I got my copy of Star Wars Aficionado, a British fanzine, today. Wow, I wish I could've produced something this beautiful in the Blue Harvest days! I've heard about this quarterly a couple of years ago but only bothered getting one now. If you're curious about it, there's a YahooGroup with updates here:

There are times when I miss the good old days of fanzines. Sure the internet is faster and much cheaper, but there was something fun about creating something with your hands and holding it in your hands when you're done. I've played around with the idea of releasing a zine collecting my A/P fics next year. I'm aware that many of the zine readers who used to check out my stuff 10 years ago don't know I still write fan fiction. I was surprised to find out that some people thought I had quit writing SW. They didn't know I'd been posting stories online for years. Anyway, I first thought of the idea to give zine readers a chance to see what I'd been up to since 2001 or so, then I realized it could also commemorate 15 years of doing SW fan fic, the 30th anniversary of SW, and five years of writing A/P fic. It'll be expensive (there's a reason why I got out of publishing zines) but I think it would be fun. What do you think?
I finished an A/P drabble today, sort of a naughty one. Look for it soon.
Finally, look where alleged bad dialogue and clunky writing gets you...#68 on the Writers' Guild's list of the 101 Greatest Screenplays:
