Earlier this week, Aaron from Fall of Autumn shared an update about changes occurring in the management of their distro and explaining what’s been happening with ZineWiki. In short: Alan is dropping out from most of the distro’s activities, they’re continuing their Zinester Podcast Series (with recent new posts), and ZineWiki got hacked and they’ve not been able to restore the site yet. Read the full announcement at LiveJournal or on MySpace.

Zine World HQ recently received Murder Can Be Fun #20, with an enclosed note saying it “will probably prove to be my final issue.” MCBF is one of those classic zines that us old-school zine folks drool over, the epitome of the ‘quirky’ zine, about weird and bizarre stories of death & mishap. I, for one, will be sad to see it go… but who knows, maybe John will surprise us with a new issue 5 years from now…

If you’ve never read MCBF, don’t let this chance pass you by: $2 to John Marr, PO Box 64011, San Francisco CA 94164.
