When [livejournal.com profile] peteyoung was in town on a stopover last year, he mentioned to me that he had started indexing fanzines on the Internet Speculative Fiction Database. Perhaps he was trying to encourage me to take up that work myself, but if so the clue failed to take. Nonetheless I was very pleasantly surprised a couple of days ago when the formerly-long-haired [livejournal.com profile] fishlifter pointed out that I'm now in the ISFDB. You might want to poke around to see if you are too. And maybe take up this work yourself.

Ah, yes, I am as well, although I had totally forgotten that I gave the Zed's Dead, Baby essay to Journey Planet. Just goes to show. Something.

Hey, who knew? I'm not there, but the ex is (go him for writing something more recently than, um, 1994...).

I'd do some data entry, but . . yeah, like I don't already have enough when-I-have-time data entry projects. And no huge backlog of zines to document. Another day, perhaps. Still, it's cool that Pete (et al.) have started adding fanzines to the ISFDB.

I'm really far too busy indexing my collection to contribute to this. Currently stage one of my index, title & issue number, is up to 5112 items while stage two, editor(s), date & notes, is up to 2252 items. Once stage two is up to date then I begin indexing selected fanzines in greater detail, ie. written contributions including letters and artwork.

Perhaps it's just me but I do think a fiction database to be a strange place to be indexing fanzines.
