There are fifteen issues. See [[List of Letterzines]]. A [[gen]] [[sister zine]] was [[It Is What It Is]]. ==About== {{Quotation| Phoenix Mountain Project - an all War of the Worlds l/z, but with the slash angle on characters one and all, along with discussions on a multitude of other Universes encouraged. Phoenix Mountain tends to run small, approx 23 pages, double sided, but it is worth it for the discussion factor and exchange of ideas on some of your favourite characters. It seems that many of the people who subscribe are fan writers, and that adds to the exchange of ideas. <ref> from [[Late for Breakfast]] #25, (spring 1998) </ref>}} ==How It Worked== {{Quotation| Welcome all, to the first issue of TPMP as an APA. Let me start by explaining how an APA works. An APA is a kind of letterzine, and as such it requires your active participation. I figured that if you were willing to participate in a round robin, you'd be willing to take part in an APA, because in many ways it is easier and faster. Here's how it will work... You'll write a LOC, just like you would do for a round robin, but, instead of sending it to me, you'll need to go run 1 5 copies of the LOC, then sent them to me by a certain deadline. I'll take all the LOCs, collate them, add mine and who knows what else, staple them together and mail them to you. You'll also have to send me $5 US - $7 CAN - $10 OS with the 15 copies of your first LOC. With this I'll pay for the postage to get the collection back to you. I'll note in the issue what the postage was and what you have left in your account. When that gets low, I'll remind you that it's time to feed the postage piggy-bank. ATTENTION OVERSEAS MEMBERS: Please do not send 15 copies of your LOCs. Just send me one copy and I'll make the copies here. That'll reduce your costs. That's why the price is a little higher for you. Hope that's okay. That'll also mean that the paper sizes will match up okay, too! In order to make sure that TPMP doesn't grow to epic proportions, please limit yourself to 3 sheets (that's 6 pages of text, double sided o' course). If I can get an okay from the authors involved, I'd also like to include short fiction. And, in the future, perhaps we can work on a jointly written slash story that can circulate in the APA. In this issue I've taken the LOCs from the first circuit of the round robin, ran copies and collated them. In your next LOCs, please feel free to refer to these letters. Talk to each other! That's what makes APA's fun. I'll also be enclosing a list of possible subjects. If one strikes your fancy, toss in a couple of paragraphs or pages on it! That's about all there is as far as nuts and bolts go. I hope that TPMP will have a long and enjoyable life in WOW fandom. Let me know if you have any suggestions on topics, improvements, etc.. I'm still new to fandom and still earning all this stuff! Until the next issue, take care and have an enjoyable end of summer. The four editors, Laura "Duval" Grigsby, Laura "Shiloh" Brush and Angelica Cooper-Smith (and honorary co-editors Cinda Gillilan and Jody Norman)}} ==Issue 1== '''Phoenix Mountain Project 1''' was published in 1990 and contains 20 single-sided pages.

[[Image:phoenixmountainproject2.jpg|from issue #3|thumb|left]] From the zine: {{Quotation| Hi, Everybody, All right, People, I will give you what you want, indications of a possible Blash relationship between Harrison and Paul. Remember you asked. Fair warning - I originally did this to tease a friend who is not a slash fan. She is not not a slash fan in that she does read it. She just did not want to see any slash relationship in WOW. Also remember I have lots of experience in putting together slash relationships in non-slash settings.}} * Resurrection ("Paul and Harrison talking in the living room after the story telling. Look at the positioning and the body language.") * The Walls of Jericho ("There are a couple of scenes to take under consideration at this point of time. The argument after Wilson has disbanded the team carries the weight of being slightly more personal than it should have been especially with Paul's comment "Get out of my life and stay out." Later there is Harrison playing with Paul's tie as an attempt to get his attention and Paul pulling away as he is not yet ready to give Harrison what he wants. The dialog of Paul and Harrison which goes like this: Paul: You're just weird, Blackwood. Harrison: Maybe, but when I grow up, I want to be just like you. lends itself to the concept.") * Thy Kingdom Come ("The food incident when Harrison is playing with Paul's hamburger. The reaction of Suzanne and Norton lead you to expect an explosion but Paul simply slams his hamburger down. The second incident is the tapping on the shoulder of Harrison by Paul as he passes him on the way to see what Norton wanted.") * A Multitude of Idols ("In Beeton while standing at the cars, Harrison tells Paul he loves his knees. Isn't that a great whistle Paul has?") * An Eye for an Eye: ("Harrison give Paul an encouraging slap on the back. Paul has begun to really trust Harrison. He left him the cafe bill to pay.") * The Second Seal ("When the crystal effects Harrison, he subconsciously chooses the man he cares the most about to imitate. (There are no scenes with the two of them alone which makes it very difficult to follow their relationship.)") * Goliath is My Name ("The argument they have when Harrison wants to leave to investigate the death of the student and Paul doesn't want him too. The hurt Paul has when Harrison wants to risk his life is clearly seen in Paul's face. The question there is he do this to me?") ==Issue 4== '''Phoenix Mountain Project 4''' ==Issue 5== '''Phoenix Mountain Project 5''' ==Issue 6== '''Phoenix Mountain Project 6''' ==Issue 7== '''Phoenix Mountain Project 7''' ==Issue 8== '''Phoenix Mountain Project 8''' ==Issue 9== '''Phoenix Mountain Project 9''' ==Issue 10== '''Phoenix Mountain Project 10''' ==Issue 11== '''Phoenix Mountain Project 11''' ==Issue 12== '''Phoenix Mountain Project 12''' ==Issue 13== '''Phoenix Mountain Project 13''' ==Issue 14== '''Phoenix Mountain Project 14''' ==Issue 15== '''Phoenix Mountain Project 15''' was published in December 1995. ==References== <references/> [[Category:War of the Worlds Zines]] [[Category:1990s]]'
