I'm looking at that Canadian Fancyclopedia and is this Warp Factor the same Warp Factor talked about there[1]? It says:

WARP FACTOR -- Faned: Chris Chartier. "Clubzine for the Warp 9 club in Montreal, and at its end, for a few issues in Mississauga, ON. Chris tried to energize the club, and produce huge zines of fiction, club news, reviews of shows, episode guides and upcoming schedules of favorite SF television programmes. I believe the last issue was number 50, dated Spring 1999. Chris and wife Jennifer Brown moved to Mississauga for work around that time, and not long after, Chris announced his total gafiation. He worked so hard for a relatively unappreciative audience. I locced each issue I got, but I was the only one who did so. In time, the happy deadwood and Chris' move to Mississauga killed the club and his fannish career. On some of the later issues, Chris tried double issues formats, such as #41/42, assembled Ace Double style." -- Lloyd Penney

Maybe, though the dates seem a little suspect. If Chartier put out 50 issues, the last in 1990, then he had a really slow start. Mrs. Potato Head 17:46, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
True. And it is a fairly plain name. So there are probably at least two zines.--RatCreature 18:05, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

How should this title be renamed/sorted out? Mrs. Potato Head 23:27, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

Well, the clubzine is likely Star Trek too, but as I named that one "Warp Factor (Canadian clubzine)" b/c we don't know for certain that it is Star Trek only and not some more general SF club, naming this "Warp Factor (Star Trek: TOS zine)" would work well enough.--RatCreature 09:08, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
Done. :-) Mrs. Potato Head 12:57, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
