A compilation book containing the best bits of the notoriously-childish Doctor Who fanzine, Auton, is to be published by Hirst Books this September.

The book will include the best of the 19 issues originally published in the nineties, plus what is described as an absolute ton of new and previously unpublished inanity. The book will be large format (180mm x 260mm), full colour throughout and around 200 pages. The Restoration Team's Steve Roberts has written a foreword.

As with the magazine, the book contains adult themes and isn't intended for children.

All the authors proceeds and fees are being equally divided between The MS Society, Foundation For The Study of Infant Death, and The Phyllis Tuckwell Hospice.

The website Nebula One has launched a new fanzine, available as a free download from the site.

Issue One features a comprehensive history of Davros, asks where the Tenth Doctor is going and has an exclusive interview with author Daniel Blythe.

It features competitions and quizzes and looks ahead to Doctor number Eleven.

The Earthbound Timelords group, an online Doctor Who literary/educational collection, has embarked on the Doctor Who Fanzine Preservation Project. The goal of the Project is to save old Doctor Who fanzines from the garbage cans and dust bins and to try to preserve as many as possible for the long term use of Doctor Who researchers and historians. The EBTL site link features the goals and mission of the project. Keeping records of the history of Doctor Who fandom may not seem important to some at first, but this sort of archiving is extremely useful and Outpost Gallifrey fully supports it; check out the site and let them know if you can help!
