Title: Alarums & Excursions
Post by: Simlasa on March 13, 2010, 12:07:02 AM
I had no idea that A&E was still being published... !!!
I'd just assumed that it had gone the way of most other zines when the internet landed... plus, the cool shop where I got mine is a Phillipino hair salon now.
Man, Lee Gold was a true hero of my youth!

Does anyone here still contribute? What's it like nowadays? Is it still a bunch of different zines (with fanciful names) all tacked together on different colored paper?
I think I'm gonna have to write up something and send it in...

last issue i saw was in 2005 or so. An anniversary issue of some sort. Yeah -- it had all the different colored paper and simply stapled. Very retro.

I knew it was still around but I haven't seen a copy in about five years personaly.

I haven't contributed for, oh, 15 years or so. Not surprised it's still around, though; Lee's persistent.

I wonder why they haven't made the leap to the web?

I was wondering the same thing. It would pretty much be like a blog ring.
Maybe it has something to do with it being kind of a closed discussion... not open to ever wank to do drive-by insults. Most of the people reading it are contributing to it.

On the internet, it'd be just one in the crowd.
