Floss! was a science fiction fanzine by Lilian Edwards.

Floss! was published in Edinburgh, Scotland, in the early 2000s.

Lilian Edwards had previously published three issues of the fanzine Gloss with Victor Gonzalez from 2000 to 2001, and when that zine ended she followed it up with Floss!

Ted White writes of Floss!, "Lilian Edwards has been putting out fanzines for around 20 years by now and has it down to a fine art."

Andy Hooper writes, "Lilian is a woman of many interests and appetites, and her fanzines typically feature the contemplation of one of more vices to which fan are prone. Half the pieces in Floss # 4 deal with sex and relationships in some fashion. I was most engrossed with Lilian's article titled 'My Vagina Monologue'."

Contributions of writing include Jae Leslie Adams (Wabe),James Bacon (Journey Planet), Erika Maria Lacey Barrantes, Gregory Benford (Void), Claie Brialey, Tanya Brown, Randy Byers (Chunga), Richard Clegg, Alexis Gilliland, Lucy Huntzinger (Rude Bitch), Tim Jones, Tony Keen, Eric Lindsay, Max, Joseph Nicholas, and Dale Speirs (Opuntia), Ian Smith, and Juliette Woods.

Contributions of artwork were from Alison Scott, and Pete Young (Zoo Nation).

Also included are photos from conventions, cartoons by Dave Hicks and 4 pages of letters.

In the 1980s, Lillian Edwards had co-edited the fanzine This Never Happens with Christina Lake.
