  • Mac of All Trades (first proposed in 1993, still proposed in 1995, MacGyver, from Whatever You Do, Don't Press, "An all-MacGyver zine for those of you who can't get enough of the blond hunk on the Mac Channel, er, I mean, USA. (All MacGyver, all the time!) Don't feel you have to include clever MacGyverisms in your story. We want character-driven plots just as much. How is Pete adjusting after watching Mac and his newly-acquired son ride off into the sunset? And how is he handling his encroaching blindness? Is Jack Dalton still out there somewhere, ready to cajole Mac into another can't-miss, get-rich-quick scheme? Let me hear from you Mac fans!")

  • Il Mago (1994, slash, Man from U.N.C.L.E., Samizdat Press, novel by Alexis Tesla. "Two children, born thousands of miles apart, each to a life the other could not imagine. From the instant they enter the world, one born in comfort on fine linen sheets, the other desperately ripped from his dying mother's belly. One born to a family who holds him as the brightest jewel in their ancient lineage; the other a hated intruder to the gypsy caravan forced to take him in. Two children, each with backgrounds and upbringings as disparate as any could be. Two children...each with an identical gift. The Sicilians call such a one Il Mago. The Russians have a different term: Strahsnah Ryeebyonkah — The Terrible Children. But both whisper the same legends at night, of the final conflict between good and evil, of one who will come to fight the battle with all the magic he possesses...and who will change the world forever.")

All his life, he has had one dream, to go to the Olympics and bring home the gold. On the ice, he's Canada's hero, a true showman who knows how to dazzle his audience and make them fall in love with him unlike any other in the arena. Until Eric Blackrose hit the scene. Already gaining notoriety as the first full-blooded Native American to enter the world of men's figure skating, Blackrose's history as a poor boy from a repressed culture has earned him a great deal of attention from the Press, and love from his country. His passion for skating has everyone captivated, including Andrew. Suddenly, Andrew's dream of winning becomes an obsession sharpened by his competitive edge to prove he's the best -- an effort made even more difficult as he starts to develop a deep, unexplainable attraction toward his rival. The conflicting emotions are soon reflected in his performance, and as the championship draws closer, the ice heats up."

  • Mind's Eye (1993, Star Wars, " I know, I know, another fanzine right? Just what the world needs, right? Wrong. Just what I need. Maybe you haven't noticed but it seems like every zine out today is about "War of the Worlds" or "Quantum Leap". I'm sure there are a few, but I do not know of any real Star Wars zines, and Star Wars was the foundation for most popular science fiction movies or television. In fact, before Star Wars, science fiction was widly [sic] considered the toe jam of movies and television. Well, this zine is for myself and those of you who haven't forgotten the greatest sci-fi story ever told. Maybe you've all read the Star Wars continuation series by Timothy Zahn. Maybe you all liked it, I did not. Why? Because the author did not KNOW the characters. Sound silly? What's silly is that dialog. Who ever talked that way? I don't know. My opinion of the books are my own, you may not feel the same way, fine. I am not looking for debate. Just good Star Wars stories. Which brings me to Just what I want to see when I say "good Star Wars" stories. A few things, really. 1. Nothing too campy. Sci-Fi is still taking a lot of unfair swipes from people who think we all run around saying, "Live long and prosper" and shooting flair guns at people at conventions (that really happens). 2. NO CROSSOVERS. Crossover stories can be good fun, but I don't think a story about Sam "leaping" into the body of Darth Vader would be too happening. 3. Humor. Star Wars has a lot of dramatic elements to it, but there was always humor. O.K. So what does this all mean? I'll read anything, but I won't print everything. As a matter of fact, I'll even read and print good Star Trek stories, preferably "Next Generation". But this is NOT a multi-media zine. Star Wars and maybe something else every now and then, but only if it's good. Before I run out of room on this disk I would also like to ask for artwork. I will draw for now because I like to, but sooner or later I will need other contributions. I should also point out that this will, for the most part, be an edit-free zine. Obviously spelling will be checked, but I do not believe in changing stories. Back to the artwork. Please send originals. I will endeavor to take care of them and send them back unharmed.... - Jon Cephas" see images above)
