The fanzine was notorious for many reasons, as it included mostly textual information about the way how the ''Albedo'' universe works, by either Gallacci (the author) and, non-canonically, by other people besides him. It also included textual essays, officially, but non-canonical fan-faction, which, for many years, were considered as pseudo-canonical information about many aspects of the setting, as for many years Gallacci was very vague about the background of the ''Albedo'' universe, outside what was originally explained in the comics, including information about the [[{{Precursors}} Creators]], the race that created the anthropomorphics.

The essay is also notable because its author, Douglas Quinn, is a Catholic priest in RealLife and a long time fan of the comic, so he researched about the topic quite a lot.

* ''Why?'' (Richard Chandler): An essay about the possible reasons why the Creators created the anthropomorphics. For years it was the closest thing to a OriginStory regarding them.

* ''Music in the Albedo Universe'' (D.A.C. Cromwell): [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin As the title says]], it's a long description about how the anthropomorphics create music, taking into account the concept was pretty alien for them at first.
* ''You Simply Need to Get Social'' (Jeffrey Pierce): Deals with a similar topic like the previous essay, except it deals with popular culture and arts in the ''Albedo'' universe.

Unlike the previous works, which were textual, this one was done in comic book format. Deals mainly about the life in Dornthant, the Felnas' homeworld and the culture of that planet and the whole setting.
* ''Exo-Genesis'' (Raymond J. Foldhazi): A [[CutShort incomplete three-part fanfic]] about the Creators, the people who set the seeds of life in Arras Chanka, the planet when all the anthros came from, and the person resposable for creating them. Just like in the case of ''Why?'', it was also the closest thing to an official story about the person and the persons, with full names and some kind of backgrounds, behind the creation of the anthropomorphics, since many of the theories handled on the plot were very credible considering the current backstory of the comic and what was known to that date.
* ''Ithaquae: Turmoil at the Edge of Known Space'' (Jeff Kyer): Technically, it's neither an essay nor a fanfic, but an expansion for the [[TableTopGame/AlbedoTheRolePlayingGame tabletop game]] that takes place in the titular solar system.
* ''Weapons Modelling for the Furry Customer'' (Mitchell Marmer): Basically, a manual about how to do ''Albedo'' {{Cosplay}}.
* ''The Music of These Kids Today'' (David Schneberger): A fanfic about a Vulpine father complaining about his son's taste for music, [[spoiler:which is [[IncrediblyLamePun heavily implied]] to be ''UsefulNotes/HeavyMetal'']].
