Talk:Dial S
Is this the same zine as Dial "S"?--Æthel 15:41, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
- Looks like it. It is the same title and subtitle.--Ratcreature 15:58, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
- Trying to figure out what is the correct title, but it just gets murkier. This page lists: "DIAL S FOR STEELE OR SIMON OR SLEUTHS AT LARGE #1, S&H, SiSi, S&MrsK, Rem Steele, Streets of SF, 172p, (MM), $12.00." On the other hand, Tagging Bay City implies that the subtitle might apply only to a special issue: "Dial "S" 3: For Steele, Simon or Sleuths at Large 1, anthology, C. Brown, 1990 (gen) multi-fandom, 172 pages." On the third hand, what else could the zine publisher be dialing "s" for?
- and I found a mention of adoctor who crossover story in issue/volume 3--Æthel 22:20, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
Also found mention of issue #2 on a geocities website: "Goodbye Doesn't Mean Forever was originally published in the zine Dial "S" #2 edited by Cathi Brown." And #3 on a Shadow Chasers site: "Ghost of a Chance by Sheila Paulson (Previously published in Dial "S" #3, Vol. 1, Cathi Brown, ed..)" When they say "volume", do they mean "number"? i.e. vol. 3, no. 1--æthel 22:35, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
- Babeee! This title has been a rock in my shoe for about six months! If anyone can figure it out, I'd be pretty darn happy. Mrs. Potato Head 23:27, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
- I couldn't find out anything more, but based on usage, I think we should go with the Dial "S" spelling, consolidate the information over there, and make Dial S a redirect page. If no one has any objection, can this talk page be moved to Talk: Dial "S"?--æthel 22:31, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
- Actually, my latest google forays suggest that the appropriate title for this zine is Dial "S" For Steele, Simon or Sleuths at Large. Move? --æthel 18:34, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Regarding issue #1: I'm not convinced that the page count is 172, because it's the same page count as issue #3, the confusingly numbered issue that has been reported as volume #1 on occasion. My best guess is that issue 3 was divided into multiple parts, or the publisher at least planned to issue it in multiple parts, and we only have info on the first part. But that's just a guess.--æthel 17:13, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
Oh. Probably. Perhaps some explanation of the confusion on the title page will have to suffice. I've gone back and forth and forth and back on this thing and just can't think about it anymore. ;-) Mrs. Potato Head 17:23, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
