A 1983 Description

Amberites Unite!

We are the Royal Family of Amber. We would like to introduce ourselves to you, and most of all, invite you to join us! We are a group of fans who love the Amber series by Roger Zelazny. In fact, our club has been authorized by Mr. Z himself!

We currently publish a bi-monthly 3-6 page newsletter, put out by our founder and dear brother, Corwin (Laurie Farkas). In July, we are planning a family picnic, and a party at Panopticon, and a big bash at Chicon in September. All this for only $5.00 per year.

Also in the works is a fanzine entitled SHADOW SHIFTING Right now, it contains such greats as "Faiella's Diary", her last thoughts before the birth of Deirdre; "Under the Four Moons", how Oberon met his 2nd wife on Darkover; "Shadow Show", Random's rock band on Earth; "King to Come", Corwin and Merlin's adventures in a new universe and "Trek or Treat", the obligatory Star Trek story. Best of all, it will contain lots and lots of artwork. We aren't limited to only Amber. Although we are Amber based, we reach out to all known and unknown universes. We hope by press time to have 75+ pages. Speaking of printing, we're sure you are aware of the high costs of publishing these days. Our selling price for the zine will be $8.00 each. We need to get as many pre-paid orders as possible. As soon as we can put enough funds together to put down a deposit at a printer, we will publish the zine. We hope to make it by Chicon, we can with your help!
