Writing about fanzines of the late 1960s, Arnie Katz said, "Science Fiction Review, Crossroads, and the rest were a feast for those who enjoyed heavyweight intellectual sparring," in his article "The Philosophical Theory of Fan History".

Contributors included Gregory Benford (Void), Ed Cox (Altair, Triton), and Andrew Offutt.

Crossroads was one of the fanzines in which Grant Canfield's art work first appeared.

Al Snider also co-edited the fanzine Nimrod with Dwain G. Kaiser in the 1960s.
