Up to now the "new magic world" has been a 22. Last year, the editorial editor of the new fantasy world of physical medium-length supplement the "new world magic mirror" and "new magic world requiem teacher" by the Sichuan People's Publishing House. Amateur fantasy fans from making the electronic magazine, to publish a physical book. "
Fanzine "term, continue to appear in the correspondent with the" new magic world "magazine's deputy editor of three Mitutoyo interview conversation.
Three Mitutoyo is a Hong Kong university teachers, as science fiction fans of science fiction literature deep. Wikipedia definition for the Fanzine: Fanzine (Lovers magazine) is a cultural phenomenon (such as a literary or musical form) fans (usually one or a few) made of non-professional publications, and its purpose is to to share their hobby with other enthusiasts. The word first appeared in the 1940s, used to produce their own magazine called science fiction fan.
And Fanzine (enthusiasts magazine) corresponds to the Prozine (magazine), and Semi-Prozine (semi-professional magazines). The most important distinction is whether the professional level of royalties. When Fanzine began to absorb advertising, providing less than the professional level of remuneration to attract professional writers when it becomes a Semi-Prozine.
Long history of fantasy's Fanzine. The first fantasy Fanzine in Chicago for decades, science fiction fantasy of the Fanzine in the West after another. American science fiction Hugo Award in Literature Prize, there is a special award is the best Fanzine, there are also corresponding to the best semi-professional magazine and Best Professional Magazine Awards (Best after 1972 replaced by professional editors award).
In China, the first fantasy enthusiasts magazine should be the current "science fiction world," magazine editor Yao Haijun founder of the "nebula" magazine. In 1987, Heilongjiang forest workers or the spare time is spent on civil Yao Haijun publication "Nebula" on. "Nebula" magazine is very simple. It is first hand carved in the form of wax paper, then mimeographed, and finally into a stereotype. Manuscript by science fiction writers and publishers editors, including sci-fi world news, reviews, and science fiction. This every two to three months before publication of a civil society, in the most prosperous times, each sent to the country's more than 1,200 copies of science fiction fans. In 1993, Wu Yan science theorists to the United States attended the meeting, he brought the "nebula" magazine to marvel at their foreign counterparts. In this way, Yao Haijun alone persist for a decade, launched a total of more than thirty period "Nebula", and thus changed their destiny, a forest worker from China's largest science fiction magazine editor. In the mid-1990s, China emerged a large number of science fiction community and recreational organizations, these groups or associations usually have their own internal publications, three Mitutoyo that this is also the domestic fantasy enthusiasts early prototype of the magazine.
With the development, large quantities of fantasy literature enthusiasts to come together through the network, this magazine for enthusiasts in the development of China gave birth to a broader soil. Since the new millennium, more fantasy Fanzine magazines have appeared, the magic involved in the production of these magazines, many fans have now become the authority of science fiction literature, researchers, some of whom also became the magazine's fiction editor, translator and so on. But three Mitutoyo said most domestic fantasy Fanzine magazines mostly short duration, the main problem is personal. Currently, still in the network issued on fantasy Fanzine magazines are "science fiction metropolis Review", "China's new science fiction" and "new magic world." Reporters download the latest issue of "science fiction metropolis Review", is primarily aimed at collection of print and online media comment on the science-fiction-related articles, related content, including novels, movies, games, and market research and so on.
Three Mitutoyo to reporters about the "new magic world," the founder of the process. "The new magic world" is also on the sci-fi fans by the network established at the earliest, when they make some magic Forum fantasy literature on the exchange, a casual discussion, we decided to do an electronic magazine, "New fantasy world "was born. Unlike most fantasy Fanzine magazines are still in a very personal entertain the state is different is that from the beginning they have more science fiction fan involvement team, a university teacher, magazine editor, free essays draft, game company art, overseas students, etc., depending on the relative vocational skills have a professional division of labor. Editorial department has developed into the present, including editing, art, proofreading, production, promotion and other departments dozens of perfect bodies, and as a monthly magazine, the magazine also includes original fiction, reviews, translations, etc. overseas.
Three Mitutoyo explained their original intention of the magazine, "Harry Potter", "three-body" and the emergence of domestic fantasy, fantasy literature is constantly expanding the influence of this market is very broad, but you can develop new the author's platform is relatively scarce. They hope the "new magic world" to become a training base for new authors, this magazine to open up the "birthplace" and "Stardust Cup" and other original works section, for the author to provide more exhibition stage. Therefore, the "new magic world" there have been many science fiction writers support because Fanzine magazine special, "the new fantasy world" is through the magazine in PDF format for free download on the network in the form of promotion, such as Korean pine, and other famous science-fiction writers have free magazine feed, which Jiang Tao of "time diaries" selected Sichuan People's Publishing House version of the "2009 China Best science fiction collection," Han Song's "dark room" was the first Chinese Fantasy Star Award for Best Short Story Award , PAN-day "spring pig story" in the "Decade of the new century literature: Present and Future," International Symposium on drawing attention.
Finally, three Mitutoyo stressed to reporters, as a Fanzine magazine, in order to become like the "scientific squirrel will" as the basic professional team is impossible. As for the magazine's future, in addition to fantasy literature, the author provides a new platform, they also hope to become China's fantasy culture observer.
Fantasy Fanzine as a typical representative of the magazine, the "new magic circles" for the magazine publishing industry with some new resources and ideas. Note, however, is accompanied by the continuous development of network Fanzine magazines, pay attention to how the copyright protection, it does not become a second "Baidu Library" violations are also cause for concern.
