This has been a fascinating discussion. To tack another thought on to it, as a newbie to the fandom (and to fandom in general, at least as an active participant):
I'd love to see a fic of mine in a zine--seeing something actually on paper and knowing it was considered (by someone, somewhere) as good enough to be put together with other stories would be a thrill.
How does one go about finding a zine? One of the B7 Writer's Resource pages has a list of zines looking for stories, but at the moment the list consists, I think, of one or two only. Is there a better list out there, or is the field just that sparse right now? And what are the odds that a story I write would fit a zine theme?

Going back to an earlier part of this discussion - about publishing on-line then in a magazine - what if you have a 'short' published on line & develop it into a more complex story - something like the relationship between AC Clarke's 'The Sentine;' & '2001'?
