BANSHEEs: Two solid issues; to interesting covers. But I still prefer seeing fapazines seriatim in their proper mailings. Can be dood? Spence's Spingtumper piece hilarious, but don't you think it lacked something? After all, what is a spingtumper without its gunch?? . . . . . A Hornig blurb once credited Laurence Manning with the statement that he wrote stef exclusively for Uncle Hugo. Yet he did turn up at least once after Gernsy bowed out. That was in the first issue of Planet (1939), wherein a thing called "Expedition to Pluto" was credited to Fletcher Pratt and Laurence Manning. It was a stinker and quite unlike anything else I've ever read by either of these two. What happened to "Maze of Creation" I know not. Also, what became of "The Jester of Xenonia" (Bartel), "The Other Side" (Stone), "Beyond the Limit" (Binder), and "Black World" (Chapple), all announced, but never published, by Wonder. Others, "Golden Nemesis" (Kyle), "Into the Darkness" (Rocklynne), and "Another Chance" (Temple), also accepted for Wonder, eventually saw publication elsewhere. Irrelevantly, the appearance of Paul K. Chapple in the above list of authors brings to mind a letter by him (or someone of precisely the same name) published in Life ca 1938-9. He described an organization he had formed; its members were supposed to laugh derisively every time they heard A. Hitler's name mentioned. The idea, apparently, was that the movement might become widespread and ridicule the paperhanger out of power. We wonder how the organization has fared over the years? . . . . . "Haw! Paleema! Habby fee!"? "Ta! Ta! Ta! Sissa kawmy kray!" Casey, "They Had Rhythm!", Astounding, 22, iv, 141. . . . . . Hurry back, Paul, and do that 10,000 Years guest column for me!
Raym seems no little carried away by his own oratory in the Raymic Rebuttal. But, whathell, maybe what we need is somebody with ideals so's to offset the baneful influence of us hardened old cynics.

GUTETO: The bibliography is valuable. But is it so surprising that Esperanto literature contains a more than average amount of fantasy?

JANUS: Some day when all this turble-burly is over we'll hafta count up and see how many new fen have been introduced to actifanning by fortunes of war.

FANTASY AMATEUR: The appointment of a Historical Coordinator is an excellent idea, and DAW's the man for the post. but was Dr. Guillotine the very first to go to the? It's nice to find that we still have our Off'al Critics. I agree that every item should rate a comment. See that it's done, hereafter.

FFF PRESENTS: 'Sgood to have all this stuff together here. How come Merritt didl't get a covermention?

BROWSINGs: Data on Robin Hood is interesting. Unbelievers should read Baring-Gould's amusing treatment of the Napoleon "myth", in his "Curious Myths of the Middle Ages". The contribution to the fen-slen business is reasonable enough. But hadn't we better make clear the distinction that a person may be a slan and yet lack entirely that mental quirk characteristic of the fan?  Yes, and there are fen, too, who, though marshy enough, just haven't the psychons to be slen.

ELMURMURINGS: Corbett and Cross both pseuds for same author? Ah doubts it. Ain't Chan Corbett all same Nat Schachner and Polton Cross = John Russell Fearn?

Saving...
