I want to know who sold the rights for the month of August to Irwin Allen. You remember how I thought May was crummy? May was frustrating, and a hassle, but August was practically nothing but mistakes, accidents and disasters. Go on and read this pz, though. Most everybody lives, it has a happy ending, and at the very least it should make your month seem pleasantly uneventful contrast.

News from the Fan Fund Fight Front. Actually, nothing much has been happening. No have heard from two publishing sources, Spectrum and Interstat. The former requested further information and corroboration of several statements we made as the editor is planning to go to other people involved for their statements also, and then present a broad overview, Interstat requested we rewrite our letter. Something about not printing anything that wasn't 'provable.' I was under the impression Interstat was a letterzine and not a court of law, so that verbal reports made to KathE or I were abmissable but we are willing to play by their rules up to a point. So we are working on the rewrite. It brings to mind a couple of discussions I've had as to whether or not Interstat expensively edits the letters submitted to them.

  • comments about KarvelCon and KingCon
  • "Enough people have asked me what Floating Head Art (see the button suggesting it be stamped out, last issue) was that I decided I should explain. See, there is this disgustingly prevalent tendency in (bad) Trekzines to "illo" a story by tracing a character's face from a film clip or small photo. I would like to see this practice eliminated—though I wouldn't go so far as to suggest the elimination of the so-called artists and editors who do it. Deportation to Pluto would do nicely. As far as well done, thoughtful portraits or character studies—like Spock on black velvet—hey, whatever trips your trigger, eh?"
