For your newsgroups file:
alt.comics.fandom       Fans and fandom of comics and sequential art.

CHARTER: alt.comics.fandom

The following topics will be welcomed for discussion:

        Conventions and special events
        Pro appearances
        Parties, meetings, dinners, and get-togethers
        Fan clubs and organizations
        Fan letters and letterhacks
        Fan behavior
        APAs and fanzines

In addition, alt.comics.fandom will provide a forum for discussion
of material of general interest to fandom but not directly relevant to
the comics field.  Milestones like births and weddings of pros and
fans are appropriate.  

The following topics/posts are generally not welcome on
alt.comics.fandom:

        Binary postings (use one of the alt.binaries.* groups)
        Unrelated advertisements
        Flames and insults

Material of interest only to the poster and/or another very small 
group of specific posters should be left in e-mail and IRC.  Posts 
which actually discuss comics or comic books should be crossposted to 
the appropriate rec.arts.comics.* or alt.comics.* (or related) 
newsgroup, with followups set out of alt.comics.fandom.


In addition to the above charter, it should be noted that this is NOT a
place to sell comic books.  Please take those posts to the newsgroup
rec.arts.comics.marketplace.
