Summertime... The lads have been up on the big screen at the BFI in London, MS is on the BBC tonight, and he's opening on stage in Windsor in just a few days. Most of all though, it's hot over here - not at all like July weather in Pros times... For this, we need the lads in t-shirts, and other such summer-wear... *g*

Where to find Pros Zines...

Apart from via the Sources Page, from the menu bar up above, Loitering Palely can help you find Pros zines, both new and used, in and out of print. Members share information (both good and unfortunately sometimes bad) about zines and zine publishers, and help each other share, find, trade, buy and sell zines and zine stories. In particular if there is an out of print (OOP) zine that you are looking for, this might be the place to ask. Membership is on application - I'll get in touch with people I don't know or who don't seem to have Pros interests elsewhere before hitting "join", so do keep an eye on your email/lj inbox!

Please note: I have compiled my information as directly as I possibly could - from the zines themselves, the distributors, and from information passed on by ever-generous Pros fans. If there are any mistakes, they are quite likely to be entirely my fault, and I'd be grateful if they were pointed out. If authors, or anybody else mentioned on the site would prefer not to be included then please accept my apologies and let me know. I can be contacted by email to loiteringpalely at googlemail dot com. Contributions and offers of content, and other feedback are also always welcome!

Additionally, much of this site links to "slash" fiction - that is stories that may involve sexually explicit male/male relationships. Please be aware of this, and of your legal rights and responsibilities according to your age in accessing such material.

Some information about how I came to be doing this can be found here.
