Because of the costs, we've had to keep the size of the print runs down to what we have needed for The Cybertronian Times for the last few years, especially with Auto Assembly being run on a non-profit making basis.

Anyway, a lot of the older issues are now out of print, or are getting very close to that state so I'm going to be releasing them as free downloads through the website. You can read more about the plans on the website as well as getting your hands on a copy of Issue 5 now:-

More issues will be released in the next week or so!

Um, I'm getting an error...?

I'll look into it when I'm back at my PC and let you know what the problem is.

I'd rather you just fix it.

(edit: nevermind, I can download it now. Yay!)

I found the problem yesterday - a simple typo in my code that meant that the site wasn't quite looking in the right place for the file.

All sorted now and Issue 8 will be online next!

Issue 8 is online now and Issue 10 is coming next...

The first four issues probably won't be released as digital editions as they were produced using different software to all the later versions and they would need to be completely re-created from scratch. I do have the physical masters that went to the printers so the only way we could do it is to scan them in page by page and create the PDF files that way. However, I don't know what quality the resulting fanzines would come out at.

Issue 1 is the smallest one we produced so I may do that one as a trial and see how it goes and see what feedback we get.

Finally, a quick question about the downloads... We have a few issues where we still have physical copies left. Would you be interested in these if we asked for a small donation towards them, say £1.00 - £1.50 per issue?
