OvaryAction
(Oslo, Norway)
"OvaryAction is an Oslo-based, Yeasty Grrlz- inspired fanzine that is distributed on a monthly basis in the best Norwegian record stores and venues. The editors and collaborators let their imagination and creativity run wild on feminist, anti-conformist-sexist-"rankist" themes, enhanced with music that rock their world to the point of dizzyness. Interviews, reviews, short-stories, burst of laughters (or anger and tears) and comic strips complete the atomic recipe to challenge boundaries and suffocating categories. Queer Freedom! OvaryAction and Babes in Boyland are deeply connected since the former was created by half of the latter after she had moved to Scandinavia. Complementarity has thus been displaced, not destroyed: southern and norther music tastes and concerns are still closely related. OvaryAction is open to all who feel the urge to express themselves in this free space. So send us reviews, reactions, interviews, drawings, pictures... You can now hear OvaryAction on the net: www.radiorakel.no, every Sat afternoon, from 4 to 5. Send us your demo!!! OvaryAction c/o radiorakel, PB 6836 St Olavs Plass 0130 Oslo, Norway."

The Original Yonah Schimmel
(Australia)

“Here’s my amazing rationale for starting a zine; I was sick of relying on Plyester’s Books to get my zines. Yep, that simple. I knew there must be more cool zines out there and I wanted to hear about them, and get them. Stupidly, I thought I might as well make a listing or review thingy seeing no one else seemed to be doing it.” This zine is a demo according to Yonah. It is about reprints, reviews, contacts and info. This zine review promises a lot if it surpasses its demo stage. Price: $3.50 each

Other Ramona
(ON/Canada)

"This zine is the result of no time, no sleep, daily thunderstorms, smoky basement apartments, and a lot of laughter- who needs the sun, anyway?” In Issue #3 you’ll be able to find Laura venting on self esteem, a job she had, dancing to Throwing Muses, watching former friends become passerby’s and maturing while holding on to her life. By Laura, Kingston, ON, Canada.

Out Write Wilde
(?)
“ Out Write Wilde… is a zine created for anyone who possesses a desire to knock down the barriers of ignorance. It is a forum for limitless expression. It is a place free from censorship. It is a publication that has abandoned confining ideals. So all you tribades, fruits, artists, philosophers, activists, and non-conformists, let your intellects rage, because it’s going to be one Wilde ride!” Volume #1 of Out Write Wilde is truly enjoyable. Not only can you learn a credo on gender, but also included to Catherine’s zine is an allegory. I better mention that her ideas on reality check Barbies are an item that she should patent.
