This didn't seem to go through, so apologies if you get it several
times.....

My guess is that the reduction represents both an increase in Web
publishing and a decrease in fannish interest in B7. I don't know if anyone
has any figures on the publication or sales of printzines in other fandoms,
or for that matter other quantifiable measures of fan interest, such as
sales of videos, attendance at cons, viewing figures for the
satellite/cable repeats?
Although the Hermit library, Liberated and other sites are all great, a
high proportion of the stories archived have been previously published in
printzines, especially the longer stories.
