Talk:Transwarp (German Star Trek zine)

I'm not sure if cover #10 is legit. Can someone who reads German check the original page? Mrs. Potato Head 13:14, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

The page doesn't mention the covers but it doesn't look like a cover to me. All the Transwarp issues I have seen had the Transwarp title. Maybe a back cover or an illustration? --Doro 16:05, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

That's what I'm thinking, too. And the record with the page numbers only goes up to nine. I'm going to revise it a bit. Mrs. Potato Head 16:12, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

When I googled the zine I found another German Transwarp zine. That one is a club newsletter (of STUP e.V./Star Trek Utopia Planitia in Trier), and they also have pdf copies of the newsletters online: http://www.stuptrier.de/Service.htm

That newsletter hat at least 13 issues, the first from 1999, and 13 seems from early 2003? It seems much smaller in reach, issue 13 says its print run was 80 copies.--RatCreature 19:16, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

How should these two Transwarps be divided? Mrs. Potato Head 19:26, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

We could just make a Transwarp (German Star Trek newsletter)? This other is a yearly collection of Warp, so not a newsletter. I mean I looked at two of the pdfs of the tiny zine and these seem really club specific (like stuff about meetings and BBQs) with some articles and epiode guide stuff mixed in but each only eight pages or so. So mostly people would want to know about the notable zine with the large circulation.--RatCreature 19:33, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

Zine Template

Why the non-fiction template? From what I remember of the few issues a friend showed me it was mostly fiction with some art and maybe other stuff as well. --Doro 23:05, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

According to the Fanlore page, the zine "contained information, essays, fanart, fanfiction and everything Trek-related." Is this incorrect? I included the Anthology Zines category as well, so it can be found under non-fiction and fiction.--æthel 23:19, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Yes, well, I wrote that part. That's not incorrect, but how does that make it a non-fiction zine? It was a club zine with fanfic, art and also some other content. It definitely wasn't a journal of non-fiction articles or otherwise labeled non-fiction, but not clearly a newsletter, canon resource (definition from the help zine page). --Doro 23:36, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Since it's mostly fiction, I can switch back to the anthology template. But "information and essays" are non-fiction.--æthel 23:44, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Then the general zine template would probably fit best, as there is no template for clubzine. --Doro 01:18, 24 October 2010 (UTC)
