The stuff in the mag you posted doesn't qualify as fan fiction.

Here let me google that for you:

A fanzine typically includes a variety of content created by enthusiasts for the pleasure of others who share their interests. The contents of a fanzine can vary widely depending on the focus and theme of the publication. Some common elements found in fanzines include:

  • Articles: Fan-written articles discussing various aspects of the cultural phenomenon that the fanzine is centered around. These articles can cover analysis, reviews, opinions, and more.

  • Artwork: Illustrations, drawings, comics, and other visual creations contributed by fans to enhance the visual appeal of the fanzine.

  • Letters of Comment (LoCs): Responses from readers or fans commenting on previous issues, providing feedback, sharing their thoughts, or engaging in discussions related to the content published in the fanzine.

  • Fan Fiction: Original fiction stories based on characters or settings from the cultural phenomenon being celebrated in the fanzine.

  • Poetry: Poems written by fans that reflect themes or emotions related to the subject matter of the fanzine.

  • Interviews: Conversations with creators, artists, or individuals involved in the cultural phenomenon being explored in the fanzine.

  • Reviews: Critiques and evaluations of related books, movies, music, or other media within the scope of interest for fans.

  • Editorials: Opinion pieces written by contributors expressing their viewpoints on relevant topics within the fandom or community.

  • Fan Art Galleries: Sections dedicated to showcasing artwork submitted by fans, often featuring a variety of styles and interpretations.

  • Advertisements: Promotions for upcoming events, conventions, merchandise, or other fan-related activities within the community.

It's literally fan made content. If you do not understand this at this point. I don't know what to tell you.

And considering that the authors listed in your photo contributed entirely original fiction to the magazine, it doesn't qualify as fanfiction.

Right. Even though it is one of the first fanzines, it is not fan fiction. Because the fans made content. ☑.
