Plokta is a highly dubious, twice Hugo-winning fanzine edited by Alison Scott, Steve Davies and Dr. Plokta, aka Mike Scott. The Plokta cabal includes Steven Cain, Giulia De Cesare, Sue Mason, Flick, Marianne Cain, Jonathan Cain and (formerly) George the cat (RIP). Plokta has its own domain, Plokta.com, whose homepage contains links to other Plokta projects.
We would love to receive your emails of comment . To join a mailing list and be notified of exciting new developments in the ever expanding Plokta empire, or at least of updates to this site, send an email to the list administrator. We also publish site update information to our news site, PNN.
There have been forty-one issues on paper to date (plus four intermediate special issues), 25 of which (and the specials) have been converted to HTML. The Web version has extra features. New jokes! Valuable historical notes! Colour photos! Colour hecto! Hot links to sites mentioned in the text! Really, you should be reading Plokta on paper and on the Web.
The paper version of the fanzine was reformatted from issue 13, and the Web version followed suit with a new format of its own. Issues 1 to 12½ have been left in their original format.

Watch also for other Plokta Enterprises projects appearing here, such as Trinketry, Wrath of Ghu, The Way of the Wombat, the Intervention non-newsletter and other fannish publications from our mighty superfluous technology. Mike Scott's fanzine Zorn is already available. So are the Corflu UK newsletter and a Reconvene one-shot.
Plokta online contains a number of external links, for whose contents or continued existence we cannot be responsible. Please let us know of any which seem to be broken.
Plokta online uses the Georgia and Trebuchet MS typefaces, which are no longer available from Microsoft, but can be obtained here. If you can't or won't use these fonts, it should also look just fine with your default fonts, unless you've set them to WingDings or something equally pointless.
The Plokta webpages are mostly formatted to be readable using any browser at 640x480 resolution or better. Please contact us if you have problems. We have checked with the following browsers: Safari, Firefox, Opera, Internet Explorer, Netscape, Mozilla, Konqueror, Galeon and Nautilus.
