About

In 1994, the publisher posted the following to Of Love and Hope:

After watching the pilot and a few episodes after I was hooked. I found a close friend who was equally as taken with the fairy-tale. Together we decided to start a fanzine for the show since there was absolutely none to be found at the show's first beginnings. We decided to make a different kind of zine that we wanted but never really have seen before. We called it a "multi-zine" because it contained news on the show (as it progressed), artwork, fiction, puzzles, listings for merchandise, episode guides, episode compendiums, star interviews with those working on and involved with the show and clippings from around the world about the show, and letters-of-comment. The title was a favorite of Roy Dotrice, we called our zine "CONDOS AND CAVERNS". We printed for over 2 years on a quarterly basis. We had to end the zine due to lack of funds, declining memberships (after the 3rd season caused a split amongst fandom) and submission involvement.

From the editor: "Many things have happened since our last issue. The news of course being that the show has been put on hiatus and will return as early as January as a mid-season replacement. Doesn't CBS know that we need that special hour of moralistic goodness? It is important that we all continue to write to tell them (politely) that we miss the show and want it back very soon."
