If any of it is slash, you could donate it to the Foresmutters Project.

Buffy ,'The Killer In Me'
We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

None of it is, which I find interesting in its own way. 35 years of Trek fic, and not a slashy story in it. Seems statistically unlikely, doesn't it?

If I only had a brain...
I look at it as a sociological curiosity more than anything else, since the collection goes all the way back to the first ever Trek zine, produced in 1969. 35 years of fannish history, all in one box; pretty damned cool.
Whoa. I have nooooo fancred. t genuflects

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Is that real? A real thing?

Just a little.
There still might be a place to donate it (and I'm totally not chasing after you, yelling, "preserve the history of fandom!" By all means, auction it off if you like). If you want me to poke around, I can ask Killa.

Totally real. They're trying to preserve the history of K/S slash, which is a pretty historic thing in fandom.
And sorry, didn't mean to turn the thread into Fanfic 101.

Dana, I'm nearly speechless with bliss. What a cool idea.

Thing is, I feel obliged to auction it off somehow, because it was donated to SaveFarscape by an Aussie fan for that purpose. On the other hand, it's such a treasure trove that the best place for it is some sort of cultural history museum or something. I'm a bit boggled about what to do with it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
And yeah, I have a collection of Trek zines that I need to auction off. Gotta figure out how to do that. I look at it as a sociological curiosity more than anything else, since the collection goes all the way back to the first ever Trek zine, produced in 1969. 35 years of fannish history, all in one box; pretty damned cool.
Wow. Maybe you could hold on to that until I get a book deal to document the history of fanfic, and line you, Dana, Shrift and Nutty up as contributing editors.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
Does anyone know anything about the new science fiction museum in Seattle? Are they interested in fannish things? I have some sf fanzines from the '70s that I hate to just toss, but I'm in a major deaccessioning mode.
