Zerinza is a gen Doctor Who newsletter which appears to have become also a zine of fiction.
It was the first, and longest-running, Doctor Who zine in Australia. The first issue was handed out, free, to over 60 attendees of a screening of the movie, Dr. Who and the Daleks, at the Stephen Roberts Theatre, Sydney University (September 21, 1976). While that first issue contains 8 pages, later ones ran about 12-20 pages.

- the novelization of "The Power of the Daleks" by Matthew Lee
Reactions and Reviews: Issue 36
This issue had been planned well before John Peel gained permission to novelise the tale, but came out afterwards. A key difference is that this novelisation is based on the TV story, and not on Ian Whitaker’s original scripts as John Peel did. [1]
Issue 37
Zerinza 37 was published in 1997.
- the novelization of "The Pirate Planet" by Matthew Lee
Reactions and Reviews: Issue 37
The Pirate Planet. Douglas Adams has publicly stated he doesn’t want to do his books, nor let anyone else do them. Combined with the recent record of the ABC missing an episode of this story during it’s screening, and at twice the length of the typical Target novelisation, this becomes a very valuable resource [2]
