Talk:Starlines (multifandom zine edited by Janet Walker)

The publishing date for the first zine does not make sense. #2-5 are dated earlier than 1986, so unless all the others are dated incorrectly, #1 can't have been published that year. Based on the yearly rhythm my guess would be 1981 but I don't know. What was the source for the year? Anyone remember?.--RatCreature 12:32, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Issue #1:

The other issues:

The U of Iowa has some and there's conflicting info there.

  • Starlines #1: A Midsummer Night’s Zine (1987)
  • Starlines #2-4 (December 1982-February 1984)
  • Starlines #5-6 (June 1985-August 1986)

I'm starting to wonder if these are two different zines. I find two different editors: The zinedex says its Amie Herick is the editor of the first two. And this site says Janet Walker is the editor of issue #6. [1]. That's not that odd, but then the zinedex says issue #2 won a FanQ in 1987 for a zine that was supposedly published in 1982. The Proctor site [2] then contradicts Hallidays site with the editors, saying Walker is the one for all of them (though it doesn't have info about the first one).

The cover design of #1 certainly looks quite different from the later two covers, and it is not that unique a title, and two mixed up zines would explain it. If there was a Starlines with #1 in 1986 that could easily have a #2 soon after that got FanQ in 1987.--RatCreature 16:12, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
  • nods* I can see that. I think the two Starlines the zinedex is a separate title from the six the Proctor site has. I'll see what I can do about sorting them out. Mrs. Potato Head 16:31, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

For the life of me, I can't figure out how to make the line breaks work right between issue #1 and issue #2? Anyone? --Mrs. Potato Head 22:25, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

What is the problem? It looks okay to me?--RatCreature 22:57, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
The two images for #1 and the two for #2 run together in the section for #2. At least, they do for me. --Mrs. Potato Head 23:08, 10 July 2010 (UTC)
They don't for me, because there is a "clear=all" linebreak between the sections. The only unusual thing I see is a large space between the intro sentence and the first issue, because there is a clear all instruction as well, so the first section moves below the box. I assume otherwise with the two images per issue it would be very squished to the left of the the infobox.--RatCreature 06:55, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
