12 Quotations from Francis T. Laney
| combozine n. | 1946 Miscellania in Fan-Dango (#12) Summer 8 For the special PACIFICONGLOMERATION, the combozine flung together by that high flinger E Everett Evans, I am inserting pages 1-8 and 7-8. |
| egoboo n. | 1946 Comments on the Spring Mailing in Fan-Dango (#12) Summer 6 The warm glow of righteous egoboo arising usually makes the character feel quite kindly towards me—and of course I’m not proud; I don’t mind someone’s going to a good deal of trouble for me. Only trouble is, such a procedure knocks me out of my ego-boo. Ho hum. |
| fanarchistic adj. | 1944 in Fan-Dango #7 (Winter) 9 I am particularly struck with your underlying attitude that all these projects must be sponsored by the NFFF or some similar organization in order to be successful. Now I realise that my own personal fanarchistic attitude may perhaps be coloring my views, but I honestly cannot see the utility of the NFFF in such a connection. |
| fanning n. | 1943 Laney Views the Slan Center in Fan-Dango #2 Sep. 3 My wife, for example, though a charming and rather personable red-head, can see nothing in fanning. |
| fen n. | 1943 Open Letter to Members of FAPA in Fan-Dango (#3-A) 12 Dec. 1 It is obvious to all of us that Degler does not represent fandom in any way, but the tone of his publications is certain to mislead young, uninformed, and impressionable fen. |
| fuggheaded adj. | 1950 Syllabus for Fanzine in Spacewarp (#42) Sept. 10 Getting constructive for a moment, here is the hap-hazard fuggheaded F. Towner Laney fanzine-throwing-together technique which has worked for 14 issues of ACOLYTE. |
| fuggheaded adj. | 1949 in Spacewarp (#31) Oct. 3 (subheading) Fluent, Fairly Fuggheaded Flippancies. |
| fuggheadedness n. | 1950 Syllabus for Fanzine in Spacewarp (#42) Sept. 11 If you are a fugghead, you’ll have a better magazine if you suppress your fuggheadedness, but this is pretty hard to do. |
| fuggheadedness n. | 1950 in Spacewarp (#36) Mar. 10 The reason I’m mildly obsessed with CRACKLE is the innate fuggheadedness of the contents. |
| Lovecraftian adj. | 1946 Comments on the Spring Mailing in Fan-Dango (#12) Summer 6 If he was other than a slight influence, why is it that, outside of stories written by his own most intimate friends, there exist scarcely any stories which can possibly be called Lovecraftian? |
| mundane adj. 1 | 1945 Weird and Fantasy Prozines in Fan (#4) Sep. 4 At the present time, professional mediums for the publication of weird or fantasy fiction are virtually non-existent. An occasional piece of this nature crops up in mundane magazines as Argosy, Blue Book, Speed Detective, Speed Adventure, Jungle Stories, etc.; to say nothing of the steady dribble of fantasy in the slicks, children’s magazines, and the like. |
| stfandom n. | 1944 Gutless Wonders in Fan-Dango #5 (Summer) 2 If we accept fandom as a hobby, we are ethically free to make or reject friends wholly without reference to stfandom. |
