threemonkeysI had a LOC published in Banana Wings 31. Basically just noting how disconnected I had become from that aspect of fandom (based on reading Banana Wings 30) and how I was interested in seeing if I could reconnect. So what happens is that now I have other fanzines sitting here now because they multiply. Actually - fanzine may not be the word - perzine perhaps since that is what Claire calls No Sin But Ignorance. The thing is that an awful lot of the stuff in these publications is about personal history, thoughts, opinions, travel, people met and so on. So what are they a fan of? As far as I can see they are fans of fandon. Science Fiction just comes in as a trigger. Once sucked in then fandom becomes an end unto itself.
That isn't new. The thoughts aren't new. In pretty much the last fanzine I received before this long drought there is an article by Nigel Rowe expressing those same thoughts. I am enjoying reading these fanzines though. So why was it that I stopped?
