoni
Star Trek   - K/S Slash Zines and Star Trek Zinedex (gen/het/slash). An index of stories published in fanzines by title and author can be downloaded from the KirkSpockCentral mailing list (membership required).
Star Wars - Star Wars Collector's Bible (older list archived here)
Supernatural - here
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea here
Xena/Hercules - partial list here

2. Multi-Fandom Lists

Ming's Fanzine Archives (Star Trek, Star Wars & other Fandoms - click on the pdfs for the list)
Fandom Wikis - FanLore and Fan History

3. What To Do With That Aging Fanzine Collection?  If you don't  want to sell your fanzines on eBay or at a convention, the  Fan Culture Preservation Project  will help fans find homes for their fanzine collections - either at the University of Iowa or  via fellow fans.  More here and  here.

What I like about the Fan Culture Project is that the University will pay for shipping and loading of the zines.  I have several friends whose health has declined, don't want to sell their collection, but want to find their fanzines a good home.

Other places to buy/sell your fanzines: the Zinelist Announcements List, its sister discussion mailing list  Zinelist or the SlashSwap mailing list. You can offer your fanzines on LJ at Fandom Swap.     Jim and Melody Rondeau will also agent your fanzines online and at conventions for a small commission. As a last resort head over to eBay but beware you may be charged 2-3x more than you would buying from fannish sources.

For new zines/in print zines only:  The Zine listing communities - one here on Dreamwidth and the mirror here on LJ. Melody Clark has started MediaFen, a fanzine listing blog. The RSS feed for LJ users is here. The direct blog link is here.

If you're trying to track down a fanzine producer whose website has moved or gone away, try using the Wayback Machine.  Ex:  The Zine Zone (last updated in 2003) is archived here.

4. Any other lists? Drop a note. And feel free to link here, as I'll update it.

Highlander - some zines listed on Fanlore

ebooks posted: DeDRM Plugin/DeDRM_tools v.10.0.2

Please visit the link for the full message

"Some news for people who like to de-DRM their ebook purchases:

Apprentice Alf's DeDRM Plugin is no longer being maintained. Apprentice Harper, who took over a few years ago, has also dropped the project.

A fork of Alf's DeDRM Plugin is now hosted here on GitHub by noDRM. It's currently on version 10.0.2 and should be compatible with Calibre 5.x.x. If you have the old DeDRM Plugin installed, your settings should carry over into the new one, once it's installed"

kat_lair posted: Single All The Way

Okay, folks, I watched Single All The Way, which is essentially Christmas fluff slash fic on screen. I watched it twice. Tags include: friends to lovers, oh my god they were roommates, fake boyfriends but only briefly, meddling family, the nieces ship it, blind date, Christmas fluff, amateur modelling, pining, there was only one bed, plants, children’s author. I would bet Any Money that the writer has scrolled through the m/m Christmas tag on AO3 for inspiration.

WorldCon is also looking for online volunteers to help with the virtual event track:

As a heads up, signing up for 12+ hours of volunteering over the course of the weekend will get you a virtual pass to the convention as well as an unpublished novel from Mary Robinette Kowal.

When antis try to "clean up" fandom, do they realize they're advocating for the corporatization of fandom spaces? Do they realize they're asking for fandom to be monitored and moralized to the same degree as children's cartoons?

Do these antis really think THEY'LL be the ones to decide what gets censored, once they win the purity war? Newsflash: Some faraway cishet white exec will make those decisions from a corporate office somewhere. Why do you want sterilized corporate oversight so badly?

It's a GIFT to have such an untamed queer space. Cries for the purification of fandom will lead to regulation from corporate groups like Apple and their robots—and queerness WILL go out the window with the "bad ships" and nsfw art.

elf posted: Quis impeditur: Who is hindered?

Recently, Fanlore committee, volunteers, and the public have been discussing a photography policy; one of the issues is how to address privacy concerns when uploading photos. Blurring faces was suggested in the public discussions, and several people pointed out that there are free apps for smartphones and computers that can be used, and these are so easy to use that there's no reason not to require blurring. I disagree.

I'm going to use this example to touch on the wider topic of Fanlore accessibility and fannish accessibility in general.
