Tidings of Fandom and Joy

[neadods]

Gip!

Except that it's not just a gratuitous icon post, because there is some minimal content.

1) Fic rec: a very bitter/sweet Alan and Sarah Jane story, post "Lost Boy" and "Last of the Time Lords:" In the Quiet Hour. There's someone else now who understands. Someone else who has the same nightmares.

2) While cleaning my room this weekend, I discovered that I have a spare copy of the Christmas edition of The Jelly Baby Chronicles. This is seriously old school - a 1981 fanzine, in the fannish Before Time: before ubiquitous computers, before the Internet, before digital photography and its manipulation. It's 33 pages of Four and Sarah (with one Leela cartoon) in fabulous shape for its age - clean, white pages with no yellowing, and the previous owner even laminated the cover so it's nice and neat.

I'd like to offer it for free* to a new-school fan, as a taste of fandom back in the old days. It's not deep and meaningful (or flawless), but the stories are sweet, and the art is a quality that you just don't get these days, you young whippersnappers with your cameras and your photomanips without a zine as showcase.

Anyone interested?


*Except to an overseas fan, then I am going to ask for help with the postage

Could you or the giftee scan it?

I have one issue of the Jelly Baby chronicles somewhere. A souvenir of my first flirtation with Who fandom.

I'm suddenly wondering if it's the same one but I'm too lazy to dig it out of the closet.

Is that the issue with the Winnie the Pooh crossover?
