Celebrate 10 Years of Fish Custard With 1p Fanzines And A Competition

-
To celebrate 10 years since the launch of Fish Fingers and Custard, we are going to offer our readers the opportunity to get their hands on some of our swag for 1 pence plus postage costs (so 1p + P+P – we wanted to give them away for free, but our shop provider doesn't allow sellers to enter in a 'zero price'!).


Okay, the Fish Custard storeroom needs clearing out – and it’s either us giving them away or burning them.

The following items are available from our shop now:
  • Issue 2 (two copies left).
  • A 16-page promotional issue that was originally handed out at London Film and Comic Con in 2011 (thirteen copies left).
  • Pin badge sets (three sets left).
Once they’re gone, they’re gone – and please only order one item, so there’s more to go around. Thanks.

Win A Historical Fanzine!

Also, we are launching a competition to win the original proof copy of Issue 1 – aside from being the first copy ever printed, it’s nothing special. We’ve no idea why anyone would want it tbh – the covers have been printed on the same paper as what the interior pages are (they were usually printed on matte/gloss paper for cleaner, crisp imagery), some ink has bled through the pages and there are a number of errors accompanied by some unreadable handwriting, correcting them. Nevertheless, you can get this important historical document for FREE, so it must be good.

Well, I say free – we have to get something out of it. All you need to do to enter is to sign up for our new mailing list. You can opt out any time, but we hope you stick around for future communications from us.

Once you’re signed up, you’ll be entered in the draw. The closing date is Saturday 23rd May at 23:59 BST (we have to be specific about these things).

Cheers and good luck! If you haven't already, check out our latest free download issue - Issue 18.

Cash Cows Go To Cardiff!

As I write this, the BBC (or BBC Worldwide) have dropped a bollock by announcing an official convention, with Matt Smith and Steven Moffat. Great news! Well, not really. To get into the convention, you have to part with £99 which doesn’t include autographs ( £20/25 per signature, depending on whichever person you want to sign) and photographs at the same price.  All that is before you have to think about travel to and from Cardiff, food, drink and hotels...it all mounts up. I’m not for one minute saying that you shouldn’t go, as that’s up to you, but surely you can see that this is just a blatant rip-off? Using Doctor Who as a tool to rake in money in the most obscene way possible – by ripping off the very people who love it. And I’ve not even mentioned the best bit yet – Children aren’t really welcome... You heard me right, Children and Families - the very people the show is made for, are NOT advised to attend. What does the convention contain? Lapdancers with Cybermen ...

Issue 2 Preview

Issue 2 is now out in print and available to purchase! The free download will be available next week. So in the meantime..here is a little something from Issue 2 to wet your appetite! ALL THE TABLOID NEWSPAPER RUMOURS – ALL THE TIME Matt Smith Is Rubbish And Is Getting Sacked D octor Who fans have seemingly got their way. A bloke I spoke to down the pub reckons that Matt Smith will be sacked as Doctor Who, because ‘he isn’t as good as David Tennant and the geeks don’t like him’. Message Boards have been awash with calls for the actor, 16, to be booted out. I must say that I agree with them, as the internet is never wrong. Not that I steal anything off there and publish it here, mind. Despite smashing all records for most views on the BBC IPlayer and viewing figures on BBC America, SPACE and some Australian channel (not to mention the upturn in profits of DVD’s, books and other merchandise) the interest in Doctor Who is at an all-time low and I know this because my ‘insider’ said so (w...
