About

From the publisher's webpage:

According to Lisa Wilcox, president of ORACLE, it all started when René saw a fanzine of Andy Robinson's that was being sold for charity. René then approached Lisa and asked her if she thought such a 'zine could be put together with fanfic about Odo. Lisa got the word out to folks like our website designer, Carolyn Fulton and, well, the rest is history! [1]
