Rapp Flaming Fans in Chronoscope Autumn 29 Immediately arises the question, how did the superb craftsmanship and delicate enchantment of current pulp science fiction arise from the earlier sagas of stereotyped characters dwindling into atomic-sized universes amid plots packed with improbably lush coincidence?
sercon adj. [1952 A. H. Rapp, L. Hoffman & ‘R. Boggs’ Fanspeak 11/1 serious constructive fan. One who thinks fan activity is less of a hobby than a means of advancing mankind toward the utopias described in science fiction. Serious constructiveness also extends to…publishing ‘high-minded’ fanzines in order to impress and recruit outsiders.]
stfan n. 1949 A. H. Rapp American Prozines in The Fantasy Annual 1948 Apr. 85 (review of H. Beam Piper’s He Walked Around the Horses) The story is more likely to interest history fiends than stfen in general, being a standard variation on the alternate-worlds theme, and is really only a preliminary to Piper's yarn in the July Astounding.
