"FAQNP (FAQNP’s A Queer Nerd Publication) is a non-ironic occasional publication for queer nerds and their admirers. Issue_04: Science Fiction & Fantasy examines the kinship many queer nerds have with speculative fiction. Topics range from He-Man and She-Ra to Philip K Dick to Dr. Who. The magazine is created by and for queer nerds who feel outside the mainstreaming of queer culture. It covers the ordinary lives and interests of queers, because the ordinary is often quite interesting."

"FAQNP calls itself "A Queer Nerd Publication" and maaaan is it nerdy! (In the best possible way of course!) Issue three is FAQNP's self-described "Queer Nerd's Travel Guide." Contents include "A Curated Guide to Printed Matter in San Francisco," a smarty-pants piece on traveling in Japan, an essay entitled "A Type Nerd's Time in India," and a feature on Scandinavian libraries and Budapest Bathhouses. (And much, MUCH more, of course.) Totally entertaining and mega helpful, this 56-page travel guide is an outstanding resource and a hella stimulating read. This will LIVE in your rucksack/bikebag/glove compartment/suitcase. Awesome! Essential! So good! Get out there and have some adventures, queer nerds!"

"Those of us born in the 1970s will remember a time when the internet was a place for nerds—a haven away from being picked on for being queer, troubled, or different. Ray Cha remembers the pre-graphical internet as a safe place to come out, others remember it as a place to cruise, and yet others recall it as a safe place to learn about their own identity by meeting other queers and learning about how to deal with difficult issues. This is a compilation of queer and computer themed interviews, anecdotes, comics, surveys, etc. It also has the most awesome, and quite possibly the only, series of poems about early 90's fantasy role play computer gaming. Includes a rad "Queer Nerd Hall of Fame" poster to hang above your desktop for daily inspiration. Worth any price. Party on!"
