FAN-ATIC 3 EDITORIAL by Charles (CAB) Beling Yeah, Fanny's out again. And only one month late this time, ain't it wonderful? Last time we were three months late. Which brings us to the major topic. We want to put the next issue out as soon as we can, which means right away. To do this we'll need your help badly. All authors of columns, etc. and anybody who wants to contribute to the next issue must send their material in as soon as they receive this issue. That means Thompson, Ackerman, and Pogo (Who's supposed to do the next HELL'S CORNER). We are going to try to start stencilling the next issue on August 13th. That means that you'll have to hurry. In the future we'll try to give the authors much more time to do their material. We're awfully sorry about this rush, and sincerely hope it won't happen again. But this time; please hurry, for God's sake! We don't need any poetry, art, or fiction. Just articles, and lots of them. For those who are receiving FAN-ATIC for the first time; HELL'S CORNER is a regular department where any fan who wants to can get his pet peeve off his chest. It will always be 1/2 page of elite type. It will always start with the same sentence: "I nominate ------ for a corner in Hell." Any fan who wants to can write it. Nothing is barred that the Postal Regulations will let pass thru the U.S. Mail. For next issue we don't know exactly what we'll have; so we'll give a list of what we have on hand. A long (2 page) ballad by Archer Cusp concerning 3 famous fans; incidentally, any connection between the ballad and "Wynken, Blynken, and Nod" is on purpose. Also handy are a couple of exclnt poems by Ray Washington, Jr., and Phil Schumann. Naturally, all of that poetry won't appear in one issue. Then, there are the usual departments. We may have a new column next issue, "Starlight", by the 'Starlighter'. We aren't quite certain about that column yet. We wish to extend our sincere thanks to Doc Lowndes. We had neglected to find some one to write HELL'S CORNER, so we sent a last-minute request to Doc. He came through, on schedule too, beautifully with the excellent installment on Pg. 6. Thanks again, Doc. It was extremely nice of you to do it on such very short notice. We think that Lowndes and Tucker will be surprised. Their articles in this issue were submitted to SUN SPOTS before it was suspended. When we bought the Solar Press mimeo, and everybody thought SSp was dead, we also picked up those two pieces for use in FAN-ATIC. We think that they are both excellent. As most of know by now SUN SPOTS is back again, and printed too this time. In response to many inquiries as to identity of Archer Cusp whose Nashesque verse has been appearing in FAN-ATIC...Archer Cusp is the pseudonym of a professional writer -- though not in the field of science-fiction. Those interested in the "science" of Astrology will have decided that Archer refers to that well-known bowman of the skies -- Sagittarius. While Cusp comes from a birthday just as the sign changes to Capricorn. In plain language, the Archer just missed being the Goat! Just because the last issue had 25 pages and this has only 16 don't think that the size has decreased greatly. Last issue was done in pica type, this in elite. So this is the equivalent of about 20 pages the same as last issue's were. Included with some 40 copies is a little sheet "The Bulletin of the Un-intellectual Brotherhood of Anti-Scientists". Since it was hektoed we only had 40 copies, they're going to those we feel would be interested in them. There are none left. **
