Zine
-zine (from English magazine ) is part of many serving as terms of publication forms case words . Typically, the publications are small (less than 1000) and very small (less than 100) editions, produced by amateurs and used for communication within certain groups and subcultures . On its own, zine is used as a synonym for fanzine , a magazine made by fans for fans. The preceding part mostly identifies the fandom or the respective subculture, so there are horrorzines for fans of horror literature , punkzines for fans of punk music and fagzines or queerzines for publications from the gay scene .
More examples of zine forms:
- Apazine , a magazine published by amateurs, especially in the context of amateur journalism, derived from APA for Amateur Press Association
- E-zine , a magazine-style internet portal
- Newszine, a magazine with news about events, new releases, etc. for a specific scene
- PBM-Zine , a collection of evaluations from postal games
- Webzine , a fanzine or e-zine published on the Internet
In the very numerous SF magazines - for example in the price categories of the Hugo Awards - a distinction is made according to the type of production:
- Fanzines are publications made by amateurs and not professional in content and presentation
- Semiprozines are publications produced by amateurs with a professional claim, often indistinguishable from professional publications, but authors usually do not pay a fee
- Prozines are professionally produced and distributed publications; authors are rewarded
