Embarking on something

[cimorene]

I've read all the books by all the Golden Age mystery writers I've tried and liked so far, and I'm a little concerned I may have difficulty finding more.

That includes the last of the Thorndyke mysteries, although I first read some of them a few years ago so I could perhaps read a few again. Really, though, I'm going to have to think about what to read next, annoyingly. Maybe I can pick an old fandom I haven't read in a long time.

I don't have any Sentinel bookmarks on ao3, though I've definitely read through the fandom and even combed through the old archive multiple times, before it was imported. Maybe I couldn't find most of my old bookmarks when I was trying to move them to ao3? Or maybe it's that recently I've reread them from Wax's old bound slash instead of online a few times.

I forgot about that site entirely! Maybe I should look for some genuinely ancient, like, zine fic.

There's some on ao3, too. The hard part is finding the right search terms. And scans of old zines in various university archives that may or may not let us download them. (I wrote one asking if I could have access to a scan of a zine I actually co-edited and never heard back.)

I guess this is why my dad has like a file cabinet full of all the small press publications he's been involved in... they do have a distressing tendency to disappear later.

I've got all the stuff I was in or helped make, but buying zines often meant you had to be in the right place at the right time and know they existed, which was why there were zines that were nothing but lists of zines and how to order/contribute.
