Alexa, thanks again for answering my questions.  Of course, the best 
quality for a reasonable price would be ideal, regardless of page-
size, etc.  I would imagine they would sell quite well in this group, 
though I do suspect that the point Neil and Penny made about WB not 
sitting still for HP fanzines is quite valid.  Regardless of the fact 
that there would be no profit made on this, and considering the furor 
over non-profit fansites already, I would expect that this would only 
invite trouble, much as I would love to have some HP zines.  BTW, 
Penny, I would bet JKR would be flattered by the fan's zeal and 
passion, and supportive of the authors' efforts, not to mention 
hugely impressed by their talent.  She'd have to be pleased that her 
characters are so well loved, and that she's inspiring budding 
writers.  WB, on the other hand...

> Someone who's printed out DD or DS or PoU or something else fairly 
standard - how many pages did it come to, and what formatting did you 
use? <<<<<<<<<<<<

I've printed out only a few so far:  PoU, Chps. 1-10 of ASA, and DD.  
8 1/2 x 11, 1-inch margins, and a fairly big font size.  The chapters 
ran anywhere between 15 or so pages to a few that were really long, 
maybe 70 pages.  The average number of pages per chapter seemed to be 
about 30.  I haven't tried totalling all the pages for any of these, 
but PoU is easily 400 pages, at least the way it came out for me.  
Carole, do you have any tips for me? <g>  Guess I'll just keep doing 
it this way.
