Laura,
As far as I know, there are no fanzines totally devoted to ER fan
fiction. There are probably some ER fan fiction stories that have been
included in fanzines, but since I've never bought a fanzine, I don't
know for certain.
With regard to ER slash fan fiction, the first writer to really make a
mark in that genra was WPAdmirer, with her "Chicago" series of stories
featuring John Carter and Walter Skinner from "The X-Files"
(http://hometown.aol.com/wpadmirer/).
A lot of the early ER fan fiction
archives are now closed, so finding dates for them and the stories
posted there might be difficult, but I know that ER fan fiction predates
my first story, which was written back in 1998 - and which was NOT slash
(so you all can stop laughing now), but was a Carter/Anna Del Amico
story, "The Man Who Held Her Heart."
I haven't checked out all of the slash archives for ER fan fiction, but
I have the general impression that there's a bit more femslash out there
than m/m slash. I do run a yahoo group for male slash, ER Realm Of
Slash (ERROS), and it's been around since October 21, 2000. A trip
through the archives here at a.t.e.creative should give you the date
when this community was begun -- I can remember it being started, but
can't remember the date <g>.
I have some of the older archives bookmarked, although I haven't checked
them recently and can't guarantee that they're still around. If you're
interested, let me know and I'll check those URLs for you -- there might
be some dates listed on them as to when the stories were posted.
Hope that helps,
Cathy
