This collection consists of assorted fanzines - primarily pieces of fan fiction - collected by Champaign, IL-based fan Susan Hill. A number of different fandoms are represented in the collection, and a significant number of publications are devoted to the British science fiction television show Blake's 7. There is also a large number of multimedia anthologies, which contain stories from many different media fandoms. Also present in the collection are a few program books from different science fiction conventions.

Most of the items are pieces of fan fiction. Fan fiction is defined as stories, novellas, novels, or poems written by fans about the characters, situations or general universe of the original work.
