Originally Posted By DlandDug Oh, no. Paul got through his illness just fine. Then he and the missus had a baby that was keeping him from the magazine. The child should be in school by now, though, leaving afternoons free to, you know, edit that magazine. Paul? PAUL!?!
Originally Posted By SFH Clearly, publishing a fanzine is very difficult. I won't go into all of the various fanzines that have come and gone over the years. Name one major fanzine that has consistently maintained a regular, frequent (as in quarterly or more often) publishing schedule. LP Magazine is still new. And now, with podcasts, vidcasts, blogs, fan DVDs, etc. - it is even harder to publish a fanzine that people will buy. By the time you're ready to print, much of the same stuff is already out there.

Originally Posted By hopemax Well, my Dad talked to Jim Korkis at the NFFC dinner tonight at the Florida convention, and the subject of Paul Anderson came up. Jim said, he's not talking to anyone and is very, very sick. I know, not a lot of info.
Originally Posted By danyoung >Name one major fanzine that has consistently maintained a regular, frequent (as in quarterly or more often) publishing schedule.< Well, the E Ticket has done pretty good. They don't really promise to keep a regular schedule. I think the official line is 3 or 4 issues a year. And one of the 2 brothers behind the mag died a few years ago, so that screwed things up. But overall I've been pretty happy with their output. And I really loved POV, and am sorry that Mr. Anderson is not doing well.

It used to be 4 a year, but after Leon died, Jack said he would try to get 2 out per year, and I think he's been successful at keeping that pace.
