In all my years of selling fanzines, I have never once had a child *ask* to buy a copy (of a genzine *or* an adult zine). Does anyone have personal knowledge of children buying fanzines? And, if so, were they doing it without the active assistance of their parents? The only children I've ever encountered in fandom were usually there because their parents had brought them to a convention or some such, not because they had an overriding interest of their own, especially in fanzines. (And what qualifies as a "child" anyway? Someone under 14? Under 18? Under 21?)
