Zine to share!
From the N3F:
As updates, we do need a new Editor for Films Fantastic, failing which it will be merged for the nonce back into Tightbeam. We are also running short of writers for various reasons. In particular, FanActivity Gazette has lost in one fell swoop most of its writers. Please recruit fellow fen who write, whether they are current Neffers or not, as writers.
