Talk:Headers

Do fanzines use headers in the same way fans do online? I've never read a fanzine, and am experiencing a sudden curiosity on the matter. --Anenko 09:17, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Not the ones I own (admittedly only a couple). You have a TOC like in a short story anthology, or chapter titles if it is a novel. However the ads/zine flyers announcing the zines I bought had summaries pretty much like online stories, but not inside the zine itself (eta: also often pairing info if that wasn't clear from the setup of the zine itself, and sometimes warnings, though less detailed, I've seen warnings for rape and violence, and adult labels). Which makes sense, because if you have the zine you usually already own it (buying at cons excepted, and there you could ask in person) and as you paid quite a bit, you are bound to read. The enticing summaries you want before deciding to hand over your money. Sometimes at the end there are "About the authors" sections though.--RatCreature 09:50, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Do you think the headers entry should be amended to specify that it's referring to online fanworks? And thank you for the informative reply; fanzines are a mystery to me. --Anenko 21:28, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Header building tool(s)?

Does anyone know where these can be found? I think that's exactly the kind of tool that it would be useful have linked here. Mainly because this is where I came to look for a useful tool when I couldn't find one with google.

From memory the tool I'm looking for was just a simple Javascript page which prompted for details of the story, including warnings, and then provided the html to nicely format a story header including accessible formatting for warnings.

You mean something like this: http://tools.oscillating.net/headerbuilder/ ? --Doro 12:33, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

Yes, exactly. Thank you.--Linbot 10:24, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
