It occurs to me that it's a little strange not to list newly available Pros zines on the front page of this website, so please do see below!

There is also a new livejournal, which fans of Pros zines might be interested in, called Loitering Palely (yes, it's the lj that I was originally using for Palelyloitering communications!) where members are encouraged to share information (both good and unfortunately sometimes bad) about zines and zine publishers, and to 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.

Our still-Springtime story recs are courtesy of the fab people over at CI5hq livejournal. Thank you!

If you've any recommendations for the list then do email me at loiteringpalely at googlemail dot com!

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.
