As I mentioned in my desert isle fics list, I'm new to OldSchool!Who fanfiction, but what I've read I'm really enjoying. I love print zines and finishing up work on The Brotherhood 7 (which features a Ten, Donna, and Jack story by [livejournal.com profile] wendymr crafted from the purest awesome) has made me long for more print fic.

MediaWest, only a few weeks away, is my best shot at scoring Classic Who fanzines, but like a lot of things in DW fandom, it's difficult to know where to start. There's a huge number of zines that were in print, but many of those were letter/info zines or a mix of fiction and essays, and of course, fanworks vary widely in quality.

I'd really value recommendations. My peculiarities are:
* I would probably enjoy the commentary zines, but I'd prefer to start with zines that are at least half fic.
* I'm more about the characters than the awesome aliens/timey-wimey stuff.
* I lean toward the hurt/comfort side of the force.
* Gen, please.

Making recs brings fannish karma. Scientific fact.

Am I correct in ascertaining that there aren't any other major archives?

There's Lost Luggage (I'd have to go look up the link for that) but it's more of an online zine than an archive.

You're one of the Brotherhood team? I'll make a point of saying "hi" when I come buy my copy of 7.

Yes. I'm sorry to say that I haven't been there in ages; I noted it when it went up and then never got time to get back to it.
