Random Ramblings 27 on other planets, stories told from the point of view of robots, filterable viruses, corpuscles, etc aren't." Well, I am a fan, and I think most of those who are fans will agree with me. I'm sick and tired of these "down to earth" and "human interest" stories. Who cares if they ring "true and dramatic"? If one likes "true and dramatic" stuff, he can go thru any number of "slicks" and find dozens of the same kind of stories, and much better written too...... Of course we're space-struck. Of course we yearn for new worlds, systems, galaxies, universes, and more -- to conquer with our imaginations. The imaginations that started us reading stf. Stf is letting us down by stifling those imaginations with homey, unimaginative, "down to earth" hogwash and bilgewater. Pooey: Stories told from the points of view of robots, filterable viruses, corpuscles, maniacs, and ten legged glphs from Gazaza are just what I like. Stf has gone flat with flat-minded editors like Mort. That's why I don't read it any more . . . . . . . .Yhos . . . (Continued from page 12) The Editor says he wishes the American Boy would print more of my stories. So do I wish it. The way for both of us to get our wishes is for all you fellows who like my yarns to write to Franklin Reck, Editor, or George Perriot, Publisher (or both) The American Boy, Detroit, Michegan, and tell 'em so! I still have one or two crazy ideas of things that never happened but might...... Which is all except wishing you all a good New Year and plenty of your favorite nonscientific dope -- Oh, I just remembered. I also wrote Helmet of Pluto, February 1934 in the American Boy, and several yarns for Classmate of wild and wooly character! Thanks for listening while I yawp about Cloudy!
