April 1988: Late For Breakfast Letterzine Begins Cooking

And print! This week, Emily and V learn what a letterzine was as they look at one of the biggest of its kind from the 1980s and well into the '90s: multifandom slash zine, Late For Breakfast. They also discuss the now-mysterious biggest slash fandoms covered in the zine, from Bodie/Doyle to Blake's 7 and TWIFH nemesis, due South, as well as some shallow-dive biographies on the two fans who spearheaded Late For Breakfast over its lengthy tenure, Sue Jenkins AKA The Android and Carla Selvetta. Plus, the first-ever fight between Emily and V is caught LIVE ON TAPE! (It's about whether tea tastes good.) Are you Sue or Carla? Have you ever written for a zine? Do you like tea? Can you Britpick for us?? Let us know in the comments on Tumblr or wherever you are listening!
