/ˈfæn.mæɡ/ · noun
(dated, fandom slang) Magazine produced by amateurs for readers with a specific shared interest..
LeZ plans, in the future, to print these Cullings regularly, from foreign fanmags, or American mags of small circulation, in the belief that you might otherwise not see the material.
Arthur Widner Jr., editor of the Strangers Club's FANFARE, is plugging the word "fanzines" to take the place of the Philadelphian's "fanag" and the usual "fanmag". Incidentally, FANFARE is the neatest, most legible, and cleanest of any hectographed fanzine I have yet seen. In two colors too, into the bargain.
The first issue of a fanmag from the southern-most post of Australian science fiction is good.
The advertising value of fanzines to promags is negligible, for the simple reason that anyone in sufficient contact with STF to read fanmags knows all about the prozines.
People who put out worthless fanmags and try and soak the unwary fan 25¢ for them, people who sell back issue magazines at outrageous prices, people who put out offset, super-duper printed professional type fanzines ... all give me a large pain in the neck.
Use fanmag when its meaning, tone and grammar fit the full sentence. A synonym is not always a direct replacement.

Common synonyms include fanzine.
The opposite depends on the specific sense.
