FANZINES



Trans-Scrypt was my first fanzine project. It started off as a general TF fanzine
and changed to an all-story format by the time issue #5 was released. The series ran to issue #11 before I was forced to stop producing the fanzine due to an inability to secure regular equipment to do the fanzine on. I had always intended to restart TS but decided just to redo the fanzine's main story, The Light Odyssey, on the web instead.

Trans-Scrypt ran from Spring 1994 to Summer 1996.

Transfusion was created in 1996 as a one-shot spotlight issue on Megatron. The entire issue was about 140 pages (that's 70 double-sided) and featured many stories by writers such as Raksha, Matt Kirkby, Thomas Zavier and myself. It contained complete tech specs to that time, as well as artwork, poetry and many other things. (The many faces of Megatron cover was done by a talented artist friend named Nick Roche).

Prime was created in 2000 as a one-shot spotlight issue on Optimus Prime (kind of a counter-point project to the Megatron spotlight). The entire issue was about 125 pages (double-sided total) and featured many stories by writers such as Matt Kirkby, Thomas Zavier and myself. It contained complete tech specs to that time, as well as artwork, poetry and many other things. I designed the simple cover and much of the issue featured color pages to further enhance the project (a first for me). (

And, of course, the storyzine Balance of Power. It ran from 1993 - 2009. The stories and archive can be found HERE.





That's it for now. But who knows what the future may hold? ;-)
