Trap Door is a science-fiction fanzine published by Robert Lichtman, with the first issue appearing in October 1983.
History
It received nominations for the Hugo Award for Best Fanzine in 1987 and 1992.
The magazine is published irregularly and (especially in more recent years) infrequently. As of March 2016, a total of 32 issues had been published. Although it has never won a Hugo Award – most likely due to its limited circulation not reaching enough Hugo Award voters – the magazine is highly regarded and has won (or placed high) on various polls within the science-fiction fanzine subculture (such as the Fan Activity Achievement Award, which it won in 2000, 2004, 2010, 2011, 2013 and 2014).
A wide range of science-fiction fans and professionals have contributed to the magazine over the years. This list is in the order of their first appearance:
