Aotearapa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aotearapa is a New Zealand-based amateur press association, run in association with New Zealand science fiction fandom, it caters primarily - but not exclusively - to science fiction fans. Founded by Greg Hills in 1979, it is New Zealand's only apa, and its longest-running science fiction-related publication. it is published bi-monthly, and (as of late 2005) had reached 157 issues. Members are mostly from New Zealand, although there have been members in the United States, Australia, and the United Kingdom.
Aotearapa had its heyday in the early 1990s under the editorship of Keith Smith and James Dignan, at which time it would often exceed 180 pages. In decline in recent years, there is occasional debate as to whether it should be wound up, though it appears to be surviving.
