Issue Six - Summer 2008

Hey there, welcome to the sixth issue of Shooty Dog Thing. If you’ve never encountered the fanzine before then HELLO! SDT’s been described as doing for the eighties/nineties fanzines what Russell T. Davies has done for Doctor Who, giving it a noughties update that reinvigorates the concept of the printed ’zine. And if you’ve never encountered a fanzine before, this is what fans used to create before we had websites - just print off the PDF of side A, flip the paper and then print side B, fold it in the middle, kerchunk a couple of staples in place and that’s a fanzine! Of course, there’s also an e-zine version you can simply read on your computer screen, if you don’t want to print. The choice is yours, aren’t I good? Oh, and did I mention it’s totally free? :o)
