Pegasus Our initial reluctance to the distribution of Pegasus through the F. A. P. A. was occasioned, primarily, by the complete lack of publications of this type within the organization. Others, such as Censored and Fantaseer, which enjoyed circulation through the mailings were also distributed widely outside by subscription. Contributors outside the Association will be the only non-member recipients of Pegasus. The mailings were composed entirely of papers of friendly and distinctly personal chit-chat, generally centering around the successes and failures of the previous bundles and/or articles of dispute or agreement between members. Naturally we believe that these papers should be the larger part of each mailing but we feel that a magazine of fairly general fan-reader interest, with stories, articles and poems not so close to the organization, also has its place. We hope you feel the same way. Of course, it isn't our intention to offer any sort of competition to the larger subscription magazines of the Spaceways, Fanfare, Space Tales variety; we couldn't. Our resources wouldn't even permit the faint stirring of such a hope within our breast. Now that general distribution has lapsed, the problem of material becomes a larger one, for we must now rely, in great measure, upon the members for the contents of each issue. And while articles and short stories are obtainable (even though with difficulty), it is next to impossible to get enough verse to round out an issue. Not great poetry -- just good verse, a measure of which is imperative to any even fair number. We herewith cast ourself humbly upon your mercy and hope for the best.
