This is a project I started when we first started the website in 1996. It was to put on by scanning and retyping the original Florida Fandoms. We did a few at a time and made to issue 6. That as far as we are going - as the project was shelved in favor of our new PDF project in which we will be doing a new edition updating graphic, fonts and so on.  They will all say the same thing as the originals - even the original ads will be reproduced. It is a much nicer format and if you want you can download the issue.  The only thing we have for our test issue Vol.1#0 is the cover. Below is the covers to all the print issues of FF. As of now the only one which will remain is #1. To recopy to this update of the site is too time consuming since we have the PDF updated versions.

This was pdf only

This is the original cover next to the one done with the Reprint Project.  Tried to do them the way we would have done them if we had the means.

This is our newest project “Smoky Mountains Fan Connection” Ruth and I have a booth at a local indoor Flea Market and our biggest sellers are our comics and SF related items. We started printing these off in b/w and giving out free.1-3 is eight pages and 4 is 12, 5 we will go back to 8. We have them in our download area here. For anyone not around here who is interested and if a local wants to see it in color. With the exception most are about fandom - written for a newbe.  Four is a Star Trek issue. Right now they are mostly just me. The first cover I got over 40 years ago when we were up here and we were going to do a zine called SMFC, but it never the light of day. The Guyver cover we got form John Ellis for FF2011 and I got his permission to use it as a cover. Anyone who like to contibute anything to SMFC just send it to rick@floridafandom.com
