Real Ghostbusters Zine Stories
Being an older fandom, RGB is more zine-centered than the other fandoms I've been involved with. Most of the best stories are published in novellas or anthologies, both RGB collections and multia-media zines. The following is a listing of zines with my stories.
Descent
an RGB novella
There's a lot of beings out there with a grudge against the Ghostbusters. But the most dangerous threat isn't supernatural. Dr. Kenneth Ulster has been waiting since Columbia to get his revenge. Now there's an opportunity, and he will not miss this chance... This is Peter Venkman. This is Peter Venkman on drugs. This is Peter Venkman pushed to the ragged edge of sanity, and can he or the guys survive it?
Cover and great illos by Marie Torres. Descent can be purchased from Mysti Frank at Agent
with Style Zines. Look under Ghostbusters.
It is also now available online.
We Got One: 3rd Time's the Charm
An RGB gen anthology edited by Kathy Agel.
My sister and I co-wrote Alone in the Night, a pure Peter-torture piece.
We Got One 3, along with 1 and 2, can be ordered from Criterion Press zines.
Just the Four of Us 3
One in a great series of RGB genzines, edited by Sheila Paulson.
Mine is A Snowball's Chance - haunted houses are always a pain, especially when they're on fire!
Ghostwriters and Just the Four of Us 3, as well as the previous issues of JTFOU and other great RGB zines, can be purchased from Linda Knights at KnightWriter Press
Brothers in Limbo
A Real Ghostbusters/The Sentinel/Quantum Leap cross-over
My first RGB story, online for a little while, now zined. Sam Beckett Quantum Leaps into one Blair Sandburg, the partner of Jim Ellison, the Sentinel, and finds himself in hot water when the real Blair mysteriously disappears. Two years ago, two men vanished the same way, and never were found. Now Sam and Jim must find the men who used to be part of the Ghostbusters. Because Peter and Winston could be Blair's only hope - and because Sam might hold the key to saving Egon and Ray...
Also exclusive to this zine is the followup story
Visitors: When the loft is haunted, Jim and Blair know who they're
gonna call!
Brothers in Limbo can be purchased from Mysti Frank at Agent
with Style Zines
Look under Ghostbusters.
Fanfic Links
Zines aren't the only source for RGB fic; there's also stories available online.
The Real Ghostbusters Fan Page, run by Sheila "the Grand Maestro of All Things RGB" Paulson, has extensive zine listings and links, and also has posted quite a few stories from older zines. Definitely check out Sheila's stories ("I Heard a Stranger Call My Name" and "All the Years Till Midnight" are among my personal faves of what she has posted) and be sure to try Brenda Anders (if you're an angst, smarm/friendship, and Peter fan like me and Robyn, "With a Vengeance" cannot be missed.)
Tamara's Page - no longer available online, reasons unknown.
The Temple of Smarm has a couple of previously-zined stories by angst & smarm adept Kitty Woldow. "Highway to Hell" is the story that got me into this fandom. Warning, it's the arguably the angstiest RGB story, too dark for some - me, I eat this stuff up!
Labidolemur's Real Ghostbusters Fanfic Reviews has links to a variety of stories. Another warning, Anne is an Egon/Janine fan, but she's rec'd some good stories and I try not to hold it against her...
