Announcing... the new Loiteringpalely - all about Pros zines!

Mar 18, 2009 12:09

I've been thinking about Pros zines again lately - well, I'm often thinking about Pros zines... *g* - and chatting about them with various people, and about how difficult they can be to find, especially when you're new to Pros fandom. That was actually why I originally set up the Palelyloitering website - when I was first in Pros the only place to ( Read more... )

Sounds brilliant to me. I have a lot of old printed Pros stories a kind fan gave to me when I was starting out, and I'd be more than willing to pass some of them on now, and maybe swap them for some holes in my collection. So yeah, I'd love this as a resource.

Oh good - and yes! That's exactly what this place should be for! *g* I've sent out a lot of invites, and I shall go and do pimping on the comms now that I'm home, and then hopefully everyone will be see posts as they come up... and you could post with a list! *vbg*

I really must sort out my duplicate stories too... if for no other reason than Nattercon is coming up! *g*

Brilliant idea - wonder what gave you the impetus to start it *eg* I'm sure I have one or two zines/printed copies I'd be happy to swap.

Hey, SWAPSHOP a la PROS! Can I be Keith 'cheggers' Bodie? LOL

byslantedlight March 18 2009, 18:58:11 UTC

Heee! Yeay Swapshop! I actually thought of that exact thing as I was plotting away last night... *g* You can indeed be Cheggers Bodie if you really want...

And hah - one or two things, one or two things... *vbg*

Another one of your brilliant ideas and much needed, I think. Thanks for doing this!

Hopefully it will be useful for people - I really need to post about it in the comms though too! *g* Next on my list today...

VERY good idea! Last year I first started to buy whatever Pros zines I could get and the best place was slashswap so far, but there you have to sort through a lot of offers so a special Pros swap is a wonderful idea. Thank you!

Sorry, I didn`t want the comment to be anonym so here again: VERY good idea! Last year I first started to buy whatever Pros zines I could get and the best place was slashswap so far, but there you have to sort through a lot of offers so a special Pros swap is a wonderful idea. Thank you!

Hee - I wondered who you were! Glad you like the idea - do think about actually joining the comm so that you can post here about things... I actually had hoped that comments would be members only too (again, to stop unscrupulous dealers taking advantage of people offering zines etc at the comm), but that option doesn't seem to be available now - or at least I can't find it... Erk!
