BtL (Between the Lines) is a newsletter about Deborah Gibson and her music. On March 31, 1989, several fans got together to create a Deborah Gibson discussion forum in the form of a regular newsletter. They first called it "The Electric Youth", which was changed to "Between the Lines" in the second issue. BtL (ISSN 1201-4826, electronic publication ISSN 1201-4834) operates on a non-profit basis. BtL used to release issues approximately every month, but nowadays is released more sporadically whenever there are enough submissions by fans. Issues generally contain the latest information, transcriptions of other sources, reviews and opinions, all submitted by BtL members.

The membership started off with fifteen people and has since then steadily grown. Currently the membership is 1000+, with members from Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Indonesia, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, the Netherlands, Peru, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Issues are sent by e-mail and are free of charge.

BtL offers several additional mailing lists for it's members:

BtL EXPRESS

BtL EXPRESS is a mailing list used by the BtL moderators to quickly send out information, though only in rare cases.

Also, the BtL issues are being sent out using this list so a subscription to the BtL Newsletter is essentially the same as a subscription to BtL EXPRESS. You can subscribe by visiting the BtL ListInfo page. Past messages are available on this site.

ELECTRIC NEWS is a mailing list only for news and information regarding Deborah Gibson. It is only available in Reflector format.

Anything Is Possible (AIP)

AIP is a mailing list for members of the BtL Newsletter to have lively discussions regarding Deborah Gibson and any related topic.
