No Stunts Magazine

No Stunts Magazine is a monthly online magazine written from a Larrie perspective and covering various topics of interest to Larry fandom. It describes itself as "a magazine devoted to covering the careers of Louis Tomlinson & Harry Styles, & exposing exploitation & closeting in the music industry." (Accessed 4 February 2024.) Its online presence includes a WordPress blog and social media accounts, and a pdf copy of the magazine is available to Patreon subscribers. Print copies are also sold through a print-on-demand website.
The magazine is a fan project run by volunteers. Alteraside started the project and funded it, but a group of writers, all larries, have also contributed to it., 20 January 2024.
The magazine's name is a reference to the fannish term "no stunts larrie", meaning a "true" larrie--a One Direction fan who believes that band members Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson are in a closeted gay relationship and that all of their known girlfriends and Louis's son are publicity stunts.
