THE A-TEAM FAN-FICTION INDEX


Notice! This index is very, VERY much out of date. I will try to work on getting information up on 'zines released since the 1996 version of this list when I can, as well as indicate print status (most titles are not currently available to the best of my knowledge.)

If you are an author or publisher named in this list who wishes your information to be removed, for whatever reason, please contact me at sockii@earthlink.net. As many of these stories were published using real names at the time, I have listed contents as they were originally published, but will remove any information upon request from parties named within. Likewise, if you are a writer or publisher and have updated information on where to find your work listed here, please contact me so I can update the information. Thank you!

-sockii, June 23, 2009

Please note -

The version of the Index here is rather badly out-of-date at the moment. If you would like the much more comprehensive version of this index, please check out our Adobe Acrobat-format, on-line A-Team fanzine, PLANS SCAMS AND VANS. Issue 3 contains the January '97 version of the Index, and Issue 4 contains updated information as of May '97.

I may eventually provide a consolidated, updated .html version of the index once again, but at the moment it's not at the top of my priority list.

 Compiled by N. N. Pellegrini

With help and information from: Scott Clark, Janet Byrne-Kaniuk, Roberta Chi-Woon Kwong, Donna Foster, Laura Michaels, Barbara Musser, Rita Ractliffe, Jenna Russell, Peg Waugh.

Last updated or revised 9/1/96

This index lists information about any and all fan-written stories including characters from the A-Team that have appeared in fandom print that I know of, as well as 'zines containing information articles about the A-Team. This list is, I'm sure, nowhere near complete, but it's a start, and I'd love help updating and expanding it in the future (see below).

SECTION 1 lists zines that contain only or predominantly A-Team material.

SECTION 2 lists stories from multi-media zines or crossovers with the A-Team that appeared in zines dedicated to other fandoms. I try to give brief plot descriptions of all the individual stories in Section 2 and of the longer pieces in Section 1.

SECTION 3 lists other zines I know contain *some* A-Team material, either stories or articles or LOC, but I don't have detailed information on their specific content.

SECTION 4 lists the addresses of different 'zine editors, publishers, and dealers that are mentioned repeatedly in this index. These are the people you should contact if you would like more information on a given title and if it's still available or not.

INPORTANT NOTE: ALL 'ZINES MARKED AS BEING AVAILABLE FROM PK&BH ARE NOW BEING HANDLED AT PEG KENNEDY AND LINDA KNIGHT AT 4138 19TH STREET, SUITE 121, LYNDEN WASHINGTON 98264. Check with them to make sure titles are still in print.



SYMBOLS

The following symbols are listed next to certain zines/stories
* Means I.M.O. it's an exceptionally good story, at least compared to the other A-Team zine stories I've read. Definitely worth checking out if you can find it. Not that the other stuff is necessarily bad, but these are ones I especially enjoyed. Your Mileage May Vary.

! Means this zine is still available (at least the last time I checked) , either through a current print run or a reprint. See the Press listings at the end of this document is you wish further ordering info.

? Means I have only seen mention of this zine or story (perhaps in a zine catalog or flyer) but neither I nor one of the other contributors to this list has verified its contents.

:) Means I would be eternally grateful if someone had a copy of this zine for sale, or for temporary loan, or knows where it might still be available, as I have been looking to read it for some time.

/ Means the title refers to a "slash" story or zine, involving (usually) explicitly-described relationships between members of the same sex. Such zines generally require an age statement with ordering as the material is intended for mature audiences only.

Zine titles are all CAPITALIZED and story titles are in quotes.


HELP BUILD THE LIST!

I would like to make this list as inclusive as possible. If you know of any A-Team stories out there that aren't in this index, or have further information about "?"-marked zines, let me know about them. Please provide the following information if you write me about a 'zine:

1. Story title, zine title, story's author, story's length.
2. Current availability of the zine (and ordering information, if known.)
3. A brief description of the content of the story (and a review if you want.) If it is a crossover with another fandom, indicate so.

Excellent if disturbing story about Murdock's experiences in the prison camp during the war, and what happened to him in the months after the bank job. (As a side note, this 'zine also contains two great ST:TNG stories centered around Reginald Barlcay, so this is a great 'zine for Dwight Schultz fans.)

! "Survive the Alliance" by Sharon Monroe
An unauthorized version of this story apeared in OSIRIS FILES 1 and 2, but the official version is available in a stand-alone 'zine from Sharon Monroe. The scoop, from Laura Michaels: Sharon Monroe pulled her story from [OSIRIS]. The Osiris Files continued to publish *their own version* and claimed the story was theirs. Sharon went on to publish the *entire* story in Survive the Alliance (her 'zine). Osiris Files did not have the entire story so could not publish an identical piece. They started with Sharon's work and supposedly diverged from there.
This is a multiple crossover-story involving V, Battlestar Galactica, Knight Rider, Airwolf, Remington Steele, and of course the A-Team.
