Revia

Revia is a gen Doctor Who club zine of articles, reviews and fiction. While issues start at "v.2," there is no "v.1."
==V.2 N.1==
Revia v.2 n.1 (Issue #1) was published in April 1993 and contains 20 pages. It was edited by Jayson Newey, Wil Roysdon, and Mark Stanfa. Contributors: Dorothy Kulawiak, Jayson Newey, Nancy Schuetz, and Wil Roysdon. 
"Chicken and the Egg:
Was the second volume of
Revia created for the
newly-formed Chronicles of
Who, or was the club
formed as a means to
produce the new fanzine?
The sad truth was a mix of both.
Club founders Jay and
Wil always had the
revival of Revia as a
core reason for creating
the club, but it was far
from their only reason.
Issue one was originally
supposed to be released in
March of 1993, but an
early runaround with an
extra pair of editors
postoned the first issue
of the new volume.
Time has lost to us
the authorship of many of
the articles in the first
several issues of this volume,
and consequently have the
editors given the credit.
However, being a first issue,
most of the articles were 
written by the editors."

==V.2 N.2==
Revia v.2 n.2 (Issue #2) was published in June 1993 and contains 23 pages. Edited by Jayson Newey, Wil Roysdon.
"The second issue of Revia was
again written almost entirely
by the editors. The sole club
contribution was that of a
postcard drawn by Bartek Bachledie.
It would prove to be his only
contribution to the series, and
the only postcard attempted.
The wraparound cover was
devised as a direct parody of
Doctor Who Magazine's
multi-Doctor gatefold cover, used
on their 200th issue. Hence,
the deliberate scratching-out
of the word 'Hundred' on our
cover."

Revia v.2 n.4 (Issue #4) was published in September 1993 and contains 24 pages. It was edited by Jayson Newey, Wil Roysdon, Mike Quintero. 
"Things began getting silly in
earnest with Issue Four:
the cover featured companions
that were due to be examined
in the following issue (and the
cover admitted as much); the news
column had an item about
a new fan-video entitled
'Revia in an Exciting Adventure
with Video'; the title of the new
'Legend of the Hand' installment
contained editor Jay's home phone
number (backwards); the cover
exclaimed 'Billions and Billions
Served!', when in fact we had
a circulation of less than 100
(at this point).
Useless Trivia:
Jim Snyder's 'Altered Realities',
which made its bow in this
issue, would be the only
serialized fiction to ever fully
reach its conclusion in Revia."

==V.2 N.5==
Revia v.2 n.5 (Issue #5) was published in October 1993 and contains 28 pages. It was edited by Jayson Newey, Wil Roysdon, Mike Quintero.
"The Revia staff filled out nicely
with the additions of Mike Albiniak
and Gregg Allinson in Issue Five.
Gregg would write some of
the most outrageous and controversial
artivles to grace the fanzine, while
Mike would usually serve as
light entertainment during
heavy editing sessions.
Jim's 'Pertwee Must Die' article
was a more serious take on
a subject that would find itself
on the cover of issue Ten.
Apparently most Club members
of the time thought that Pertwee
would die at Visions '93, although
others guessed 1994, 1995, and 1997.
No votes for 1996, though....
Useless Trivia:
People used to ask us where
we got our news scoops, including
the Issue Five cover-grabbing headline
about The Highlanders and
The Macra Terror being found.
In fact, we were getting our
information off of internet
newsgroups, some 2-3 years before
Netscape introduced the world to
the web browser. Kinda figures
that our headline was proven
false then, no?"

==V.2 N.6==
Revia v.2 n.6. (Issue #6) was published in December 1993 and contains 28 pages. It was edited by Jayson Newey, Wil Roysdon, Mike Quintero. 
"In honor of the 30th Anniversary
of Doctor Who, Issue Six devotes
many of its pages to reviewing the
junk that was released to milk the
30th Aniversary for what it was
worth (and more). We also paid
homage to the Grande Event by
petitioning WTTW to bring the show
back on-air, as evidenced in this
issue's Misdirected Mail.
Truth be told, much of this issue's
mindless reviews were slated due to
a deliberate creative focus on the
Year End Special, which was being
written concurrently with Issue Six
and was published a scant fou
weeks later."

==1993 Year End Special==
Revia Year End Special v.2 was published in 1993 and contains 31 pages. It was edited by Jayson Newey, Wil Roysdon, Mike Quintero. Contributors include: Brian Kimmel, Gregg Allinson, Jayson Newey, Jim Snyder, Mike Quintero, and Wil Roysdon. 
"The 1993 Year End Special was usually
considered by the Revia staff to
be the best of the entire series. Published
with the aim of selling tons of
copies at Visions '93, the YES was
loaded with fun articles of facts
and fiction, with none of the filler
reviews that tended to weigh down the
regular issues.
Making his bow in the YES was
Brian Kimmel (miscredited as Brian Kimball)
with what would arguably be the
centerpieces of the issue, the fullsized
poster and the 'Race for the Dematerialisation
Circuit' game. The game came complete
with clip-out batteries, directions on
how to make your own loaded die,
and precicely one 'JN-T Note' (money
used in the game).
'Night of the Living Dead Doctors' seemed
really, really funny when we wrote it
and would still probably make a
damned fine cartoon today."

