"touched" was a slash, gen and femslash multifandom letterzine published in the U.K.

It was more overtly political and lesbian than usual for zines of that era. The publication was also known for being copylefted (free to copy) at a time when zine editors frequently inveighed against zine piracy. There was no charge for the first three issues; in the editorial for issue #3, it was requested that folks pay some "filthy lucre" for future issues.

"touched" has a sister zine which ran for two issues called The Unique Touch.
