Actually, the overall subject under discussion, as the subject line indicates, was zines and zine editing, not *just* publishing of artwork, explicit or otherwise. Although a conversation about explicit artwork has now begun, that doesn't change the overall topic, I would assume. In fact, the conversation began primarily on the topic of mixed zines versus adult and/or gen zines and whether or not mixed zines are as popular.

Furthermore, Leah's point was that every issue of my zines, like issues of many other editor's zines, consists of contributions from many and varied contributors. That does include the artists, as well. Leah is hardly the only artist who has ever been published in my publications, as anyone who has ever bought one of my fanzines or contributed to one knows. In fact, I was very lucky to be able to feature many of what I consider the best B7 artists like Karen River, Leah, Suzi Lovett, Laura Virgil, Adrian Morgan, Phoenix, Randym, Dani Lane and many others. I'm incredibly grateful to the artists and writers who were responsible for making my zines beautiful visually and great fun to read over the years.
