| Zines (short for "]s", short for "fan-created magazines") are independently produced publications, usually not for profit, that often cater to a specific audience of enthusiasts. | |||
| Originally fanzines were hand-drafted or typed on a manual typewriter and printed using primitive reproduction techniques. Only a very small number of copies could be made at a time, so circulations were extremely limited. The development of ] and ]s enabled higher numbers to be run off, and the photocopier increased the speed and ease once more. Today, thanks to the advent of ] and do-it-yourself printing, there is often little difference between a 'fanzine' and an official 'magazine'. | |||
| Some fanzines have moved to electronic publishing and become ]s. | |||
