They are apparently purchasing the zines at full price, either through the mail under different names, or at conventions. Also, several dealers have recently been trying to "get into" the K/S fanzine business. WEEKLY, and I hardly think the writers, artists and contributors want their material and their names being indiscriminately sold at conventions without their knowledge or approval. It is this type of indiscretion which leads to articles such as appeared in THE L.A. Also, if any con-goers happen to run across copies of my zines which are not being sold as part of a private collection, I hope you will write to me and let me know. If any editors are interested in putting a stop to this, write to me for further details, as I don't think it would be appropriate to print names and addresses at this point. Yes, I know who this person is, and I know of several other zines she has been illegally copying. Since my zines are never out of print, I cannot condone this, nor should any editor have to put up with it. It has, however, come to my attention that this person has been selling copies of my zines at the more major conventions, such as CREATION in San Francisco, and at MEDIAWEST this past May. Occasionally, I may also send a few copies of zines to IDICon, SHORE LEAVE or other more typically "fannish" gatherings where K/S is "no big deal". The only authorized distributor at this point is KathE Walker (of DATAZINE). First, it has come to my attention that at least two different people have been xeroxing and netting pirated copies ofNAKED TIMES and other Pon Farr Press publications at conventions. I would like to ask convention goers to please be advised of a few things.
I you'll agree that this issue looks considerably better than our last two. Luckily, after several threats to the company, we now have obtained the Bionic Copy Machine, which produces excellent quality in considerably less time, and with a lot less wear and tear on the editor. Exorcisms didn't work, and neither did the machine. The last one, which was responsible for the printing on all back issues, as well as the printing on NT8, 9, and 10 was somewhat of a monster. that means having a copy machine taking up one whole room of the house. As many of you know, I refuse to deal with printers after the incredible disaster I encounter with NT 4/5. I would also like to say that we now have a brand new, faster, stronger, better quality copy machine! Additionally, I would like to apologize for the less-than-perfect quality of printing on PFP zines over the last 8 months. I'm also collecting reviews oi K/S zines as well as ads from K/S editors.

WEEKLY is certainly a topic for discussion in that format, so please feel free to let me hear from you. Mainly, I would like ON THE DOUBLE to be a sort of "K/S Hotline" - a place where K/S fans can communication, read, and write views on K/S zines, and can stay informed on where the genre is going. At this point, we have no defined deadline, and will go to press as soon as enough material is collected. If you have comments or observations which you feel would be of interest to other K/S fans on any subject, please send them to Pon Farr Press. I'll avoid further editorializing here, except to say that I hope to print further discussion of this in ON THE DOUBLE, our new K/S letterzine/adzine which we hope to premiere later this year or early 1987. I think all K/S fans will find this of special interest, and I encourage you to read this article with care. I am reprinting an "article" which appeared the Augissue of THE L.A.
