fanzine
- /ˈfænˌziːn/
Where it comes from
Blend of fan + magazine. Coined by American chess player and SF fandom founder Russ Chauvenet in the October 1940 edition of his own science fiction fanzine Detours, to replace the earlier fanmag.
noun fanzines
- A magazine, normally produced by amateurs, intended for people who share a common interest. I don't know how many fanzines there've been, but surely no fewer than 500 different items, some running for one issue and some for several dozen.
