Helping Hands - A zine for a friend in need

The best thing about belonging to the Stargate family is that your fellow fans actually do care about you.
Maryanne found this out when she needed that little bit of extra help. One of our most beloved list sibs, Maryanne merely asked for our good wishes, and instead of shrugging it off, her Stargate family rallied to her aid. People offered art, their stories, or their beta skills, and before we knew it, Maryanne’s zine was born. We hope you enjoy the zine complete with wonderful art, and we thank you for supporting our dear friend, Maryanne

This zine includes a massive amount of stories contributed by some of the top authors in Stargate fandom. Stories are gen SG1 unless otherwise noted below, but there are some het and slash in both SG1 and SGA.

JoaG and Devra Numb3rs Gen Zine

While I’ve watched Numb3rs on and off for years, I’ve resisted getting involved in the fandom or reading the stories. I have to admit, these gems by the inimitable JoaG and Devra have launched me into a love of reading the characters as much as watching them. I have long cried ‘I don’t need another fandom’, but hey, maybe I do. I can definitely make room in my fandom heart for the Eppes boys without squeezing out Jack and Daniel. I hope you can too. ;) This volume features 9 Numb3rs tales written by either JoaG or Devra.

Boat, Bourbon, Basement - an NCIS Slash Zine

And now for something else completely different. ;)

This is an NCIS slash zine so don't be peeking around for Jack and Daniel. It's a first for us, to have an entire zine devoted to a fandom other than SG1. The thing the two have in common, it seems to me as an outsider seeing these
stories for the first time is the 'team as family' aspect we all love so well.

As I'm personally a troglodyte with no life and haven't seen this show, Annie is the one upon whom kudos should be bestowed. Annie gathered the stories, harass.er, reminded the artists and authors, alphaed and betaed, and got all the headaches I usually do. I just put it all together and polished it a dab. I'd get on my knees to her if I weren't so old and she weren't a continent or two away. Kudos and many thanks, m'dear. ;)

That Best Portion: A zine for Grant

We've put together a multifandom zine to benefit Susan who faces a situation many of us have faced or will face within our family at some point. Due to her husband, Grant's cancer and treatment (with no insurance to fall back on), this fan and her family face medical bills far above their ability to pay. As many of us know, it's difficult enough dealing with illness without the added stress of knowing bills are piling up and the means to pay them just isn't there. This 2 volume multi-fandom zine includes art and stories from many fandoms including SG1, Dr Who, Torchwood, Starsky & Hutch, and many more.

Create Your Own Zine

Ever want a zine of just that one favorite author? A zine full of HC goodness? A zine of JD romance? Now you can create your own zine using stories from any previously published zine (except the MIA zines, the No One Gets Left Behind zine, and the Showcase zines (except for Scribe Shower series, Jmas, and JayEm zines). Only authors listed on the author page have given permission so for now restrict selections to stories by those writers.

The Alyjude Sentinel Cookbook

All of us who enjoy Alyjude/Sideburns' stories know that she writes with rich detail... much of it centered around food. Be it romantic meals between Jim and Blair, or Jack and Daniel, or 'family' gatherings consisting of the extended families these men have found in their respective universes, good times are generally had by all and the food is always spectacular. Drawing on her own love of cooking, Alyjude has put together her recipes used in her fiction to create a unique cookbook that not only gives us a chance to try these recipes ourselves, but also puts them in context of the stories from which they come. Each recipe is prefaced with snippets of the stories where the food appears and links are included so readers can find them on the web. The majority of the recipes come from the Sentinel universe, but there's also several included from the SG1 universe.

This is a digest sized zine measuring .8" x 5.5", with .5 margins. 124 pages, 22767 words. Art by Alyjude. Download size 1.1 mb.
