Aside from being a member of the LASFS, and contributing to fanzines, she was also one of the Associate Editors of [[The Mutant]] for the first issue, which appeared in 1946.

	In June 1947, Eydthe Eyde published the first issue of [[Vice Versa]], which is credited as being the first publication to appear devoted to lesbians. She typed each issue while at work as a secretary at RKO Studios using a carbon paper to make 4 copies, and then repeating the process to create 10 copies of each issue. Although not usually referred to as a "zine", Eyde was involved in the science fiction community of the day, so there is reason to believe she was following in this tradition. The cover consisted of only the title, typed directly in the center of an otherwise blank sheet of paper. She mailed the first issue to friends. When she learned it was illegal in the U.S.A. to mail any material about gays or lesbians, she delivered the zine by hand to readers.

	This undoubtedly has something to do with the fanzine [[Hymn To Satan]] that Tigrina released around this time (University of California Riverside Libraries has a copy) that Arthur Joquel, in his fanzine [[Sun Trails]], expressed an interest in orchestrating. Ironically, Laney published work by Tigrina in his own zine, [[The Acolyte]], given his vitriolic expose of gays and lesbians in the LASFS entitled "Oh! Sweet Idiocy!", at a time when to be gay or lesbian in the U.S.A was illegal.

Nine issues were published. Eydthe Eyde stopped publishing in February 1958, only because she had lost her job at RKO Studios. In 2010, she was inducted into the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association's Hall of Fame for her pioneering work with ''Vice Versa''.

	There were no names included in the publication at the time. Later, Eyde began writing for the lesbian periodical [[The Ladder]] and used the name Lisa Ben, an anagram of "lesbian", and this name was retroactively ascribed to ''Vice Versa''. Much later, in the early 2000s, Eyde was accorded many honors as one of the pioneers of gay and lesbian journalism, and it was at this time that her real name, knowledge of her editorship, and Ackerman's involvement with the zine was finally made public by her.
