The purpose of this group is to promote research and interest in pulp fiction by encouraging the development of articles suitable for publication. Discussions in all areas of pulp fiction are welcome. Areas of interest considered valid discussion topics include pulp magazines, old time radio, newspapers, movies, comic books, comic strip characters, slick magazines, and so on. Emphasis is on the story rather than the particular medium in which it was delivered.

Topics should focus primarily on the pulp era. Topics on present day materials should have some relevance to the discussion group. Historical essays providing factual details of this era are also welcome as a reference material to assist in understanding the underlying social and political forces that influenced the fiction of the period.
