RUNE

Rune is Mnstf's extremely sporadic clubzine.

Current Issue

Rune #93, guest-edited by Jeanne Mealy, went out in December 2023. You can request one by writing us (see below). A PDF version is below.

Next Issue

We are taking submissions for Rune #94!

It will be handed out at cons, mailed out on paper to around 100 people, and also available on the web as a PDF.

We're looking for submissions of text (fiction or non-), art and photos. For art, we're looking in particular for cover art, but also for for fillos (small fillers to put where the text leaves holes). Take a look at the previous issues to get an idea of what we're at.

Suggestions for text

• Con reports, perhaps of Minicon 57.
• Letters of comment on any previous Rune.
• Reflections on the state of Minn-stf or Twin Cities fandom in general or fandom in general.
• Anything that might be interesting to a mailing list of local, national, and international fans that's rather different from the group that reads your Dreamwidth/Facebook/blog.

Deadline

There is no deadline for this issue. We will finalize it when we have enough material.

Contact

Send letters, other contributions, requests for copies, and whatnot to runeXX@mnstf.org, where XX is the number of the Rune you are writing about or for. We have turned off the old rune@mnstf.org address because it was receiving 100 spam messages per day and overwhelming the poor editors. (Yes, yes, I'm sure you get more than that...)

If you have art on paper that you'd like used, or you don't like e-mail, send to RUNE, c/o Matthew Strait, 1125 Ash St, Saint Charles IL 60174 [yes, really].
