Grapevine (disk magazine)

Grapevine was a Disk magazine for the Commodore Amiga published by the demoscene group LSD. The magazine was published between 1991 and 1995.
History
The first eight issues of Grapevine were published on a single floppy disk. As the magazine became more popular and more articles were submitted by its readers, it grew in length, and required two to three disks per issue. The editor of Grapevine was known as Parasite, later PaZZa/LSD. Several co-editors helped with the magazine under PaZZa's guidance, including Scud/LSD, Torch/LSD, and KEND/LSD. The magazine was originally coded by Monty Python, and then re-coded with a mouse-driven interface later in the series by Shagrat, Fish/LSD, watchman/LSD, and others. Artists regularly made custom art covers for the magazine's title page. Echo/LSD (Graham Gray/Spoon Wizard) and Mub/LSD wrote original background music.
Breadth of topics
Grapevine was mainly a magazine for those within the demo scene, so some articles made little sense to outsiders. Nonetheless, it was well received. Some original LSD members were approached for permission to start the revival project, and the first issues contained submissions from KenD/LSD.
The revival website, as well as that of EllesDee, was subsequently shut down.
