A fanzine is a usually small-press publication catering to fans of a
particular genre. (As M. High pointed out, "furry" is more a *vehicle*
than a *genre*, but that's a technicality.) There are several "furry
fanzines" which publish an assortment of stories, artwork and sometimes
articles submitted to the 'zine, such as "PawPrints" and "YARF!".
Other publications that may pop up in "furry" discussion are APAs: These
are limited-circulation publications meant for a collection of
artists/writers to share their work with *other* artists and writers.
Usually each contributor pays his share of the production costs depending
upon how much of each "issue" consists of his work, and copies of the
collected publication are only circulated among the contributors.
Examples include "Rowrbrazzle" and "Furthest Northern Crew (FNC)".
A variation on this is the APA'zine, which is an APA which accepts
contributions only from members but which allows non-members to purchase
copies. Examples include "Huzzah!" and "Gallery".
