Prolapse
Prolapse (later Relapse) is a British fanzine edited by Peter Weston.
Peter Weston had previously published Speculation. For his return to fanzine publishing, he originally launched Prolapse in 1983 as an apazine. In 2006, it was relaunched, and featured letters of comment on the previous two issues. With the fourth issue, Weston announced its focus from that point forward would be the history of British fandom. It was subtitled "The Time-Travelling Fanzine".

Other contributors include Judy Blish, Rob Hansen (Chuch), Ann Green, John-Henri Holmberg, Dan Morgan, Peter Nicholls, Stan Nicholls, Greg Pickersgill (Stop Breaking Down, Rastus Johnson's Cakewalk), and Mark Tudor.
Art work and photography were contributed by Chris Bell, Bill Burns, Keith Freeman, Dave Hicks, Sam Long, Mike Meara, Sam Mercer, Chris Murphy, Lars-Olav Strandberg, Ina Shorrock, Norman Shorrock, Andrew Stephenson.
