Examples

“It's really easy to start⟳ a genzine. All you need⟳ are a couple of neos with lots of time and enthusiasm; a couple of older fen with experience⟳ and enthusiasm (not to mention⟳ enough fannish contacts to make⟳ up a mailing-list); and a certain amount of mood-enhancers and sheer lunacy to get⟳ you to the point⟳ at which the thing stops being a great idea for Real Soon Now, and starts being a reality. A lot of crudzines are born that way.”

“A fanzine for general circulation in fandom is called a genzine (general interest⟳ fanzine) as opposed to one for an amateur press⟳ association (apa) which is called an apazine.”