==V.2 N.7==
Revia v.2 n. 7 (Issue #7) was published in January 1994 and contains 28 pages. It was edited Jayson Newey, Wil Roysdon, and Mike Quintero. Contributors: Gregg Allinson, Jayson Newey, Jim Snyder, Keith Lipinski
and Wil Roysdon. 
"The dawning of 1994 brought a number
of stylistic changes to Revia,
although it would take few issues
for the new designs to be perfected.
1994 also saw the beginning of
burnout in the Revia crew, as
chronicled in this month's 'The Editors
at Work' column. The damage
to this issue would be somewhat
minor (the 'Apology' instead of a
Visions '93 review), but toll of the
burnout would soon exponentiate...
The 'Youthful Innocence' series
which began in this issue is usually
seen as one of the best in Revia's
second run, although its author is still
rather embarassed by it.
Dimensions In Time, having just
been screened at Visions '93, would
become the 'target of choice' in Revia
from here till the fanzine's demise. DIT
(as the anniversary special derisively became
known) would still be the butt of
jokes in 2000's SpackOff!"

==V.2 N.8==
Revia v.2 n.8 (Issue #8) was published in March 94 and contains 28 pages. It was edited by Jayson Newey, Wil Roysdon, and Mike Quintero. Contributors: Gregg Allinson, Jayson Newey, Jim Snyder, Keith Lipinski, Mike Quintero and Wil Roysdon.
"By all outward appearances, Issue Eight
saw Revia return to form. Behind
the scenes, however, the chaos encountered
with Issue Seven was becoming ever-more
complicated. Jay and Wil had their
hands full attempting to secure a new place
for the club to meet, since Chronicles
Bookshop had decided to close its doors
without any serious notice. Additionally,
the Revia Radio Show began broadcasting
weekly on WKDI-AM as this issue was being
put together. Hosted by Wil, Jay, and Jim
(with guest appearances by others on the
staff), the show featured a mix of bad music
and Who-related discussions. Editor Mike
did a fantastic job at taking up the slack
on this issue; a fact which would not
escape his notice...
It was decided to center an issue
around Colin Baker because we felt him
to be a terribly nice guy who'd gotten shafted.
Just why Gregg decided to drag Gareth
Jenkins into it remains unknown, but we were
more than happy to let him have his way
with the center pages."

==V.2 N.9==
Revia n.2 v.9 (Issue #9) was published in May 1994 and contains 28 pages. It was edited by Jayson Newey, Wil Roysdon, and Mike Quintero. Contributors: Dorothy Kulawiak, Gregg Allinson, Jayson, Jim Snyder and Wil Roysdon. 
"Having found the Chronicles of Who a new
home in Graham Crackers Comics, things
settled down for the Revia crew and Issue
Nine mirrors the newly relaxed atmosphere.
Filled with such inventive silliness as the
DIT finger puppets and the Colin Baker
Flip-Book, as well as Gregg's masterpiece
of insanity (DIT - the Early Years), Revia
appeared to be headed for something big.
Revia had been given a rather savage
review by Amanda Murray in DWB 124,
but we just took a quote from it and
wore it as a badge of pride on the cover
of Issue Nine.
Issue Nine called for a boycott of 800-TREKKER for, amongst other things, not publishing
the number of FDW Newsletters per year
that they'd advertised. Who'd guess that
the very same problem would shortly hit
Revia...?
Useless Trivia:
We laid claim to having helped deaf reader
Greg Brown in his campaign to get CBS/Fox to
Close-Caption more video releases, when in fact
we had done no such thing. The poor guy
thought we had far more pull in Who-dom
than we really had, and we couldn't face
telling him the truth. Besides, we'd already
done stuff with Revia that guaranteed us
a trip to Hell...."

==V.2 N.10==
Revia v.2 n.10 (Issue #10) was published in July 1994 and contains 28 pages. Editors were Jayson Newey, Wil Roysdon, and Mike Quintero. Contributors: Brian Kimmel, Gregg Allinson, Jayson Newey, Jim Snyder, Keith Lipinski and Wil Roysdon.
"Issue Ten was loaded with ambition. We
presented our readers with the first
Revia poll, gave them the first Revia comic
strip, and devised a photo-shoot for the
'Pertwee Is Dead' center-spread. Heck, we even
came up with another part to Jay's long-
forgotten story, 'Legend of the Hand'. Yep, Issue
Ten was certainly loaded with ambition.
Unfortunately, the sinister, medieval definition
of 'ambition' also came into play during the
creation of this issue. A long-brewing rift
between editors Mike and Jay finally broke wide
open, leaving Wil to choose between the two
of them. Jay offered to invest in several
thousand dollars' worth of new computer equipment
for future Revia, so it was decided to move the
production of Revia after Issue Ten.
Useless Trivia:
This, the final issue of Revia, ended
in a cliffhanger."
