Last I heard she was mailing them out late this week.

Well, how's the magazine?

haven't gotten it yet.

barb emailed me and said that she is working on the dvd's to ship out with the fanzines today and tomorrow. so we should probably get them by the end of the week or the beginning of next week. i'll let you know what else she says. barb said mine will be mailed this week.

Oh cool! Can't wait to get it! COME ON BARB! LOLOL :xoxo:

did you order one too?

Hey Kathy..

I'm not sure if you were talking to me or not, but yes, I did order one! I'm hoping we get them soon!!

Yeah, I so can't wait for this fanzine.....this should be awesome....I recall getting some of my old fanzine back in the day (way before the Net and all)...that was really the only way we found out any Stevie news at all....which of course by than it was outdated really. I love all the stories and pictures....I'd look at them for hours....the Rumours/Silver Springs/Dreams/and Belle Fleur/Mirror, Mirror....maybe others....still have them all....though I'm missing some Dreams copies and I think a couple early Mirror,Mirror ones too......there so awesome....you'll love them.....Thanks Barb........can't wait.....:blob2::D

Hey guys,
I am finishing up the free DVD that comes with the fanzine, so I can package everything up and ship it out!
I am shipping them out in the order of date ordered, so some are going out this week, and some next week, but they will ALL be out by the end of next week for sure, even new orders placed this week!
The cover is SO beautiful, I wish I could post it, but I want the issue to be a total surprise when you open it up, so you go "WOW" so I won't, LOL.

We are also going to be advertised in the Black Night Fanzine, which, if you haven't seen it, is GORGEOUS! It is worldwide, and a lot of Candace's fans are big fans of Stevie, too, and I am honoured to be associated with them.

Here is the link to their "MySpace":

Kathy and Sue, look for your fanzines soon, girls! :)
A true "Flashback" to the days....

Hi Barb: Thanks I sooo can't wait for this....I loved those old fanzines....did you think you'd like ever get it done?.....It's probably cool to know you help create it right......Thanks Barb...I already can't wait for the next issue.......I'm excited can't ya tell.......:thumbsup::wavey:

Well, at first I wasn't going to do it, months ago, but so many people seemed so excited, a lot that hadn't been around in our old fanzine days, like us old timers, LOL! It is so much fun to get something in the "real"
mail (just ask my eBay sellers, haha)...and I love looking forward to something Stevie coming in the mail, for sure!
I hope you love it!

Barbara

I hear ya Barb, I'm sure I'll love it....since I am one of those old timers....of course there's one's older than me too. I'm thankful that you changed your mind and did it.....I love my old fanzine's even though I haven't looked them over in awhile...there awesome. I see others sell them on ebay all the time....and they go pretty high too.......Thanks Barb, I'll let you know when mine arrives for sure.......thanks for all your hard work.......:thumbsup:

I'm excited to see the fanzine, too. Just think, Barb...you've created a "collector's item"!!! I think the association with the Black Night fanzine is very cool, and a good way to find more Stevie fans.

I know, that is pretty cool!
I can't wait till you get it, I hope you love it, too!

i'll let you know when i get mine.

I might be a little behind here, but how do you order one? I've been really busy and haven't been online much, but I would love to order a copy.

Thanks, guys!
I am finishing up the DVD gifts this weekend, so ALL the issues and gifts will be shipping out next week!!
Hope everyone enjoys them!!!

Barbara

i can't wait til mine comes. i know i will love it.

Oh wow, thanks to school and work I'm so "out of the loop"....this is the first time I've heard of the "fanzine." This is too cool....I'm going to order mine soon...after I call my friends and tell them about this....they're going to flip. :D

Great!

I know I used to always love getting my fanzines back in the 90s, getting excited about seeing the colour cover, or even making "pen pals"...they had those back in the old days, where you actually wrote LETTERS to other Stevie fans :) That is how I met Sue, "Crystal Mirror" and another friend of mine in the UK. Some pen pals are online now!
I hope everyone will want to contribute something after issue one, a story, or a review, or a profile/photo. Everything can be submitted via eMail or snail mail.

Thanks for telling your friends about it!

Barbara

I have some questions about your fanzine Barb.


Is it completely made up of "submissions" from fans or is there other professional pics included? I know you know Herbert, so I was curious if he gave you the ok to use any of his stuff in the fanzine.

Did you have to get an ok from stevie or someone in her camp?

Does calling a DVD full of stevie videos a "gift" make it legally ok to use them as an incentive to buy your fanzine? Even if they are just recorded off of tv as opposed to taken off of the commercially available dvd (that stevie has been on the road selling and promoting) that has many of the same vids?

I am worried you are opening yourself up to some legal action is all.

Hi!
The only contact from Stevie's management that I am able to reach about the fanzine WAS contacted, and I was able to run the idea by him, and it didn't seem to be a problem at all.
As far as the DVD, it is all videos recorded from the tv, not from her released DVD, and it is a gift, as clearly stated on the site, so basically it is the same thing as one fan trading a DVD of the same videos to another fan, what you are paying for is the Fanzine itself.
Issue one is mostly articles and photos (used by permission from various photographers, who are credited in the back of the issue), plus some fan input. I actually would LOVE more fan input for issue 2!
Thanks for your concern, I really do appreciate that, but I think we have it covered with all the possible problems, and if anyone from her camp wishes to contact me, I have all the records of sales,
and information,so I am happy to comply with them :)
Barbara

I love your sig. Its awesome.

Thank! I think I wrote here before that I didn't actualy make it. I'm not sure who did. Whomever it was, I thank you and think it's very beautiful.

A friend of mine is the one who made the banner. Angie. I don't think she posts here anymore but she probably still reads.

Well then I hope she knows how much I love her banner. And I hope that she's okay with me using it. If not, just let me know and I can switch it. I just thought it was so cool.

I think it is a really cool banner, too, your friend did a great job!

I hate to be negative about other people's earnest attempts at contributing to the mystique, but a lot of the fanzines I've seen over the years have been stupid (virtually content-free) & shoddy (in craftsmanship). But Mike Bise delivered the goods in the mid 1990s with three excellent issues of Mirror Mirror. His opinions were thoughtful & sharp & expressed with clarity & style, & his design work was well above the Stevie fanzine timbre. He wrote articles on, inter alia, official & underground videos, demo timelines & analyses, karate lessons for the band, & the Lifetime Network concert-in-the-works for Stevie.

Mike did an EXCELLENT Job after he took over for the Enchantress (whatever happened to her?) with Mirror Mirror. It was a beautiful fanzine, truly.

is there any way we can get a fanzine, this or another, online? it may help with keeping costs down too. get one version finalized and then scan in at high resolution...just a thought.

I am sure someone will scan and post it, LOL, since it is a lot of text tho, that probably won't look very nice that way. I am presenting this with a ring binding, like a journal, with a full colour front and back, I am doing this as a throwback to the original fabulous fanzine days, so that is why I am not doing it online/downloads, that would ruin the fun of running to your mailbox! :] I want to mail people something real, that they can keep, rather than having to print it, and take it to a binder, etc. I do it all for them :)
