MidFanzine

MidFanzine #3: I've read about a con in the zine with no name.

MidFanzine #3, not yet subtitled, is now looking for submissions. As promised in MidFanzine #1: First Steps, we're returning to the conrunning theme.

Submissions are again welcome, and should be sent via email to editor@midfan.org. Submissions are due 10-September-2003, and since MidFazine #2 slipped a bit, we don't have any grace time for #3. Be prompt, so we can have a shot at having #3 out by Midwest Construction 2.

MidFanzine #2: Explorations

Midfanzine #2: Explorations, has come to life. Being the Spring Edition, it isn't as focused on convention running.

MidFanzine #1: First Steps

We have finished MidFanzine #1, which is our first Fall Edition, focused on conrunning (see the Contents list, below). Many subscribers received their copy by hand, most of them at Windycon. If you did not receive yours that way, it is due to hit the mail by mid-December. Many thanks to Eloise Beltz-Decker, our Layout Editor, for getting this together and printed in time for that personal distribution. The next Fall MidFanzine is due out in September, 2003, and will again be targeting the back end of this conrunning business.
