5 Quotations from Susan Wood
fanfic n. | 1975 | The Club House in Amazing Stories Mar. 105/2 The material is surprisingly good (fanfic, which normally I dislike) to excellent (Michael Carlson’s account of a Virginia college, the editor’s ramblings).
fanfic n. | 1975 | The Club House in Amazing Stories July 107/2 Most important, I don’t see any point in mindless feuding, or in flaying some hapless neo’s smudgy ditto creation, full of crude art and worse fanfic, distinguished only by its misuse of the English language, merely to satisfy my readers' bloodlust.
gafiate n. | 1977 | Propellor Beanie in Algol (#29) Summer 23/1 Me, I’m Susan, Old Fan and Tired, local gafiate. I’m the short one with glasses, who has no ambition to write SF.
neo n. | 1977 | Propellor Beanie in Algol Summer–Fall 23/1 It’s really easy to start a genzine. All you need are a couple of neos with lots of time and enthusiasm; a couple of older fen with experience and enthusiasm (not to mention enough fannish contacts to make up a mailing-list); and a certain amount of mood-enhancers and sheer lunacy to get you to the point at which the thing stops being a great idea for Real Soon Now, and starts being a reality. A lot of crudzines are born that way.
trufan n. | 1977 | Propellor Beanie in Algol Spring 43/1 Trufen reprint Walt Willis columns; superfan Hughes recently printed a new Willis column presenting the Irish Legend’s return to fandom, at the 1976 Eastercon, after an 11-year gafiation.
