News: Little Blue World Fanzine Retiring From Print

The Tori fanzine Little Blue World will, after 8 years and 32 issues, cease publication with its final issue of Winter 2009. The sharp rise in productions costs has made it impossible for them to continue as a print fanzine at current production values.

During the transition, they will offer pro-rated subscriptions for the current and upcoming three issues. New and renewing subscribers will have the option to subscribe at reduced rates according to the number of issues that remain. In addition, to help meet publication expenses for these upcoming issues, they are offering their back issue packs at the most substantial discount they have ever offered. This “fire sale” will end and prices return to normal when they meet their goal.

If you have questions about an existing subscription or a subscription you’d like to start, please send them to LBW’s subscriptions editor, Aimee Lortskell, at subscriptions@little-blue-world.org. If you will still be owed issues after Winter 2009, LBW will compensate you for the issues that cannot be delivered. If you have other questions about the fanzine, please send them to editor@little-blue-world.org, where they will be received by Nadyne Mielke and me (Angela Reid).

The staff of LBW is currently considering options for continuing in another form. Information about this will be released as available.
