Strictly an Indulgence is a gen, slash and original fiction 276-page one-shot anthology. It has two sister zines: Over the Edge and Not In Your Wildest Dreams.
Original Focus
The zine was proposed as original fiction, but apparently gained much media content.
From a 1993 flyer:
STRICTLY AN INDULGENCE - an ORIGINAL fiction zine open to just about anything and everything. I'll accept stories on the basis of pure personal enjoyment. Anything goes. Your own characters, media characters, mythological figures, I really do mean it...ANYTHING. Alternative writing styles welcomed, story fragments, adult stories, slash, whatever! I'm shooting for a late 1993 print, so the deadline is open for now.
