Fandom Directory

You may also be looking for the online Fan Fiction Directory.
 
Fandom Directory is a directory of fans, zines, clubs and conventions. There is also one international directory.
"Before the internet, the Fandom Directory was "the yellow pages of Fandom".
Each year from 1979-2001 the Fandom Directory listed fanzines in a special index. Each year a zine needed to re-submit their information or they were dropped for being non-responsive. Thus we provided a snapshot of the zines being published each year. In the later years we had several hundred current zines listed. We did the same thing with clubs and conventions, so the Fandom Directory chronicles the evolution of fandom zines, cons, clubs, and fans over the 22-year period from 1979 through 2001. That was a very active time in fandom, covering the mimeo era through the start and early growth of the internet.
