A Frisky Out of Water is a 95-page slash anthology. Focus: characters out of their usual element.

This issue is digest-sized which the editor mentions: "As you can see, we have gone back to our original digest-sized format. We did this because we can offer you the same amount of great fiction for half the cost of a full-sized zine. And in this time of spiraling fanzine prices, isn't that a refreshing change."

From a flyer: "It's here, it's queer, and it's back to its original format!"

Reactions and Reviews

Cheap and cheerful zine, not worth it just for the Due South, which is good but short, but definitely worth the very low purchase price, again, if you are interested in other fandoms in the zine (I liked the Legend story).
