ILLUMINATION

     It has been some time since a fan magazine has been published which has been devoted to weird fiction -- and Polaris will try to fill that vacancy. We will print weird material chiefly--fiction, verse, and articles--but we will also try to provide some things of interest to the science-fiction fan as well. Please write and tell us what you think of our first attempt, what material you liked best; better yet, demonstrate what you like best by writing an example and sending it to us. If we agree with you, your contribution will appear in an early issue.
     Although for the present Polaris will appear quarterly, later we hope to be able to issue the magazine more often. Future issues may be distributed to the Fantasy Amateur Press Association, but will continue to be available to non-members at 10 cents a copy.
     So please write soon, fellow fans--we want the opinions and the contributions of all of you. With your help we will try to make Polaris a magazine of which every weird fan can be proud.
