Diving in: Hudson Luce served as the unfortunate intermediary between Gunderloy and R. Seth Friedman. Unfortunate not because of anything he did, but rather what happened to him. Luce details the tragic circumstances of - [Interview with John Held, Jr.](https://f5archive.org/held/) - I had first heard of John Held, Jr. some years ago when I picked up issue #19 of Fluke at Quimby’s, which focused on histories of mail art via a series of interviews. As someone who knew very little about that scene and its relationship to zines, I read the issue with much curiosity, recalling - [Revisiting Stephen Duncombe's Zines: Notes from Underground](https://f5archive.org/duncombe/) - “The underground is not a tight, formalized, and coherent social grouping with firm boundaries; instead it is a nongeographical sprawl which must be mapped out” (57) -Stephen Duncombe, Zines: Notes From Underground The final five issues of F5 spanned three and half years, from February 1995 (not September as mistakenly mentioned in an earlier post) - [Factsheet Five Parties](https://f5archive.org/factsheet-five-parties/) - Mike Gunderloy often hosted large parties at his house in Rensselaer, just across the Hudson from downtown Albany, or as his party flier described it, from “the bowels of the [New York] state government.” He would convene dozens of self-publishers from all over the northeast, including the late Peter Lamborn Wilson (aka Hakim Bey), David - [Issue 64 • The Final Issue](https://f5archive.org/64/) - So far this project has focused on the emergence of F5 in the early 1980s and Gunderloy specifically. I’m still working on trying to understand this emergence, especially the ways in which zines in the 70s and 80s were part of a wider, weirder assemblage that included not just punk and sci-fi communities, but counterculture, - [The Many Zines of Mike Gunderloy](https://f5archive.org/the-many-zines-of-mike-gunderloy/) - Between late 1970s and the mid 1980s, Gunderloy published several other zines in addition to F5 — and given the haphazard nature of how these zines were tucked into Box 9 of the archive, there were probably a lot more than just eight nine ten (I keep finding more and more in my files), and - [Inertia and Fascination](https://f5archive.org/inertia-and-fascination/) - Gunderloy would write and publish about his motives throughout his reign at F5 both within its pages and when he opined for others, such as he did in a 1987 issue of Toronto’s The Blotter, where he distilled his desire into two primary reasons: inertia and fascination. Of the former, Gunderloy described it as the - [Calling Bob Dobbs](https://f5archive.org/dobbs/) - One “organization” that was mentioned in early issues of F5 was The Church of SubGenius. Perhaps the best introduction to this bizarre pseudo-religion is via the recent documentary, J.R. 'Bob' Dobbs and the Church of the SubGenius (2019). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3fW7FNAvrc In his “review” of the Church in Issue 1, Gunderloy wrote that the Church would: “…reveal - [High Weirdness by E-Mail](https://f5archive.org/email/) - The earliest issues of F5 showcased the range of fringe cultures being stitched together through its pages: Flat Earthers and other conspiracy theorists, parody religions, psychics, anarchists, libertarians, sci-fi fans, punk rockers, even newsletters that reviewed laundromats. Twenty-ish issues later — as F5 circulation jumped from 150 copies to 2,000 — the message was the - [Factsheet Six](https://f5archive.org/f6/) - The title “Factsheet Five” was inspired from a story by British sci-fi writer John Brunner. Yet, in true zine fashion, Gunderloy didn’t announce this from the get-go. Rather, in a section in Issue #1, he implored his readers to guess the reference through a contest: “First person to identify the source of the title will - [Issue 1 • "Æditorial whim"](https://f5archive.org/issue-1/) - An overview of Issue 1 of Factsheet Five which includes reviews of discordian zines, anarchism, and other oddities - [A History of Zines Told Through Factsheet Five](https://f5archive.org/a-history-of-zines-told-through-factsheet-five/) - Welcome to the Factsheet Five Archive Project.
