PLOKTA online


Plokta is a highly dubious multiply Hugo-award-nominated fanzine edited by Alison Scott, Steve Davies and Dr. Plokta, aka Mike Scott. The Plokta cabal includes Steven Cain, Giulia De Cesare, Sue Mason, Marianne Cain and George. Plokta has its own domain, Plokta.com, whose homepage contains links to other Plokta projects.

There have been 32 issues on paper to date (plus a couple of intermediate special issues), 25 of which (and the specials) have been converted to HTML. We've now switched to PDF and there are 2 issues available in this format. More will follow, though Plokta will always come out in paper form first. The Web version has extra features. New jokes! Valuable historical notes! Colour photos! Colour hecto! Hot links to sites mentioned in the text! Really, you should be reading Plokta on paper and on the Web.

The paper version of the fanzine was reformatted from issue 13, and the Web version followed suit with a new format of its own. Issues 1 to 12½ have been left in their original format.

Watch also for other Plokta Enterprises projects appearing here, such as Trinketry, Wrath of Ghu, The Way of the Wombat, the Intervention non-newsletter and other fannish publications from our mighty superfluous technology. Mike Scott's fanzine Zorn is already available. So are the Corflu UK newsletter and a Reconvene one-shot.
