A New Year's Gift from the CFF and CA

CommanderTaggart · January 1st, 2005, 11:49 PM

While FRACK! never made it into print, as its organizers had originally hoped, the fanzine has FINALLY been laid out (by a rank amateur... namely, me) and saved as a downloadable .pdf document for all fans of TOS to enjoy.

As this fanzine was due out this past fall, some of the material is a bit dated, but, there's plenty of new information included in here, including material that's never before been printed anywhere else. Ray Grant's feature article on "The Living Legend" is worth the download by itself.

Many thanks to all of those who helped make this possible, including Micheleh, Jewels, Dawg, Bishop37, RGrant, Stallion Cornell, John Larocque, Jack Stauffer, Richard Hatch, Anne Lockhart, Laurette Spang, and Dirk Benedict, among others.

Please enjoy, and feel free to spread the word on other boards that this download is available. The file was large, at 14 megs, so I split the fanzine into two 7 meg files, which can be downloaded seperately. The entire fanzine is 28 pages... each individual file is 14 pages.

Better late than never, as they say, so, consider this the CFF's and CA's New Year's gift to fandom!

God bless, and enjoy!

Folks, Peter noted a problem with the text at the bottom of page 7 (Laurette's bit in the "Living Legend" article). It was a Quark thing, and some text got shifted downward. There was one more sentence after that.

It read, in it's entirety:

Quote:

We wereall playing together and getting paid for it. 'The Living Legend?' Yeah, that was one great episode."

In any case, for those of you who have already downloaded it, and don't mind downloading it again, I have fixed this little problem and reuploaded the file to the server.

Good eye, Peter!

Thank you so much Commander!!!!!

I truly wish this had made it to print, as it is an elcellent tribute to our beloved BSG!

I don't know if it's been said much, but we really need some kind of warrior medal for you Cmdr and your hard working friends who have done so very much with CFF and its wonderful ideas. I have to agree with Amberstar, this was an idea which would have been so awesome if it could only have made it to print (sigh). The articles are incredible and I am so honored I was allowed to be a small part in it.

I lift a glass of ambrosia to you Cmdr, and to all like you!

Sometimes an idea is remembered longer and even more fondly than its realization...

Affectionately,
Muffit

I agree, they have gone above and beyond the call of duty with the revival efforts. We are truly greatful.....

Muffit your musing was so touching

It echoed what is truly in our hearts!

Well, it's out there now, at least, for everyone to enjoy. I've got all of the files. Maybe we can get this into print sometime, yet.

Thanks for all the feedback. I'm glad you all are enjoying it!!!
